George Rs Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 (edited) Haven’t ever watched this podcast before but it’s just come up on my twitter. Their guest for this week will be Nige! Pretty sure it’ll be his first interview since leaving in the autumn (correct me if i’m wrong).Will be very interesting to hear what he has to say!

kmpowell Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 (edited) 5 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: My guess is that the NDA may run until the end of his contract as a minimum. Working this logically, managers if sacked still get paid until their contract cessation in football so I’d imagine if Nige says anything before June 30th (assuming that’s when his contract ends) there may be repercussions. It's nothing to do with a NDA, Nige will likely be under terms defined in his Compromise/Settlement agreement. Lansdown is too shred a man to allow any sacked employee to speak ill of him/BCFC etc over any period of time. As part of Nige's severance, in the agreement there would have been clauses to say that he is not able to speak negatively about BCFC and its employees, else they can seek damages and the return of any settlement figure given. IMO, anyone expecting this to be a BCFC slagging match, is going to be highly disappointed. That is... unless Nige didn't agree to any sort of financial severance, nor sign any financial compensation package. If he didn't, then it could be guns loaded and ships ahoy....

To clarify, my point was that “technically” as he’s being paid his current contractual wage until it expires (as is normal for football managers when sacked unless they get another job at a higher or equal salary), he’s still bound by the terms of his prior contract, so my use of NDA was more around he’s being paid as if he’s an employee - so as you say, he can’t speak negatively about the club. My gut is that in view of the time left on contract (c9 months) and Nige being in relatively poor health at the time (so unlikely to get a new job for a period), he’s likely to still be on the payroll as opposed to coming to any kind of severance in order to have the guaranteed income - and at the end of the contract, other than commercially sensitive information, all bets are off.

My understanding is Nige wasn't put on Gardening Leave until the end of his contract, he was sacked. So, in employment law, if you sack somebody then the terms of their original contract are null & void because there isn't an employment contract bind. Any 'notice period' payment Nige currently has will highly likely be part of a brand new compromise/settlement agreement. A compromise/settlement agreement fully supersedes any original contract of employment. It is also likely that there will be other financial benefits in return for his 'silence', although it won't be explicitly stated in that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was offered a severence payment initially (post Leeds away) thought to be six months pay. But he turned it down knowing when sacked he'd get an extra month or twos pay on top of that.
