My thinking is it’s come around too quickly for it be a sacking. Lawyers etc would surely have meant that dragging out for a while?
I don’t know, how could he argue against gross misconduct? The interview is hardly a secret and what defence has he got? Pretty obvious grounds for instant dismissal (coming from someone who isn’t an expert but does have an HR department reporting to me).
 
Do you think? Surely, like any job, normal employment laws are applicable and he has indeed been found guilty of gross misconduct. I think they may have conceded ground on the wording, but he was sacked and probably wasn’t owed anything in return.
I don't see how that interview would be grounds for misconduct or firing someone to be honest, genuinely.

He slapped them in the face but I doubt he'd leave himself open to someone like that. He made his position untenable which is what he wanted I suppose.

Could be a middle ground?

Scum told him they wanted to terminate w/ immediate effect, but to avoid any drawn out nonsense offered him £x (less than his contract's worth) to go quickly and quietly, Ronaldo's lawyers advised him to take it because he was in breach of contract and would get nothing if it went to tribunal?

Speaking Ill of your employer publicly is reasonable grounds for dismissal, especially when it can and will affect company reputation.
