That’s rather worrying.

For once, I actually agree with Jordan.

He is beginning to talk sense now he has his head out of Levy's arse. Very worrying.

Yeah that isn't really how things work.

How long is garden leave in the UK?​

There is not set period of length for garden leave, but it could be part of your contract. The longer the period of proposed garden leave, the less likely a court is to enforce it in full. For example, where there is a two-year notice period, it is unlikely that an employer would be able to serve notice and place the employee on garden leave for the whole of that notice period.


There is recognition that businesses can protect themselves to a certain extent but not excessively. They have basically set out their stall that they want to use gardening leave to enforce it as if it's a non-compete clause.

By the summer of next year all Ashworth's work towards and knowledge of Newcastle transfer targets will be useless. Therefore it's not protection it's just non-compete.

"even where non-compete clauses are found in employment contracts, they may not necessarily be enforceable, unless a court considers that the non-compete clause is to protect a “legitimate business interest” and is no wider than reasonably necessary."

​

Let's imagine it was a non-compete clause.​

Therefore it would be wider than reasonably necessary.

Who on here cares, really? It's just funny seeing the tossers getting some back.

I remember the last Ipswich manager that the pundits and writers thought could walk on water, they even gave him Manager of the year in 2001 for getting Ipswich into 5th place. However, his "Emperor's new clothes" fell off the following season when they were relegated.

Same here me thinks. He rode the crest of the wave and will get buried at Utd under their "player power" regime!

I remember an Ipswich manager turning them down because he knew that the England job was calling. Bobby Robson. (Lawrie ‘I haven’t got a clue Graham’ McMenemy did too)
Now fingers crossed it could be the England manager who’s going there!

Well that's a marriage made in heaven. Fat Wayne and Plymouth, the home of Ginsters pies and pasties. ROUND BOY!

There's definitely something going on that we don't know about. An absolute mega-failure, a history of bad management behind him, yet he walks into another well-paid managerial position. Ratboy, Ginger Pig, Steve Bruce, Shrek - I wonder what it is they all have in common?

Plymouth have had enough of being in the Championship. They want to go back to Div 1.

I truly can't remember the last time a rag was deservedly picked for the England squad, probably Shrek in his prime, but that's pretty much it.

Wio certainly and currently possibly Shaw.

Was that George Burley?

Yes
