To the OP Question: The whole self-interest footballer / PFA salary sacrifice farce left a bitter taste in the mouth and I expected to lose interest... However I'm finding myself enjoying the return of football.... #shallow

Black Lives Matter on football shirts

Me. I never realised before now how much I used the player shirt names to identify the players. Between that and the piped crowd noise drowning out the commentators, I'm thoroughly confused

We had a succession of good managers over a period of many years who all contributed to what was being built and ultimately the success we enjoyed...

Flynn
Jacket
Martinez
Sousa
Rodgers
Laudrup

They all added something positive to the journey - Laudrup arguably harnessed that and achieved something remarkable during those 18 months.

Compare that group to what happened afterwards...

Monk
Guidolin
Bradley
Clement
Carvahal

Squandered potential as the owners shifted their priorities from what made us great to their own self interest.

Thankfully stopped the rot with Potter and now Cooper. Back to basics.

So - the americans and their friends spent £68M to buy the club so that they could give jobs to Pearlman/Birch etc. So assuming that's £1M a year in salaries they take out - at 50% tax, that would take 136 years of salaries to recoup what they spent (and that's assuming Birch/Pearlman etc pass on their salaries back to owners...)

Seems a pretty inefficient and ineffective way to recoup their spend.

Any spend that's of a level that would even look at recovering their £68M would stand out like a sore thumb in the numbers.

The devils in the detail.

If the offer was conditional and the formal reason for withdrawing the offer was (validly) against one of the conditions, then he’s stuffed.

If the offer was unconditional then he can sue for breach of contract. Get advice from the CAB

Most contracts have probationary periods baked in that have more limited notice periods. He should check the details around this in his contract as that’s likely to be the extent of any outcome.
