Fan suing the club

[bigmike]

What if there was a gagging clause and he's broken it. How would they stop him if they've already paid him?

by suing him for breach of contract

Yeah, because that's going to happen. The whole point of an out of court settlement is to avoid the hassle and publicity of a Court case. So they are hardly going to sue for breach of contract in those circumstances. Especially because it changes from beign a moron with a spurious case against the club, to a multi-million pound company suing an individual who is a fan of that company.

Talk about awful awful publicity.

I wasnt suggesting that the club should be suing him I was just answering how gagging clauses work

[Sarah Star]

Thanks, Mike. I didn't know how they worked, but Ian's got a point in that it would bring even worse publicity to the club and more hassle.

[Ian Royal]

I just don't see the point in gagging orders in such cases, they're essentially worthless as everyone knows they aren't going to be enforced with Court action.

[Rex]

Not in 'boro anyhow.

[Far from the royal crowds]

I bet on us to win against Man City, because McDermott convinced me we had a chance.

Can I now claim my bet back?

It'll cost them to come to Sydney if they want to defend themselves!

[Rex]

Stretching our defense too thinly that. Leaves.
