I wouldn't take too much notice of the compensation argument .
That would only come into play if the manager is still employed at the club , which was the case when we took Page from Port Vale .
If the manager has left , I doubt very much that would affect his compromise agreement . They just get double bubble .
That's certainly the way it works in the non football related world .
Personally , I wish JED well . He needs to learn from his mistakes though .
Maybe he would like to take some of the players he signed in the summer with him ?
I always thought they took around half of the remaining contract and became free agents. If they were paid the whole term then clubs would insist they didn't work for the rest of the contract time. Two or three years is a long time to be out of football even if you're getting paid for it.
