What players will Poch bring with him

The trouble is how do you prove a gentleman's agreement as it's not written and seems to contradict the written contract.

But at the end of the day if he wants to go Levy can't really hold him up for long - it's just how much - then a gentleman's agreement to go would be important in terms of compensation.

That too..

At the end of the day if Poch *really* wants to join us, he will. Whatever the technicalities of the law actually are

Sure. By all accounts Poch manages to forge great relationships with the owners and executives. I suspect more than a release clause he would have signed on the understanding that if one of those three come in then Spurs at least be reasonable.

But either way, as you say, when a manager wants to leave for another club there really isn't much you can do.

Yes it's a breach of contract for which compensation would be due. That's it. Even if a court imposed a period of garden leave it would only be short. Levy would take the money.

You also said there was no legal basis to stop him leaving which was quite wrong.
