Mr Caspar Glyn QC (instructed by Mishcon de Reya LLP ) for the Defendant. Judgment Mrs Justice Whipple: I. Introduction 1 The Claimant was the Director of Football of the Defendant football club from 10 July 2014 until his dismissal on 26 January 2015. The Claimant claims the sums specified in his contract of employment (the “Contract”) as falling due on termination without notice. In the alternative, he claims damages for wrongful termination. He also claims for salary, expenses and accrued holiday pay due at the date of dismissal. 2 The Defendant denies the claim. The Defendant contends that it was entitled to dismiss the Claimant summarily. The Defendant wrote to the Claimant on 26 January 2015 saying he was dismissed with immediate effect “ as a consequence of serious misconduct by you that have brought the Club into an unbearable situation, as well as the breaking by you of the good faith principle underlying the employment contract” . No explanation was given in that letter or at that time. 3 The Defendant now contends that its reason for dismissing the Claimant, at that time, was the discovery of the Claimant's overspending on players and failure to admit to that overspending when questioned.

Brooks, Chris Markham, Tom ̈ RECEIVED : 13 JANUARY 2013 ̈ ACCEPTED : 11 MARCH 2013 Abstract This paper analyses the 53 managerial sackings and resignations from 16 stock exchange listed English football clubs during the nine seasons between 2000/01 and 2008/09. The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.

    File: BMD Tony Reeve and Philip Coates Duration: 0:42:38 Date: 05/08/2016 Typist: 685 START AUDIO Tony Reeve: My name is Tony Reeve, I am 63 years old and I have supported them since 1960 or 1961. Philip Coates: My name is Philip Coates, I am 64 and like Tony I have been supporting them since 1961 or 1962. Interviewer: What made you start supporting Stevenage? Tony Reeve: I have always liked football as a boy. My father brought me the first time in the ‘60s and I just caught the bug from there and carried on watching them. Philip Coates: I think roughly the same. My dad brought me along to the first few matches and as I lived in Stevenage I thought, “I will support Stevenage.” Like Tony I like watching football, it was in me to watch it. Tony Reeve: We both live behind the stand here really, so we are both local. 1 Philip Coates: We are very local. Tony Reeve: It is a five minute walk to the ground. Interviewer: So you have seen the ground change over the years then. Philip Coates: Oh yes. Tony Reeve: Well in the early days it was covered with stones when they first made it and they asked for volunteers to come and pick stones from the pitch. Every game they had there used to be players with blood pouring from their legs because of the stones really. Today you wouldn’t believe that was the same pitch, you just can’t believe it. Philip Coates: The pitch now is like a billiard table, but years ago when it rained the water wouldn’t drain away at all.

But we recovered thanks to our steely determination; a feature of the Club’s commitment that has remained ever since. In 1937/38, we gained Promotion to what we currently call ‘The Championship’ but after a couple of games it was disrupted again by World War II. Again though, tremendous loyalty saw us re-established. In 1948/49, we reached the 5th Round of the FA Cup, away against Portsmouth, who won the old 1st Division League Title that season and the next! Their International stars were confronted by the passion that our Club has shown on so many occasions in our 115-year history. We came extremely close to winning, but lost 3-2 through them scoring their winner five minutes from the end of injury time. Difficulties in the 1960’s were always overcome. Indeed, we beat 1st Division, Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. 1972/73, we thought we were promoted; due to the Radio announcing a score wrong! We lost out on the narrowest of goal averages.
