    But don’t hold your breath as she had been hinting for a while

    I doubt very much she will spill anything, she is far too professional. She might be indulging in a worrying them. My guess is if she had no integrity and decided to spill the beans, I doubt the club would take her to court. Now that really would washing your dirty clothes in public.

    Not enough detail would be my estimation.

    I cannot see someone being prevented from ‘seeking’ employment, whilst on ‘Gardening’ Leave. If that were the case, it could be several weeks between the conclusion of the ‘Gardening’ Leave and JM then gaining a fresh post. During that spell, he would have no income from employment. I agree that it would be improper to commence any alternative work, unless the former employer agreed to waive restrictions.

    If she will not say anything then she should drop it rather than hinting she is going to.

    Either put up or shut up

    Perhaps, just perhaps she has a ‘bidding’ war between say the Keighley News and the T&A for her story! :zippy:

    'Seeking employment' is a bit like renewing your car.
    You tend to find a replacement before jettisoning your only personal means of movement.

    However, in JM's case - If his Gardening Leave has no actual date of closure, then finding a suitable position would be difficult.
    One way for fans to understand the process better would be to Google Acass, and read their views. ? :)

    Gardening leave only generally extends for the employees notice period (given he resigned in June, I would imagine that notice period has probably expired - it's unusual for it to be more than 3 months).

    After someone leaves a place of work, it is possible to have people agree non-compete/restraint of trade agreements (usually for a fee). These absolutely have to have an end date or are deemed void for uncertainty and thus unenforceable. It also has to be drafted very specifically and not generally prevent the individual gaining other employment (other than in a specific narrow field of work).

    If it's not a non-compete but a more straightforward confidentiality agreement then the rules are slightly different and it will depend on the specific way "Confidential Information" is drafted in that agreement (which typically excludes information which is already in the public domain - meaning he would not be in breach by commenting on things that are public knowledge).

    All in all I suspect James is not saying anything because he is a man of integrity that loves the club rather than any specific legal obligation to do so.
