ITS OFFICIAL!
And yes, I have a theory. I suspect at least one other person on here does too, since he shared that theory with me a week or two ago. But there is no way I am going to share that theory on a public forum, given the nature of it and the clear sensitivity of the circumstances as is evidenced by what PH and Connor say. Seems to me its time to move on.
If I am on the right lines (and I do not know, I am only making educated deductions) then PH has done the only thing he can do, and said pretty well the only thing he can say. And, don't forget, "strictly confidential" cuts both ways. It seems pretty clear (to me at least) that a Compromise Agreement must have been entered into (Connor hinted at that the other day anyway) and these invariably include confidentiality clauses. Indeed, they can often include the wording that the parties are allowed to use in any public statements. I've drawn up enough of the damn things in my time, and been involved in terminating enough people, to have some understanding of how it works. So anyone berating PH for not disclosing the circumstances is again too far removed from reality, I would suggest.
And I would put money on Toerag having come up with a tale, probably just before the deadline for his return, that changed the nature of the issue. Doubtless something new to the club - it would have to be, when you think about it. Whether that tale held water (or, more to the point, it might to others), and whether in turn that led to the circumstances of his release - well we have to go back to the theories again, I guess. Until the autobiographies come out, anyway.
