He clearly didn’t walk. He was “ approached by our Chairman on Friday” , and then the negotiations for payoff etc began .
He says .
"The board and I agreed that there is a clear difference in the vision and direction for this beautiful club and, with that in mind, the decision was taken.”

While he made many mistakes he at least appeared to have an inkling of a vision and knowledge about football.
Does anybody really think that suddenly all our woes are over and that Kenwright and the rest of the Board have a different and better vision and direction than Brands?.

You don’t normally get paid off for resigning. He’s getting £1.5 million. Even if that is ‘hush’ money, he could have walked away and lifted the lid on his terrible time not being allowed to do his job. Instead he takes the cash and stays quiet, much like his tenure at Everton.

We can all speculate but the "official" line from both Brands and the club was it was a mutual decision.

Obviously that could be saving face on both parties behalf to be seem as being amicable but until the facts come out we have to go with the official line.

Although I imagine as soon as he got involved with that fan in the stands and said "is it just the players?" that was it for him.

I think a few posters here are a bit naive. An NDA would have been written into Brands contract regardless of manner of departure, and I'm sure there's a non compete time limited cluase in there as well. So he won't be at Newcastle in January for example.

The fact is contracts are written by lawyers. Lawyers are competent at their jobs, even the ones Everton engages.

NDA’s and non compete clauses in contracts are legally very flimsy when said contract has been terminated. The NDA will be linked to the terms of his severance pay and he won’t want to pay that back, making it more robust.

Because they are talking about what happened behind the scenes (as fact) then come out with a line about "he would have chosen a manager like potter" which is a guess, unless Brands used those words. It is just nonsense.

He may well have used those words off the record, or it may be known that Brands approached Potter's agent in the summer or whatever. It isn't quite as black and white as you're making it sound there

No, the contracts themselves were fine.

The incompetents on the board signing off on them - Ancelotti not being forced to have a break clause for example - is the issue.

So the contracts are not fine.
They are supposed to act on the basis of their client as well as legislation.

How can any lawyer put a contract forward on representation of the club which doesn't protect the club.
 
Incompetence from our lawyers for example would have had Ancelotti walking out the door for free....but with the club under the impression that there was a clause in there entitling them to compensation.

There was no such clause, because Ancelotti wouldn't sign a deal that featured such a clause. Moshiri then went ahead and employed him anyway.

That's not incompetence by lawyers, that's our owner acting like a total naif.
