PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Saw this in the gossip column on BBC this morning before work and was wondering if this is true? (the contract part) "0957 GMT: Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford has been linked with a summer move to Everton, who are reported to have agreed a pre-contract with the striker, whose contract expires at the end of the season. However, Whites manager Simon Grayson said: "Pre-contract agreements aren't binding so both parties could pull out at any time. If he bangs in another 20 goals, there might be bigger teams than Everton coming in for him." (Press Association)" Because if it is then FM is wrong and needs to be changed in order to do so? Maybe we could turn somebodys head maybe if we somehow let the player slip through the net?

Edle Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 i dont see the point in having a precontract agreement if they arent binding so im not going to believe that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomer Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It might well be the case that there's a fine of sorts if one of the parties does deicde to not go along with it. It seems a bit weird otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee_Simpson Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 This is indeed true. A pre-contract agreement is only really a verbal agreement between the two parties. My team (Hearts) had a pre contract agreement with a player last year and although he did sign, his club where still trying to persuade him to stay even though he had already agreed to the move.
