because....

...they told him he could speak to us, but that the clubs would have to come to an arrangement before he could leave.

But he then jsut resigned and joined us without that happening.

I don't think there's any dispute about this - we were told we couldn't appoint him without coming to an agreement over compensation with them first. But we did.

Which is why we'll (hopefully just) be fined.
