To be fair Michelle’s story about Butler’s contract doesn’t really add up, surely if the chairman offers you the managers job you don’t just take it without one especially as it was during close season when he would have looked for something else without that certainty.
Nice story all the same and got her off the hook when everyone one was in dismay, whether true or not.
I’d imagine, as he was already employed and presumably had some sort of employment contract, and presumably as they all trust each other, he was appointed as team manager and they all just carried on working until they got round to sorting a new ‘manager’ one out.
Or, if not that, then perhaps it was all in the hands of solicitors or agents or some other kind of rep, and back and forth over fine details.
