TWell numbnuts, let me explain it for you, I'm sure you've been too busy whipping yourself into a frenzy with your GT love doll, that you've missed one basic FACT.
Thomas recieved every cent of his contractual payments.
His contract had a clause inserted in it that stated his services could be terminated at anytime without any financial obligation.
This clause was inserted by the board AFTER Thomas himself tried to negotiate a $500,000 bonus into his new contract if he coached a premiership, the board declined and made it $500,000 in the second year if you coach two premierships and then inserted it's own performance based clause in response.
Thomas signed off on that, so he was not entitled to one cent of 2007, his services were terminated and in his contract, that he himself signed, it clearly states, that is services can be terminated at any time without any further financial re-numeration, do you get it, his services can be terminated and he is not entitled tro a payout for the duration of the initial length of the contract.
This was never what it was about, so it is not amazing or mystifying that this basic fact has escaped your attention.
Thomas himself was only suing for the $100,000 of hush money that should never have been offered by Butterss in the first place and holiday pay that Thomas himself signed a stat dec stating, he wasn't owed any holiday pay.
Got it yet?
He recieved his full contractual entitlements in agreeance with what Thomas himself signed.
But I'm sure this goes over your and many other people's heads.
