no, but he could have paid his way out of it. If he had two years left, he might have been able to pay the €800,000 and go.Quote:

Very magnanimous of Hunt, seeing that Staunton wouldn't play him when it was obvious to everybody that he should be starting.Quote:

I think you need to read your own definition again. Here it is, with the point you haven't understood in bold:
directing and controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of coordinating and harmonizing that group towards accomplishing a goal.
Staunton had charge of the team for that purpose. And he tried to move the team towards accomplishing that goal. Thus, by your own definition, he managed the team.
I'm done with this; if you think he broke his contract, try your luck in court. Good luck with that.
Ok, will do, I've got nothing better to so with my time. zzzzzzzzzzzQuote:
