The contract starts when there is an offer, acceptance and consideration. In this particular instance there will be no consideration from either party as Donald will not be offering his playing services and Leeds will not be paying him.



Thus, there is no contract. It has been rendered void.



Making the situation both legally and morally a whole different ball game to the Eastwood situation.



HTH.

Hummm - there was a former poster of these boards (who swore never to return) who used to refer to Donald as a chancer too.
