Leeds and Blackpool settle Grayson dispute
Leeds United and Blackpool have settled their dispute over Elland Road boss Simon Grayson - though neither side will disclose the details of their agreement.
United were facing allegations that they broke Football League rules in appointing Grayson as their new boss on December 23, hours after he resigned from the manager's post at Blackpool.
Blackpool were believed to be seeking around £200,000 in compensation for Grayson, and the case has been settled after a Football League disciplinary tribunal held in Manchester today.
No details of the verdict have been made public, and a joint statement from the two clubs stated that "no further comment shall be made be either parties".
United chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "We are delighted the matter is now resolved and Simon can concentrate on the work he has started in seeking to get the club promoted.
"We wish Blackpool well for the future."
