Looks like he got a pay off from the CET for unfair dismissal...

I see he's going for the hipster look now.

Be interesting to see what else he might wish to report if he's free from gagging orders (insert joke here).

Interesting.

I don;t know what to make of it, mind(!) but interesting...

Whatever the rights and wrongs of his case, the aftermath sadly highlights the 'me, myself and I' culture so often played out in social media nowadays.

In his defence, if he's been 'wronged' in the work place, he has every right to portray evidence to show he's been unfairly treated.

So we've now gone from award to multi award winning just shows the lack of decent journalists around at the moment!

Fair play to him. He has had a lot of stick from people (on here especially) for trying to tell the truth. I Think he was certainly 'wronged' in the workplace and lot of it had to do with his then employers and our beloved council. As there's no gagging order I think might make interesting reading if he goes public with what really went on with the club and the council and the telegraph.

Seems pretty clear now something went on. Will be interesting to see what, if anything, comes out in the next few weeks.

I thought that this forum was a bastion of justice; surely Reid can look forward to be idolised again by the majority?

I should think they settled out of court and he got a wedge with conditions

What sort of conditions? It appears there's no gagging. This is strange as I thought the a CET was the basis of a lot of people's morals.

Surely the gagging order would have been about his time at the CT not anything he wanted to write. He doesn't work for them and hasn't for a long time. Surely he was free to write what he wanted to write about CCC or anyone else for that matter the moment he was no longer employed by the CT.

Not if there was a tribunal.
