Club of player refers to the club that the player will be eligible to play for on the date specified. Loan deals count for this purpose, unless a player moves to a new club and is immediately loaned out, in which case we will settle on the club that has permanently signed the player.

Pre-agreed contracts with a future start date are ignored as the player is not yet eligible to play for the new club.

Bets are settled on the next permanent manager as announced by the club. Caretaker bosses and interim managers do not count for this market. In the event of the person appointed not being called manager then settlement will be based on the individual chosen to pick the first team.

Bets are settled on the manager who is in charge of first team duties on the specified date. This includes caretaker and interim managers, but does not include the director of football.

The end of the season is defined as the time when the league programmes, including any playoff matches, have been completed.

If no manager has left his position by the end of the last scheduled league fixture (including any playoff matches) then the No Manager to Leave option will be deemed the market winner.
