Tell them as soon as possible that you won't be persuing the contract further, as you've had a better offer. Since you've not got a confirmed start date, you are not breaching any agreement.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

You've agreed it but not signed it. That's exactly what Roy Keane's situation was with Blackburn before he moved to United. He'd verbally agreed a move with Dalglish but Fergie managed to get in touch with him and persuade him to go to Old Trafford instead. Without a signed contract, it just means that you've got an angry agent. Win-win some would say.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

So confused. Did client/agent give you a start date or are they waiting for you to confirm the date?
Different. I'd have said, if you were waiting for the its different and all bets are off.
Either way agent and client are going to be pissed off but they'll get over it.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by CoolCat View Postif you have agreed everything but start date, and want to back out, simply push for a start date of say April 2035... they will be unlikely to hold you to the contract even if they could enforce itComment
