I hope the accord is that it goes to arbitration and if, by some miracle, Gibson wins then Mel donates to charity.

Otherwise, Gibson makes the charitable donation.

I sincerely hope that Mel has not paid the chancer or his club a penny.

As much as this is rooted in a personal spat, I still imagine Gibson wanted to win so Middlesbrough could recoup the compensation. I'm assuming the accord is still relating to a claim on behalf of Middlesbrough FC.

I would be very surprised if there is any payment 

It doesnt matter either way, the issue is behind us now, if I never hear the words Claims, Middlesbrough and Steve Gibson used in the same sentence again, it will be too soon ? 

Lets move onto the next set of issues and forget about "Whats his name" from Teeside

Accord - An agreement that settles a dispute, generally requiring an obligee to accept a compromise or satisfaction from the obligor with something less than what was originally demanded. Also often used synonymously with treaty.

Suspect that word was chosen deliberately. I assume here Mel was obligor. 

Either way, this seems to be great news and on a Friday too

Maybe the 'accord' is to agree to a bare-knuckle fight, in a cage, at half-time.

How about Claims, Wycombe and Rob Couhig?

"Accord on a resolution" made it sound to me like they might not have all the details thrashed out, but they have enough sorted out to know that the club and/or its new owner won't be liable. 

And frankly, that's all I care about. If Mel's having to pay Gibson £100million and hand-wash his car every week, so be it. Don't care. Let get the club sold and move on. 

(PS I suspect we'll find out a lot more via inevitable leaks to journalists, sooner or later.)

Agreement is Gibson named preferred bidder for £3.50.
