When he refused, he was left unpaid for a month.
During the case, Bourhill made references to issues with Oyston's daughter Natalie. He called her "unprofessional" which is said to have caused tension with her family.
This January, he said he tried to tell directors of concerns that the company was trading while insolvent. It was then that he was told of his dismissal.
