If Sony are joint sponsors they can disregard the contract too.”
Just to reiterate what has already been mentioned
1 - simon owns Syco
2 - Simon does not own a label
3 - Simon works for Sony/BMG
4 - Simon said He will only sign the winner
5 - The winner must be signed to Sony/BMG as Simon works for them.
6 - The runner up will only be signed within 3 months if Simon releases the runner up from contract
7 - if he release the runner up - he will be (potentially defrauding the GBP).
So as the contestants are contracted to Syco, sony cannot make the decision. That lies with Simon. He will only release them from contract if he is able to find a water tight excuse to the comments he has already made regarding them not being signed.
