Unless there was a clause in TP's contract with Palace saying he had to remain with the club for X period of time after getting his £2 million bonus, I don't see how repayment of it is enforceable.

Palace claimed the bonuses were dependent on the manager staying until the first competitive game of the following season - against Arsenal on August 16 - but he left two days earlier ‘by mutual consent’.
