He has 60 days in which to find a new sponsor, or switch into another immigration category.

can i possibly ask you the name of the company that did agree to offer ur friend a sponsorship letter for a tier 2 visa to begin with? all the companies i've been offered jobs by dont sponsor even if they are registered as sponsors on the ukba list.
any help would be much appreciated

There is no loitering for settlement category. There is work, there is study, there is partner leading to settlement. There are many others so he needs to look at the UKBA information and see what is suitable to his circumstances; that's not something strangers on a forum can know or suggest.
