Sacked Managers??

[MikeSB]

I see ManU have just sacked their manager. Its going to cost them a lot of severance pay as he is what just a third through his contract and so I repeat the same question again.

WHY do clubs sign managers and coaches for these long contracts when if they do poorly or not to expectation, they are face with multimillion pounds payoffs in compensation.

WHY don't they get ALL managers and Coaches to sign 6 month contracts renewable on performance?

ManU have paid tens of millions of pounds for sacking the last three managers when they could have paid a lot lot less. Question then becomes, why do clubs do this when they really don't have too..

Would you expect to stay in your job if you were useless after 6 months? Answer is obviously no..

IF all clubs did this, it would become the norm ie 6 months contract. They hardly expect managers and coaches to turn down ManU do they? Or any other PL club???

Its like playing football in the snow?

Sunbathing in May, June and July, is much more enjoyable than freezing your nuts off playing and watching football!

I ought to be the king regulator as I would sought all this stuff out!

We may have sacked all ours had that been the case??

Managers, like players, want some job security. So no manager worthy of the name would accept 6 months rolling contracts. It always fascinates me when people use the line "would you expect top keep your job if you were useless at it" and don't seem to recognise that football jobs are different from any career outside of sport which have so many variants. The only way you are likely to get sacked from an "ordinary" job is through some level of misdemeanor rather than incompetence unless, of course, you work for a bad company.

OK if you think that is so..

IMO football managers are no different than any other occupation and that if they are confident in their ability then they should have no problem in signing for 6 months rolling contracts. When I first went onto the railway staff, they informed me that it was for a probationary period of 6 months and then became permanent but it was always conditional of being able to do the job.

Not just that. In 6 months, PL managers would get a few million anyway and this ex ManU manager cost the club ie ManU £20m in compensation to his former club No wonder he has a smile on his face, with possible £20m in compensation? I think most of the ex managers got in excess of £10m from ManU and why imo the sport has gone to the dogs...

He did make me smile when he said his job was the manager, not the coach as that was someone else's job!

But all of these shambolic episodes occur where rich and powerful individuals take over a football club and treat it as their plaything. They haven't a clue how to do the job, just that their underlings should keep their mouths shut. These are the people who should be on 6 months contracts, not the hirelings further down the power/food chain.
