Club statement just released

[Brin]

Thing is about new contracts for Managers, it's all now changed. If they get sacked they do not get the full pay off of remaining years left on their contract. There is a minimum of 6 months to one whole year. This is now common practice between clubs and Managers.

The 'golden' handshake is long gone so, it is indeed a big gamble for any Manager to move clubs when there is no rainbow at the other end should they fail in their task.

Well from what I’ve read Tom Lawrence is the highest paid player on 1.4m a year and manager is paid more. On that basis assuming 1.5m for Warne that’s a 6m contract so if unsuccessful that’s a great pension pot!

Why is manager paid more?

As far as I was aware Tom Lawrence signed for Glasgow Rangers? UTM

Hope that's same with players! We have some on 3 year contracts who could be surplus to next manager.

When you see Kelle Roos on 16K/week then there's no wonder they were/are in financial trouble. It wasn't hard last season for their manager to be higher paid than the players as Rooney was reportedly on 125K/week under the sponsorship deal.

Come on sota, we've known one another for a long time and I dont see what PW's long term gain would have been staying with us.
PW and his management team are constantly trying to improve players and get them to believe they can better themselves and play for better/bigger clubs at a higher level, but psychologically the same has to apply to him, or any manager who wants to succeed.
Ironically, some on here thought PW could have taken us further, but when I asked them to explain how he could do that under the current financial constraints of the chairmen, not one of them got back to me.
Regardless of what happens to PW at Derby, he would have been a complete bottler to turn the job down, and as I've said on another thread I think he will be brilliant for Derby and I wish him well. UTM

Yeah, can’t argue with that Ronners.

Surely the get paid or not has to be in the contract when it was signed Brin, because if you me or anyone else for that matter, signed a contract to work for someone and the company terminated it, then it would be in that contract as to what payment would be required? UTM

Usually it’s a compromise agreement.

ie a payoff amount is agreed and other stipulations are built in. One of those for example might be that the manager leaving doesn’t talk to the press about why he left. In industry there might be a clause about not working for a competitor within a certain period. Other agreements might include keeping health plans going, keeping the company car etc

Basically it’s horse trading
