Bobbys pay off

[ilikecheese]

well yerh, but surely people under contract fired for malpractice generally don't get payoffs

I doubt wakefield got a payoff

You are trying to create a completely different narrative. Fact: Martinez signed a contract. Fact: It paid him loads of money. Fact: He gave us a 2 mil discount for a lump sum payout.

He coulda gone for 12.

If the club had sacked him earlier we would have improved our league position payments and had a very good shot at the cup to get into Europe to offset the cost of the bungling Bill contract.

I guess that loan we took out will be drawn down on as well now to pay of this fella....nice.

Nothing will be the same.

Where does this rank in terms of other manager's payouts?

I think Mourinho got £15m-£20m for being sacked by Chelsea in 2007.

Rafael got £6m, iirc.

Can't think of many other huge sums like this one, though.

...different world those fellas live in, it is what it is.

Another example of the mismanagement of the club.

I'm more than happy missing out on the likes of Sissoko if it means sorting our finances out once and for all.

This is obviously why he got the Belgium job, will have took it on for peanuts knowing we are giving him a huge payout for the rest of his contract so does not need a salary from Belgium.

kenwright wants shooting at dawn for this really

This, nothing more needs to be said. The parasite continues to drain money from the club.

 

[Dylan]

He deserved 6 months pay tops like any normal job. Still well worth the money to get rid of the utter clown though.

No. He deserves what was contractually obliged.

Simple as that. Aim your ire at the people who saw fit to draw up such a ridiculous contract.

HAHAHA, really? The Belgian FA chose him because he was cheap? Rightyho.

This told you how badly run the club was under the guidance of Kenwright. Why did Kenwright give this ridiculous fat contract to Martinez when he was 1 year into his orginial 4 year contract? Another thing is why didn't Kenwright add performance based causes into Martinez's new contract? This is unbelievable and Moshiri now paid the fraud of the highest order £10m! Interview skills made the fraud a billionaire.

Step one - remove Kenwright .

Step two - remove Elstone.

I did read to be fair that he was on a performance related contract with Belgium.

 

[MikeH72]

I think I detest him more than anyone else in football

 

[l4toffee]

Fair play to the slimey beaut . He has bumped us well and truly . The Hatton garden robbers should look at Martinez to see how pull off the ultimate robbery .

Lol, in that case he won't last long
