Bobbys pay off

yeah he really 'got' Everton didn't he, got £millions in fact.

milked the club for all he could get. shameful carry on which makes Bilic look like a saint in comparison.
 

How anyone who can be so poor at their job and get rewarded with a massive payout is astounding and in turn if it's true rejecting outrageous amounts from China to choose a well paid and pretty prestigious job at international level showing he must be regarded as a decent manager puzzles me no end

I think we can lay that issue's blame squarely at the feet of Bill "what a manager!" Kenwright.
He's not an unlikable person, but he is egregiously disingenuous

To be fair, and certainly from a shareholder's perspective it's a collective failure of the board, the executive and legal teams to negotiate, draft and sign off a contract which in the face of it appears not to penalise the manager's early termination of contract through poor performance.

If it was entirely BK's responsibility then there's an even great corporate governance issue at stake.

After the very pro-Bill briefing in the Sunday Mirror last week, do you think that some form of revenge has been exacted by someone at the club in this story in the Daily Mail?

....^^^ deserved more attention than it got.

I'd say that's an extremely astute shout when you think of the mess that Moshiri got himself into in the summer. Using a friendly journalist to throw this issue out there and attempt to embarrass the old regime is classic flak tactics.

I'd be stunned if Moshiri isn't now having just about every contract re-examined for flaws and cock-ups...

As you said Esk, you can't blame Martinez for asking for and getting what was written into his deal.

We need to move on, he's gone and been/being paid off - let's get back to business in hand... continuing a decent start and (fingers crossed) positive activity on a new stadium.
 
Just another thing to add to the growing list of amazing work that Elstone and the other senior management do at Everton.
 
Shame that false promise of "I'll get you Champions League football" didn't void his contract.
Can't blame him for our chairman's stupidity I suppose but jesus, to think what he earned in the 3 years (2 of which were [Poor language removed]) he was here, the payout and spending 14 million on our worst ever signing.

Or, maybe, don't promise to pay out the remainder of the contract if it is terminated early. Add in performance related clauses that increase entitlement to a higher salary. Include minimum performance clauses to allow to get rid if not performing over x amount of games.

There are many things that are more attractive to use in the contract than a rolling one year contract, or a iron-clad 5 year contract with no 'get out of jail' clauses.

That all makes complete sense, however you're forgetting that we've been run by Bill Kenwright & Friends for the past 17 years and things that make sense don't matter
 

Still absolutely no evidence that this Mail/S*n story is true.

The club have said nothing and no reputable source has.

File under 'nonsense that serves a bigger purpose'....unless, of course, the Mail and S*n are our go to sources for the truth now?
 
To be fair people, bobby got that nice new contract on the back of his first season. We were worried he would be groomed for Barca or Arsenal at that time. Everton acted upon this and got him signed, if we hadn't and he did do well in year two and left for nothing to Barca, we would all be kicking off on the powers that be for losing our prized manager.

We got caught up in all the hype.

Equally so then there's been no official comment from the club about all these supposed signings we missed out on Dave. Does that mean those stories aren't true either?

Martinez has taken us to the cleaners on this one.

I don't like it but it is what it is. It's the club's fault for leaving themselves open like that. Reeks of Bill and his amateur dramatics unfortunately.
