No mate. Many managers contracts include performance clauses that can activate an agree payoff if they aren't hit.

Mourinho's contract at Chelsea had him on paid gardening leave for up to 12 months, which would end if he got another job.

This is ultimately the clubs fault for not being strong enough in the negotiations when they put the new contract in front of him. There should have been performance clauses and agreed notice periods within the 5 year deal.

No one on here knows the in and outside of his contract. If that's what he's owed that's what he's owed.

The important thing is, he's not our mangers anymore, but people will just use this as yet another stick to beat the club with.

It's £10m, absolutely nothing in football nowadays, if that's what we pay to get rid of him for good, it is what it is.

Not my money anyway.

Jeez!! Who care what he said in pressers, the ONLY thing that matters is what was written on the paper that both parties signed.

Im not questioning his contract, whats written or that he is entitled to the money...just saying that when writing up the contract in the first place why not reduce the cost of failure with clauses such as this, makes a lot of sense to me
 
I would be shocked if every single football manager job interview didn't start with "How much will you pay me if I get sacked?"

That's how it works in that business. You sign your contract, you get sacked, you take your compo

Pretty much a complete non-story this that serves only to anger people's blood

Yes, really!

Compare the squads that the respective managers were dealing with at the time. I never agreed with the 'best squad in 30 years' hyperbole, but it was streets ahead of what Walker and Kendal we're dealing with in the 90s. Martinez also overseen our worst home record in our entire history, and there were periods during his last two seasons where we were performing worse than the corresponding periods in 93/94 etc. Add in the fact that his sides were absolutely atrocious at defending, the fact that he was too lazy to practice set pieces during training, and the fact that he spoke an inordinate amount of guff on a daily basis, then you have Everton's worst ever manager.

I thought Kendal did a decent job in keeping us up given the state of the club in 97/98.

Well you probably would act lawlessly if you knew your entire contract was going to be paid up if sacked.

And for anyone who says yeah well its a standard clause - having your entire contract paid in full in the event of sacking really isn't - take for example Moyes when sacked from Utd - 6 year contract signed - I think he got paid 1 years compo when fired.
 

One thing for certain is that if Moshiri hadn't bought the club we would have had at least 2 more years of Bobby. Shudder to think, we would have been absolutely decimated by the end of it, think last scene of Platoon for some scale... All hail Moshiri, can someone pass on my extreme thanks please. Ta :)

In a way it IS your money...In a way it's all of our money.
Anyway silly money in football or not it's well more that 10M.

Lets tot it all up

9M wages
10.5M compo
13.5M Niasse
12.5M Wages for 5yrs

I make that 45.5M

to add insult to injury that will be just about the profit Kenwright will trouser when (if) Moshiri finally buys him out...and (hypothetically) did the money to buy those shares come from debt loaded on to the Club...which the Club is still/may be paying off.

yeah but he's one of us...he's one of something alright.

Chatting wham per usual. Yes he oversaw the worst home record in our history...but he also oversaw one of our best records. He is nowhere near our worst manager. He wouldn't have the fifth best winning percentage if he were that bad.

But hey ho you also are adamant that 5th is mid table...
