Carlo Ancelotti suing Everton?!!

[Bedfordblue]

To be fair, though, Carlo will also be well aware of the concept of a horse's head in his bed if he rubs our Russian benefactor up the wrong way.

Was going to post something similar, his wings may have been clipped with the sanctions but I’m sure he still has contacts around the world to help with his trickier ‘negotiations’

Indeed. Carlo will also be well aware of the concept of a horse's head in his bed if he rubs our Russian benefactor up the wrong way, so a settlement is on the cards...

Asmir Begovic's wife's horse had lovely leggings. Be terrible if anything happened to him.

Bet it’s something to do with the deferred wages during the Covid pause.

Papers saying it’s a tax issue on a £2m bonus we paid him.

If true, he’s a money grabbing get.

What assumptions?

He didn't resign. That is a fact. If he resigned Everton would not have needed to speak with Real Madrid about compensation.

The rest of my post is just opinion
; 1 that he would have happily forfeited bonuses (resigned) to ensure he got his move back to Madrid, and 2 that the club would have had him sign away any future bonuses before he was done with us.

That's why managers don't resign any more. When was the last time a Premier League manager walked away from the job? They're all picking up millions to be fired or the club is getting compensated by the club the manager wants to go to.

But you're right that none of us know. One assumption I will make is that it'll turn out to be an extremely amateur error on Everton's part.

Mate, your tirade was full of comments such as 'Surely wouldn't you think', 'he would have forfeited bonuses', 'and if we refused a mutual severance', 'if the club didn't sign anything'...

Every one an assumption, as you and I don't know any of that to be the case.

What do we know?

A tax issue, possibly, over a bonus payment, we're told now by those who 'might' know.

Expected it netto? So only got £1.2m instead of £2m…… apart from anything, what in gods name did he do to warrant a bonus

It’s a contractual obligation.
If you agree something you get paid on it.
The court will decide on the terms of the contracts. Pretty common in employment law

The irony.

The irony.

Ha ha. But it is dealt with in the terms of the contract. So yeah, he
Left, but the compansation amount and the any bonus terms would be a result of the contract.
It’s hard to pass comment unless it’s seen.

No wonder he got off to Madrid

Hello Mr Ancelotti. Oh I see you like Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, they're quite expensive......be a shame if something happened to them.

Didn't he get a Rolls-Royce Cullinan just as a gift for beating Spurs? I would like to think he was handsomely paid for the work he did and the fact he buggered off well before he should have with no compensation.

First impression: this looks like another dose of incompetence from our executive & board, because might have simply failed to live up to our end of the contract. Will be interesting to see what this is all about. Just because Carlo Ancelotti seems like a good man, doesn't mean he'll let go anything owed to him from a contract.

He quits, not sacked, goes to Real and yet we were still paying him...until the cheques started bouncing.

Yep, I can see that from us.

I'll get Tony to "take care of it ".

All I know is our board is incompetent, Carlo is not, so before anything happens in court I am 99.99% sure he's in the right
