Everton embroiled in bitter contract dispute with Ronald Koeman and Netherlands

[GrandOldTeam]

Everton are embroiled in a bitter contract row with former boss Ronald Koeman - after it emerged that the Blues are effectively paying the bulk of the Holland manager’s wages in his new post.

The Blues made Koeman one of the Premier League’s highest paid managers when he was appointed on a three year contract worth £6m-a-year in June 2016.

He was sacked in October, following a disappointing start to the season, and appointed Holland’s national team coach in February.

But it has since emerged that his salary as Dutch coach is less than 10 per cent of what he was earning at Goodison, and under the terms negotiated following his dismissal Everton are making up the shortfall.

Played a blinder there hasn’t be. Few friendlies this year, feet up during the WC, tucking away 6 mill.

..it’s only money.

Saying that, I thought if a manager receives compensation in lieu of his contract when sacked, he has to return some if he gets another post. This sounds like we are still paying his contract.

Just think of all that money we've given to moonhead and now gravy slug. Be cheaper to bump them off

Nothing to see here surely - only sticking point seems to be the Dutch paying him thruppence a week and we think it should be more so we pay less.

Martinez did us and now Koeman is doing us.

Perhaps, someone should properly read these contracts we're handing out to managers.

Wtf. what utter clown negotiates our contracts!?

How does koeman fail so badly while looking like he couldnt care less and be paid millions by the employer he failed and continue to draw a wage from us!

Bet sam n steve cant wait to be sacked.

Giz a job please mosh

Are we on crack? Throwing money at people doesn’t work, this has been proved 100 times over.

I’m sure we’ll be paying Allardyces’s pension, his great great grandchildren’s tuition fees and for his favourite kebab house owners holidays after we sack him.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

No problem with it myself. Everton signed the contracts, if they're dumb enough to not include any clauses in them then the managers should rightly take them for all they can.

Now when Sam goes in the summer he'll have pocketed 3m for his work between Christmas and June, and will get another 4-5m as a severance package to take into account the remaining year of his deal. Close to 10m for managing us for 20 games.

Then we need to deal with Sammy Lee, Shakespeare, et al, so another few million on top. And of course not forgetting a sign-on bonus for the next manager.

Yet another reason why our club is utterly incompetent.

So who's to blame for our terrible contract writing?

There must be no form of performance review written into the manager contracts if this has happened again.

Amateur stuff indeed.
