Everton embroiled in bitter contract dispute with Ronald Koeman and Netherlands

[Big Fat Sam]

1 tenth of BMD right there

Here's a bit more.

25m + 75k a week over 3 years Klaassen = 37m
27m + 70k a week over 3 years Bolasie = 38m
20m + 70k a week over 3 years Schneiderlin = 31m
5m + 75k a week over 3 years Sandro = 17m

Its about time these numpties changed the terms of these contracts. There are not many jobs around where you can get sacked for being crap at your job but yet still get paid every single penny for not being there that you would have got had you been there for another 2 or 3 years or whatever was originally agreed. It is absolute insanity. Crap means crap as in not good enough to deserve to be employed or paid any further which by its very definition should be a termination of contract and go and find another job and do better at it so you can get paid again.

Same thing happened with Martinez too. Ended up being better off sacked than employed.

I can see how managers get large severance pay-offs, but its madness to sanction add-ons in contracts for when managers move on to new posts. Surely if someone gets the sack/"has contract terminated" then the payoff should be the end of story. Clearly Koeman's legal eagle ran rings round our one with this one. Or someone at the club didn't photocopy that bit/the printer had hardly any toner in etc etc.

As I have said before.

Best job in the world, is top level football management.

Failure is rewarded more lucratively than success.

It’s a double whammy this, innit.

Didn’t we have to pay Palace some compo for the dubious privilege of hiring Sam?

How Everton is that?

Paying out for two total chancers at the same time.

Well when we signed Koeman, many thought it the right move and we had to "tempt" him to come to Everton and manage, hence the high wages. A bit dumb to have no performance standards in the contract or linked KPIs but in all honesty he had a larger choice than us at the time. One of which was to stay where he was.

When Allardyce - The Saviour - was installed, we had become the laughing stock of the world and we had to give that gargantuan flapper a deal to "tempt him" out of retirement. We had very little choice and were right royally shafted by our Saviour and his entourage.

The market determines wages, especially when we are less than an attractive proposition. City went through all the same rubbish when they got money, mercenary players on mega-bucks, mercenary incompetent managers on mega-bucks - they've ended up okay, of course with the backing of a whole country to support them.

Meanwhile, we have to scrape around for monies to build a stadium and build another team of high-profile players to "take the next step" - Dontcha just hate footballing clichés, we have become one ourselves. Vying for the top 6 - ugh!

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.

£600k a year. Sounds about right for the Dutch FA to me.

We're the mugs here as we agreed the contract in the first place. I'd assumed we paid it up when we sacked him but it looks as though the agreement was to honour it.

What's the score with Martinez pay off? Presumably he has to pay back any earnings he gets from the Belgian FA during the period he would have been under contract to us.

Martinez as I understand it had a pretty bullet proof contract so had to be paid out in full on his sacking - after negotiation it was reduced by a bit, but there was no claw-back clause. One off payment in the accounts.
Koeman is being paid the balance between what he would have earned with us and what he actually earns, so if he earns 600k, we have to top up to 6mil.
No lawyer, but I suppose there would be an argument that if historically the Dutch paid say 2 mil, why the sudden decrease?
May be totally wrong though.

I cant imagine Danny Blind would have been on massive wages.

Neither can I mate, was just illustrating a point (badly)

I agree. But I can't see the Dutch FA paying out that much. £600k seems about right to me as I said.
