Foot Long Hot Dog
Player Valuation: A packet of pork scratchings
doesnt Pardew have some sort of proviso in his contract that if he's sacked he only gets 12months compo? I really recall reading that from multiple places. which would make that "he hoped Pardew would walk" redundant, no?
His contract reportedly has performance clauses in it, that he needs to achieve, but it's unclear if there's a 12 month compo clause, in fact there's reports that say it'd have to be paid in full & in return Newcastle would get the same value in compo should he be poached.
You have to remember that Pardew's stock was high at the time he signed that new deal, having greatly overachieved getting them into Europe & winning manager of the year.
In any case, even with a 12 month pay off clause, that's £1.5m. Pay pisshead Joe £250k to unsettle the beaut & save yourself £1.25m............
