The next manager appointment (new thread)

[blulouie]

Lunacy was giving him a clause in his contract to pay him an extra years wages if we sack him. We actually financially incentivised him to do badly.

That has been dispelled many times , by Dyche himself too.

 

[PSB1]

Few other sources mentioned it as well. It's bonkers management.

Dyche denied this in a televised interview.

 

[jceverton]

So get rid, then. You can't possibly be advocating giving Sean Dyche £11m. Right?

No personally I'd sack him. I'm just making a theoretical argument that logically if you were keeping him it makes sense to actually get the financial incentives the right way round.

 

[CielosGrises]

Does the poll need updating ? Corberan and Conceicao are out of the picture I think.

 

[windymiller]

Yeah I think that would arguably be the issue.

I'm certainly no legal expert but that seems like a pretty straightforward one to me. Maybe somebody like @jazzy would know better.

 

[Blue peter]

‘You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain’ - the latter is a Dyche territory at the moment

This supposed clause in his contract that entitles him to a year's salary if we terminate his contract ?

Obviously I have no idea if the clause exists.

I guess you are asking if putting him on gardening leave and paying him until the end date of his contract would amount to constructive dismissal?

Well it could , undoubtedly.

However Dyche would have to sue us for breach of contract and we could tie him up in litigation for a couple of years which would delay any PSR implications and could persuade SD into taking a deal.

 

[jceverton]

Dyche denied this in a televised interview.

Non denial denial

 

[CielosGrises]

Hopefully contingency is being planned at the very least. Transfer window soon.

 

[marnie]

Gardening leave is cheaper than sacking him

That was exactly what I was asking. Thanks.

Please see the new New manager thread. Hopefully that one ends better.
