Don't think that went that way for Mourinho who had his entire contract paid up to the sum of £24 mil. Unless you're excluding Premiership? I think the Prem is different to the FL. Isn't it ever? Bloody Premiership, fed up of hearing about them. Money grabbing screw you lower league scum bastards. |

Did you read my post? I didn't say bring in a manager just give him to the end of the season. As other posters have already pointed out on the main GC thread what player is going to sign a contract with us for 18+ months when the manager himself only has a 6 months contract. At the end of the day if GC's got a 2.5 year contract with no get out clauses it will be the owners paying up if they have to sack him not the fans. Perhaps it also means they don't intend selling up anytime soon! Players only sign contracts if they think the manager is going to be at the club for full length? Seeing as the average tenure of a manager is about 18 months, why do players sign contracts for longer than that then? |

I think that it is good from the club as long as they have mitigated the risk if we were to go down (ie- a relegation release clause from the clubs side on the 2.5 years). If Coughlan keeps us up from the situation that we were in then In my eyes he has earned the right to have a crack at it longer term. BUT...I cant stop thinking back to 'that' DC interview where he said that there would be budget cuts over the next 12 months, and wondering if the board have used this as a cost cutting exercise... Think booting DC out and tucking £0.5m into his back pocket to see him on his way could hardly be construed as a cost cutting exercise |

Massive respect to him for doing that, he could've dug his heels in and got a fairly sizeable compensation package being 18 months into a 5 year contract that would have secured his financial position for him and his family but his affinity with the club and knowing the limited financial position it finds itself in, he agreed a mutual termination of his contract and walked for free. Will always get a big round of applause from me when he returns to the mem in the future. Legend. |

Having just listened to our new manager being interviewedit its a repeat of what DC told us before he departed. I fear the interview was written for him by the board. No
money being available and no long term plans.

It’s not really much different to the debate over contract lengths for players is it? If you give someone a long contract and they fail then it looks a poor decision, if you give someone a short contract then they leave for peanuts it looks like a poor deal.
This is what people seem to forget when we’ve lost players recently, it’s always easy to sit here and say what should or shouldn’t have been done in hindsight isn’t it?

I think it is standard in manager's contracts in the FL that they only receive one year's pay as severance. That is not bad at all when you compare it to normal practices in the workplace. Most manager's don't last two years, so to get one years pay is really quite good. I assume you've no links to back that up? I can't see DC allowing the club to tell the world he's got a 5 year contract when in effect it's just a 12 month rolling contract. |

I'm happy that GC has been given the job , but in my opinion it should have been to the end of the season and not a 2 and a half years contract. What happens if the unthinkable happens and we get relegated are they going to entrust GC to bring us straight back up? Most probably not , which means they will have to pay him off. Poor decision by the board . What happens if we go on to win the league, all looks good then. |

It good that there's at least one optimist contributing...I think if we're relegated the length of the managers contract will be the least of our problems |

Don't think that went that way for Mourinho who had his entire contract paid up to the sum of £24 mil. Unless you're excluding Premiership? I think the Prem is different to the FL. Really?😉 UTG! |
