Doomcaster's pay off

[whoareyou? 0]

How the hell did that idiot earn a £100k pay off? He is primarily responsible for the demise of this club and he gets rewarded for it!!!

What a stupid world we live in!

It''s called a contract, I''m quite glad we have those to be honest....

Contract or not, it''s totally wrong to reward someone for failure.

Is it any wonder the whole world is broke?

[Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424]

It''s not a reward is it? It isn''t like a bonus, but it is what was due to him under his contract. Unless his contracted stated something like "if we get relegated your contract will be terminated" then we have to pay him off. Simple employment law really.

Exactly dougie, and he wasn''t too bothered about his ''prudence'' policy when applied to himself either![:@]

Could have been a loyalty payment i.e. he was here for a number of years...

Ill never understand why football clubs dont protect themselves. Managers always always get pay offs when there sacked, and players get pay offs if contracts get terminated.Surely every club should have a clause in the contract automatically that if targets arent met then termination will arise and no payoff will be due. In the normal world of work has anyone ever been sacked cause they were underperforming in the job, and then received a nice payoff?

[/quote]Bloody hell id forgotten that, what a truly abysmal philosophy ''''

prudence with ambition '''' was. How contradictory is it? Were gonna be

ambitious and strive for success, but we will hold back a bit and not

really go for it 100%.Winners do whatever it takes, and

clubs take gambles to win. We never did anything like that and look

where we are. Prudence with spending yes, but Ambition should be

unreservedly embraced and undertaken.

All managers know that they will be sacked after a few years so make sure it is in their contracts, I actually think the LMA make it standard.To be honest, you should never be fired from work for not "under-performing" that is actually illegal unless it is specifically written into your contract. You can be sacked for more serious issues, but unless Jamie is stealing from the tills or looking up porn at Colney it would be hard to sack him for breach of contract, he is still able to play football, just not very well. This is like half the people I work with, they are able, just not very good at their jobs - but that is the companies fault for employing them.If you make contracts to strict, players/managers will go to other clubs who offer easier terms.

(Whoops pressed the wrong button and posted).[:$]Although I grudge Doomy every penny of his severance pay, I have to say it''s proven to be the best £100,000 spent by the club in many years.Good Riddance!!!
