buctootim Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 Saints should pay the full value of his contract up without quibbling. What is there to argue about? he was doing a good job when he was sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 It would be great if a club want NA's services so much they will pay his compo to get him earlier. NC could string it out for months. I hope NA gets a good job and salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC Chris Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 This is how most sackings are done now. Relieved of duties, placed on gardening leave and continue to be paid until the earlier of the contract ending, or finding a new job. I'm sure there was a big thing about this regarding Tony Mowbray's dismissal from Celtic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 Not surprising at all given that it is pretty standard practice. Yep. Nothing exceptional here. Nigel will still be getting paid in the mean time, will be sure to be paid off handsomely (albeit not to the full amount of the remainder of his contract) when terms need to be agreed so that he can talk to another club. If Leeds really want him then they will have to talk to both parties. Maybe the issue here is that they cannot afford to pay any kind of compensation to Saints for a man who is essentially still under contract.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 Before the usual planks start piping up, how about for once taking your heads out of your backsides, and realising this is entirely standard. There are dozens of examples in recent times of managers still being on gardening leave after leaving once post, before moving into another.

Winchester Red Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 (edited) It's actually normal at every club. He's still being paid his monthly wages, he's just not being asked to do any work. Nobody ever pays up the whole of the remaining contract, as much for cash flow considerations as any other. There's always a deal to be done Also, I'm sure we won't be after any compensation for releasing him from the contract. We'll just be looking to avoid paying some of the wages. It's good business when you think about it. If not Managers would sign a contract, then get sacked, get fully paid up, then get anther job, and make a killing.

brmbrm Posted 22 February, 2013 Share Posted 22 February, 2013 ********. get a ferkin grip Cortese - you dont want him, you don't want him. Fine., But stop jerking him around. When we make people redundant its because their job has gone, like Atkins. Any self-respecting person wishes them the best in their future career, thanks them for their efforts and moves on.
