Hi guys

As leader of the I told you so brigade obviously I am overjoyed that they have finally sacked the clown. Here's a thought to ponder on presumably the decision to give him and his training staff a 3 year contract was taken by RK and LR before we were bought by Mr Gao. I wonder how he feels about paying off the remaining contracts for staff he didn't appoint! I would not be surprised that the culling has not yet come to an end! Regards vs.

{Ed002's Note - What do the contracts say then?}

Hi ed

I guess we will never know but he hadn't resigned and his contract has been terminated so unless there was a failure to perform clause Sfc and mp will presumably have agreed a mutually agreed settlement figure! with a confidentiality clause from both parties.

{Ed002's Note - So why are you making these statements when you are talking from a position of ignorance? The implication was you knew the content of all of the Southampton staff contracts.}

No ed

I don't have a knowledge of the contracts but I do have a knowledge of hr and employment issues Sfc have terminated a 3 year agreement early then mp and the training staff will have to be compensated as they were dismissed early likewise if they had resigned to leave for another club Sfc would have claims for compensation as would have been the case when Everton approached Watford for Silva he still had time left on his contract.

Hi ed sorry you seem to have taken offence, from an employers perspective to have offered a relatively unknown manager a 3 year contract is effectively a gamble, a smarter way would have been a 1 year contract with the option for a further 2+. MP's standpoint is he is willing to work but Sfc no longer require his services and will have to compensate him, hence a mutually agreed settlement figure.

Vs, get what you are saying but to be fair if les offered one year, with an option of 2 years and he had a great first season, he could have been snapped up and we would be questioning why it was not a standard 3 years.

Well said Gregg and Ed. Fed up of people trying to pass this kind of complete fiction as fact and a legitimate criticism of the club.
