"Could O' Leary be the next Arsenal manager?"

No, he is unproven in the J-League.

Well if you on a 3 year contract you expect that for 3 years you will get payed, if they cancel it you deserve compensation even if you are doing a rubbish job!

He shouldn't be next Arsenal manager though, passed it probably tbh

But then a manager (or player) should pay compensation to the club if they demand to leave.

Fergie is still breathing at 70

Can a manager really be past it at 53? Or in O' Learys case maybe he never 'had' it in the first place?

I know O' Learys unproven in the J-League, but there's still time for him to gain experience there before taking the Arsenal job.

"then a manager (or player) should pay compensation to the club if they demand to leave."

Well, they do generally - they buy themselves out, or rather more likely a club will buy it out. That's what transfers are all about, players and managers. That's why AVB has cost Chelsea sooooo much money.

That's the problem with the contract system in professional football, it's too secure for the employee.

Is it really all that different to the 'contract system' in any other business?

It is yes.

Otherwise when people got laid off, they'd receive compensation equivalent to 2-3 years pay.

It seems the more money a employee earns, the more job security they have. Bankers are pretty similar to footballers in that sense.
