Thank you Admin

No. Your idea could work with one year deals, but not with 3.

3 year deals? Too long, 2 years max

5 stars from me. Seems like you made some good points

2. The board is not allowed to sack the Manager regardless of any situation, as they must stand by their Manager throughout that period.
=============================================

woaaahhhhh there tiger, cant do that, there's certain situations where managers or any employee deserve the sack, what if theyre guilty of gross misconduct

It's a decent idea, but 3 years, the FA would never sanction that

I can see your reasoning, and it would be interesting to see. But what if a manager, such as Jose or Hiddink only wants to be at a club to fulfil their goals and move on?

The 3 year guarantee is all well and good, bit what if a manager brings the clubs reputation down for whatever reason, or publicly questions the board? If their is a mutual agreement that a manager was to leave, and this is allowed under your ruling then I do think it would be a good idea.

But it's not like these managers are given decent pay aways, particularly in the top clubs.

I would say 14 months would be a good minimum.

So if the manage loses his nut it wouldnt matter, they could call the owner s ect and be fine?

Simple you cannot employ a manager who is employed by another club until the gap between the end of the current season and start of the new season.

Well, that's a completely different story then Mex. If a situation like that was to happen, they would have to allow the Assistant of the club to take over until the end of the season.

if a manager or any employee is guarantee'd his position for 3 years, it gives them carte blanche to do whatever they like

This is also a better idea ^

Maybe 3 years is to much, but I was also trying to promote consistency/continuity within a club too. Chopping and changing Managers every year or two, can't be healthy and it discourages teams that may have youth players. After all, you have to be their for a while to get a feel for which youngsters may come up one day. Sir Alex is talking about a playing called Adnan now, and he won't be ready for another few years yet. A new Manager may not see that, and if they did, they may be gone before they have the chance to promote them?

or we could just leave it as it is and let the owners run the football clubs how they wish afterall it is their club, you might not agree with it but its their right

3 yrs is too much, a year would do it. The law would have to be very iron clad and impervious to loopholes. It should never have an exceptional circumstances clause otherwise its dead on arrival

I think this would be a great idea on a one season basis though, that way managers moving up the ladder can move on and all managers are given a decen chance at the club who take them on.

No, you have to of course place rules - How many managers on the regular call their Manages surfers etc. If there is a genuine reason to get rid that has broken misconduct like at the work-place then a sacking can be justified.

However, any owner/board must realise results can not always go their way. Especially for a team that's struggling at the bottom. They have to choose a Manager, interview wisely, make a proper decision and accept that this is our man for the job.

If this law came into force I'd expect a lot of Chelsea managers to be found floating down the Thames.

In the long run it would save Roman millions

BusbyBabes - May be you are right, if it was going to be a viable option that the F.A proposed, a 1 year deal would be seen as a more favourite option than the 3 for club owners/board directors.

I think a year minimum should do it. The manager has a yearly review and if he hasn't met the targets set then his position is discussed.
