There seem quite a few people in the "real world" who do similar tbf.

The Chairman's wife must fancy a bit on the side. Can't think of any other reason for appointing him. Boring football and a creep to go with it.

The "old boys" network?

I have worked at some companies where a new boss was brought-in to replace a crap one and they have turned-out to be just as bad or worse! I don't know how they get such good references, unless its from their existing companies (to get shot quick)?

Yeah, some people can talk a good game, get a good job and then leave before they are truly exposed for another good job.

And I guess when their old company is contacted for a reference, they gush (as they don't like to admit they employed a turkey)?

Look on the bright side he’s a big admirer of Chris Martin

If you get sacked you don't get redundancy money ffs.

I think you will find in the crazy world that is football management, that if you get sacked, they pay-off the rest of your contract? Ask David Moyes if he left ManU with only his last months wages in his ar5e pocket?

I thought they had their contract paid up to the end unless they found another job. It always seems a good deal. The pay offs are usually enough to keep you comfortable for the rest of your life.

It varies. Most now have it written into their initial contract about what happens in the even to their being sacked, including changes in the event of re-employment, agreeing not to spill any beans about the former club, etc. Very often the end is by "mutual agreement" to indicate a compromise has been reached for what pay-off they get, since if they resign then strictly speaking they wouldn't get anything and if sacked could claim that their contract should be paid up or even sue for unfair or constructive dismissal.

This isn’t the managers fault. Blame the chairmen who keep sacking managers they appoint. Blame the fans for putting pressure on clubs to sack their managers. These managers have to make sure that they get a pay out when they are sacked.

Well said Griff. It's kept billy in idleness for quite a while.

No Grouser. Once they've got rid they are duty bound to strike a balance between fairness and seeming accuracy.

So how/why do they walk-in to another job 3R? I don't see many ex-MD's driving delivery vans.

Actually Scouse, most first time league managers never get another job, we don't hear about them. A minority find themselves on a treadmill of one job after another, benefiting with each sacking.

What was the relationship between Martin and Clement, I think there was something but I can't remember what?

Clement says in the article that he has worked with Carlo Anchelotti at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, you would think he would have mentioned it when he was our manager.

Can't answer that I'm afraid. I think it might be they have impressive degrees etc. But the number of highly qualified folk with no common senses or judgement is a very big number.

Wrong, best job in the world is a road construction worker. Put up pointless diversions, and traffic lights, don’t ever actually work on the road, working year consists of 347 days holiday, working day consists of 3 hours of sitting in the van reading the sun, and 4 mins work with 5 hours of laughing at all the people your pointless diversion has sent to Cornwall, despite the road you are working on being based in Yorkshire.

If a chairman gives me a 3 year contract and then sacks me 12 months into that contract, I’m certain I will make sure I’m compensated for the rest of my contract.

...you evidently don't know many teachers.

Best job in the world? Crofting. You are your own boss, easy commute and great scenery

Plus you are free to starve to death and be turfed out by absentee landlords.
