    Agreed but sometimes the consequence of going for all three points means we might come away with nothing. If that's the case then it's worth the risk because wins at this stage of the season are absolutely vital.

    Not sure the natives can handle defeat at the moment though.

    I’m sure you’ve researched better than me but I’m not sure that’s how it works. It’s why Di Matteo and the Israeli manager wouldn’t take other jobs, they would be on less money than Chelsea paid them for “gardening leave”. Also allegedly the reason Marsch turned down Southampton, they only offered him a six month contract, which would end us paying him with no guarantee of being kept on after that initial deal.

    Exactly correct, because Southampton were paying him more than we were, which is why JM wanted a longer contract as it would have cost him money.

    As for clubs making up the difference when managers take a lower earning position, I can offer this as evidence for my understanding

    https://www.espn.co.uk/football/tot...roma-to-save-tottenham-$125m-per-year-sources

    The 58-year-old initially agreed a severance package worth around £20m ($27.8m) following his sacking by Spurs last month. That figure comprised Mourinho receiving his circa £15m ($20.8m)-a-year salary in full until his Tottenham contract was due to expire in the summer of 2022.

    However, sources have told ESPN that agreement came in the form of Spurs guaranteeing his wage until that date rather than one lump sum payment, meaning that if he took a position at another club, the north London side would only need to top up his earnings if they fell short of that amount.

    Sources have told ESPN that Mourinho will earn €10.2m a year (£8.8m) at Roma before tax. Tottenham will continue to pay Mourinho until he begins work at Roma this summer but then his £8.8m ($12.2m) salary at Roma is effectively a direct saving thereafter.

    However it also depends on the contract between club and manager. Moyes contract when he signed for scum, stated that he would only be paid 12 months salary if they sacked him for failing to finish in the top 4.

    There will always be exceptions, especially when it relates to top clubs or top managers. With grant and di Mateo , I imagine Chelsea were in the driving seat when it came to contract negotiations, so could easily have put in a clause saying they stop paying them when they gain new employment, however I don't imagine Thomas Tuchel would have had the same clause, as his experience would put him in a better negotiating position.

    The thing with football managers and sackings, is that they are still subjects to the our employment laws.it used to be that managers would be paid their lump sum straight away, however with salaries increasing and FFP having an impact, it has probably become more common for severance pay to be spread out over the term of the remaining contract

    Marsch will keep them up. Maybe at the expense of us.
