What's this about Roma saving money if we get Garcia? http://www.calcionews24.com/calciomercato-roma-garcia-southampton-488360.html here too: http://www.laroma24.it/mercato/merc...arcia-in-pole-per-la-panchina-del-southampton That doesn't mean we have to buy his contract out, does it?
You don't have to keep paying up someone's contract if they choose to take up another job. Pretty sure that's it, wouldn't incur any added costs for us.
Unfortunately we will have Pelle playing this role trying to first time flick everything from just inside the opposition half. If this is the way Garcia plays then I would imagine that a number 10 will be pretty high on our shopping list this summer, it should have been anyway.
You usually don't have to keep paying someone if you sack them, either! But he must be on some sort of "Gardening Leave" if us hiring him will save them money. Just so long as we don't have to buy his contact out or anything!
So he would get to manage an EPL club, but we would have to at least match if not exceed his Roma wage.
I'd guess we were going to do that anyway - the new TV deal means that we have silly money to splash in compared to European clubs, if not other English ones. That's why we go shopping in Europe so often too - far cheaper than England.
Rudi is now odds on with the majority of bookies, looks like things might be imminent, unless he is on an extended holiday playing golf of course.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...opped-from-southamptons-managerial-shortlist/ Article from Telegraph saying that Howe was approached via intermediaries, but both parties wary of a manager from a club so close on the South Coast. AVB was never considered. Suggests Garcia is a serious consideration, but the article also alludes to an unknown foreign manager (mystery man, I assume).
