Godders, great post, but if you're going to give it the big one about spelling/grammar, it's always best not to make an elementary mistake in the very same sentence...
Surely by not coming to work, Koeman is not actively fulfilling his contract and can't work up to a two year bonus? The man's a maggot.
K Billy on SaintsWeb suggesting that Koeman might find himself put on gardening leave by Saints soon...
Good. Can we now also stop him from signing Everton's contract? Or just delay it until such a time as Everton can't wait for him and move on, whilst we replace him? Anything to make it less attractive for other clubs to think they can come calling, with a barrel load of cash, and take our next manager.
Whilst we can legally do this and even feel like doing it, it will only take one major case to end up in court to blow all football contracts. Could end up with a situation normal in most employment where players/managers can just give notice. Would be chaos, especially for teams like us that keep being ransacked.
It was meant to be a rant written as you would say it as a rambling load of bullshit and nonsense. I deliberately did not punctuate it.
Possibly but clubs might then be able to insert no-compete clauses into contracts. Certainly I would think they could go in managerial contracts. Someone like Koeman will have had access to all sorts of information about current players and prospective signings.
In my experience, the minute a senior manager advises his/her employers that they intend to leave they are immediately leave and go on gardening leave until their contracted notice period is worked out. I can't see RK will be any different
That notice period us 'normal people' have I'd written into our employment contracts. Sometimes it's a long period for us plebs, too. I work in a college, and the Teachers have to give a Term's notice. Senior management is far longer. So I expect any notice period in football managers contracts would be at least a year.
