no its reported that they aren't having to pay out his entire contract which would be a huge sum, just a percentage of it
The good thing is, should Levy indeed do that, Slot is already pretty accustomed to that since at Feyenoord there are very limited resources for new recruitment and they sold his entire team from the first year (9/11 new starters). He just kind of runs with it. Hopefully the new guy though, whoever he ends up being does get the necessary backing since the PL is a different beast.thanks for this. I was familiar with his trajectory but the points about man management lend him even more credibility.
it's a difficult one as I think a stronger more experienced manager will (to whatever extent) keep Levy accountable to financing the club's future on the field, i.e. acquisition of players and financing an established and successful (read: trophies) philosophy, whereas a manager like Slot with relative success in a smaller league and a lot of potential doesn't really carry as much weight (and will cost a lot less to hire and remove if necessary
Should Slot come in, I can see Levy reverting to a Poch-type scenario where you make the best of what you've got with incremental investment rather than the financial backing required to make the squad and club structure (scouting, academy, and so on) competitive at the highest level.
How the hell did Graham agree to that?
It's just an indicator and gives a little insight on the chances of the current runners and riders. Also brings some light hearted relief at times, too..
Funny, sad and true all at the same timeChelsea speaking to Naglesman “we have just spent £600 million on young exciting players ,name your targets and we will get them in the summer however we won’t accept top 4 we need to be competing and winning again”
Levy speaking to Naglesman “we got world
Class players like Dier who can’t wait to work with you, we are getting a go-kart track at the stadium soon and I can also give you free tickets to Beyoncé in the summer , get us top 4 and I’ll give you £15 million a year”
Was reported in a strange way…
That is literally what all payoffs are. Chelsea agreed to pay Potter x amount over x years. When he is removed from his duty, they will continue to pay him until such time as he replaces that income with a new one.
Especially not a defensive manager who tries to strangle the game and doesn’t score goals. Bore off

The only caveat I'd add is that the 'next manager' market (for all clubs I mean, not just us) tends to be extremely erratic, with odds shortening ludicrously every time the media picks up a name. Both Mason and Poch have been as low as 2/5 (yes, I do mean 2/5 not 5/2) in the last week or so. JN has also been odds on late last week. The betting companies must make an absolute killing on these manager markets.It shows what people actually think will happen - not necessarily what will happen.
Placing money on an outcome is a better barometer than a poll on twitter or some forum IMO.
The odds on it being Rodgers are shortening.
The best manager in football history ?
From the inside looking out we can all see that we are an absolute shambles and a banter club, Fuck knows what we must look like from the outside looking in!
About a billion pounds should do it?
WHY are you happy with Potter?
