Snowflake Royal yuomi Given the club's precarious position it's staggering to the point of being unbelievable that PC was given the boot without their being an immediate replacement lined up. Very few teams in history have performed better when rudderless. The buck stops firmly with Howe (a terrible restart and no way to get (already aggrieved) fans onside) and the owners.
Swift resolution to this is needed.
I detest clubs who go behind a manager's back and negotiate a replacement before they're gone.
Not only is it immoral, I reckon a good lawyer could get a decent law suit out of it.
Admirable sentiment, but totally out of touch.
Successful managers walk out on clubs for better jobs, poorly performing clubs replace managers.
Are you saying you'd prefer a mandatory period absent of leadership (which, I think we can all agree, is the last thing this squad needs) in the middle of your season for the sake of the departing manager's feelings? Because that's batsh*t.
As for the legalese, managers know that they have their jobs by the grace of the performances on the pitch Any poorly performing ex-boss who thought he got replaced too quickly and got litigious about it is going to be laughed out of court. The contracts are watertight, and the pay offs for a sacking are eyewatering enough as it is.
