Mick Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 We've been hurt many times before, the mental scarring takes time to heal. Look at this as a small amount of payback, even if it's long overdue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 https://twitter.com/CaulkinTheTimes/status/732681289342586880 Getting stuff done already My goodness, we are actually going to operate like an actual football club. This is so encouraging. Was so down after last Wednesday. Didn't even think Rafa ought to stay and deal with the bollocks. Looks like it might work out. If he gets full control man ... just incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Next season could be very enjoyable, and it will help reignite the fans, the clubs and the players love for football. I feel more positive about the club, than i have for years, and we only went down last week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Must be heart breaking for Rafa, the level of transfer targets he would be looking at now. Compared to 12 months ago Imagine the caliber of player we'll be able to attract with Rafa, even in the Championship. Compare that with the type of player we'd be able to attract in the Championship under McClaren, or Nigel Pearson, or Neil Warnock. We'll be able to attract a lot of the players who are already here for a start. I know we've been calling them worse than shit for the past 12 months, but a lot of them just needed direction and for their abilities to be put to the best use. Townsend, Lascelles, Mbemba, Anita, Tiote to name just a few. Aarons playing as a winger rather than a left back wasn't exactly a masterstroke tbh, but it was still pretty welcome.

Toondave Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 How long does a relegation clause last/how does it work? If he doesn't sign a new contract, assuming he got what guarantees he was after when initially signing, and someone come along for him in say November and we want him to stay can he go "but a-ha! relegation clause!" Not saying that's how he'd go but is it important we get rid of the clause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's hiring/firing players and staff there has to be a new contract signed very soon. Makes no sense otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Even with nothing signed and announced, he's still working away like it has been.. doesn't seem like nufc, this whole professional approach.

Lush Vlad Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 So he's apparently verbally agreed to stay, yet neither the club nor Rafa, has actually said anything? The media keep mentioning how we're still 'vulnerable' to other clubs coming in for him....... Well yeah. I guess if he doesn't actually sign anything and another club decide they want him. He may well leave. Pretty obvious, no? It all seems a bit odd. Supposedly looking at transfer targets, has said he's staying on. But he hasn't signed a contract?! I'm not getting my hopes up. f*** all has happened as of yet. Preparing myself for the worst, so that if he does stay, I'll see it as a bonus.

Lush Vlad Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Would they not be getting rid of that clause and getting a new one written up? A different one, stating he has full control and that lists out what they have agreed. I highly doubt they're just going to leave him on the old one. That Craig Hope was spot on with the Rafa news a while back. So that's something to be positive about, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I reckon he'll sign a new contract which says he can leave if we don't go up at the first attempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhtoon Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Out of interest, I know players are "trapped" by a contract as club holds their registration but if a manager quits, does he have to pay out his contract or anything? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's generally compensation due to the club. Traditionally the manager's new club pays this, presumably agreed as a formality in their contract talks with the manager.

That's what happened with Pardew. Palace paid us compensation because he was under contract to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
