Another great thing to thank Ashley for, a 3 year rolling deal ffs. Can anyone explain in simpleton terms what this means/how the contract works? Normally when I hear "rolling contract" I associate that with easier and cheaper to terminate. I know the Athletic put out an article back in July which apparently gives some clarity on it, but at that time I didn't really care if he was here for another season or 10 as long as Ashley owned us so didn't really pay attention to what was said on here.

I’m assuming because it’s a rolling 3 year contract the minimum term is always 3 years hence the large payout. Generally rolling contracts would be 1 months notice.

Ashley has stitched them up proper to ensure Bruce gets a bunch of money off them. Terrifyingly, this also lets us know that there was absolutely no chance Bruce would have ever been sacked under Ashley had he remained, as it looks like the pay off is massive. I've changed my mind again. I know we need the points, but I hope if Bruce is still here that Spurs show us up big time and he gets pelted all game. He's a disgrace.

It sounds like after each year the contract resets to three years, and so essentially, it can never be run down. It's a never ending contract. Basically Ashley hired Bruce to be here forever, until he managed to sell the club and then Bruce would be rewarded with a full payoff due to the contract never running down.

Collage Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 years notice period Guess his salary is relatively low. Ashley would never have sacked him so for him it was a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I’m saying I wouldn’t. But you're not already a millionaire. He is. If he had any self respect he'd have walked when we lost to Sheffield United, or when we lost to Leeds - a run of 11 games without a win. Or he'd walk now - 8 games into the season and no wins. At least Gullit walked. This guy is simply a total cunt. Proper Toon fan though apparently... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 At the end of the day £8m is nothing now, as much as I want Bruce to suffer I don’t see why they would quibble at 70% v 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually respect them for not just handing it over to the fat mess. They're looking at the position the club is in at the bottom of the table and how much the fans and players dislike him and are thinking 'why should we just give this idiot £8 million?!'.

KaKa Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 The awkward hiring of Graeme Jones and him essentially looking like the new manager is also beginning to make more sense now. I think it was the best way they could manage bringing someone new in, without getting rid of Bruce because they couldn't, even though at that point they probably knew they had to, as he was taking us down.

They will strategically calculate all costs and to be honest as a club that’s exactly what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If true this cements for me why he is worse than Pardew. We knew what Pardew was from day one, he owned it and didn’t surprise us at any point. He made me want my team to lose but he at least got the message and fucked off when he had the chance Bruce on the other hand is only here because ‘he is one of us’. He knew what he was walking into, knew what the fans felt about the owner and knew that better people had tried and failed to change the situation. He isn’t a fan, he never was a fan and is now holding the club he ‘loved since he was a boy’ to ransom. I’m sick of hearing about his dad and I’m sick of him having a go at the fan base. A true fan would never have come near this shit show, he’s now proved he isn’t a fan by not leaving when he has the chance. He shouldn’t be anywhere near Sunday and he shouldn’t even be allowed to talk about ‘his’ club once he finally leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we were all set to sack Bruce and then word of the large payoff got back to PIF and they were like 'Hell No!'. I imagine they have been looking into if there are any ways to bring that number down, unless it is absolutely necessary as there is no way out of it.
