Luke Edwards was one and we all know his source is impeccable As I said, even if it is a rolling contract, just don’t trigger it renewing and put him on gardening leave until the summer. Would cost about a million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I feel proper blood lust about this. I actually love that we'd be denying him his 1000th game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Isn’t it that every day he wakes, he’s still got three years left? Maybe the 8m is for all the Steves to go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the 8m is for all the Steves to go? Their deals will all end at the same time. Jones the exception. They’ll also be on a fraction of Bruce. Even removing our entire backroom and academy team, I have no idea how it’d cost that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract could have any number of clauses in. The compensation might go up for every year he’s with us. It could be that the figures reported in March were wrong. Who cares?

robbo_11 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'd imagine the £8m is the total fee to remove all the staff (minus Jones) - wouldn't be surprised to see a fee included around staying up and then being removed from the role hence a higher cost. Either way it is ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I’m not sure where that figure came out of, probably from Bruce himself! Final year of his contract with no clause mentioned that anything gets triggered. It’ll be less than 3 million and he should count himself very lucky to be getting it, the absolute charlatan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It was an initial three year contract, but SB confirmed it doesn't end next summer, year three. The extent of any rollover and break clauses are pure speculation. The consortium will have factored any compensation into the sale price since he clearly must go.

Ste Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Bruce took the role knowing of Ashley's intentions to sell the club, it may well be that he has a clause that increases the payoff he is entitled to if the club changes hands while he's here. The lower amount could have been to make it cheaper for Ashley to peddle him if things went further south while he still owned the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'd be temped not to sack him, but demote him to u15s manager. Keep paying him and make sure he clocks in every day for his money. We all know he's going to Derby next. Be great to stop that from happening unless he walks away with a lower offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
