Rodgers had a £10M clause in his contract if he was sacked. He left Leicester by mutual consent so therefore an agreement was made for a reduced amount. He can accept any job he wants and its no concern of Leicester's. Which makes all the above totally irrelevant. |
Well Keith says differently so you both cannot be right. I tend to favour the lower number (yours in this case) due to the tendency for hyperbole in football. However Keith is the experienced Journo.
I doubt you know the exact details of Brendan's sacking as it is probably not of public knowledge at least until the accounts come out. I do not know for sure but simply speculate. Forums live and die on speculation.
It as my understanding that in some cases manager's pay off is offset if a one club pays the bill if the manager is re employed in a short period. My point is therefore not irrelevant.
I took this of a football website . SQaF. I cannot verify the accuracy of this.
["For instance, Jose Mourinho didn’t come cheap for Tottenham Hotspur. His past success as a manager meant Tottenham was willing to take the risk in signing him to a large contract. Of course, things didn’t work out for them and Tottenham was left with the decision to give Mourinho his marching orders.
Reports claimed his compensation from Tottenham was approximately £16 million. However, Mourinho found himself in a job within a matter of months.
This reportedly saved Tottenham having to pay the full compensation but they are paying the difference between his new salary at Roma and his old one at Spurs. With Mourinho finding employment so quickly, it’s thought that Tottenham will save around £9 million from the original £16 million compensation package."]
Managers seem to get paid huge sums and then a reappear at another club in a different country when they could q simply retire. There must be strings attached. |  |

He hasn't got a job. Passed his UEFA coaching badges some years ago, has coached at Barcelona but currently looking for a role to see out his playing career and moving in to management. Clearly not good enough fir Swansea as the great Sage of Swansea football hath spoken. | | | |

Clarifying my point, he would be as equal a risk as Chris Davies, and for me has been in a multi million pound environment where fixing problems is how much you spend. Davies not so much, but years in certain environments does at times produce coaches who want a lot of finance.
No manager will get that at Swansea.
If they spend three million next season after all the sales I’m certain will happen I will be very much surprised. | |

And the thread about the owners being reluctant to go after any manager that will cost compensation means that they are a million miles away fromn"aiming high"
I wonder if, in the end, any of us will be delighted. The road they are taking, it's starting to make Tan and Dalman look capable. | | | |

Compensation now!
Well Brenda would not cost compensation, and would be aiming very high |  |

We leave people in a mindset of making their own decisions based on certain information we report, like any other website, mainstream media or whatever. Not sure if you are new to this site I haven’t looked, but have a look back on our reports since we took over regards, Piroe, Fisher, Cooper, Martin as a start ( there are many others ) Look at the dates, then look at the outcomes. You are asking me or more directly others who we know to make a call on the intentions of our clubs owners.
Have you any idea how hard it is to decipher information set against our owners in the USA and what they are thinking ! It’s like herding cats.
I think what you need to do is look back on the report you reference and read thoroughly what has been saiid. As for me saying ‘ there’s very little to spend ‘ maybe you can reference that with a screenshot or direct me to the conversation. Also when was it stated on here there will be plenty of player sales ? I don’t recall that being reported.
As for what you are to believe, then I think what you are asking is for us here at this website to make your own mind up for you. I can’t do that. We try to inform as best we can, and if you also refer back on this website it will indicate to you where our information when it can be divulged comes from. We often refer to agents, employed agents, contacts, sources or whatever. I’ve been writing on Swansea City matters for thirty plus years. This includes books, working for many national papers and football magazines. I hold my contacts very close and they will always be confidentially guarded.
We all here at this website have to be very careful how things are worded so the source ( if there is one isn’t disclosed ) many contacts of ours have a sympathetic view on our charitable cause and are as a result happy to chat confidentially almost every day. A good example was that error we made regards Martin’s new contract last week. It was online for ten minutes, a grave error by me, and I take full responsibility for that regardless as to why. Any long term reader of this website I’m sure agree when there’s been an error I speak up immediately.
On the manager. Tomorrow morning we have some info on Russell Martin, it’s going to be met with the usual twitter nonsense but it’s fact. A bit like today when people tried to undermine the website by asking questions that if they took five minutes to read the compensation issue for Martin a week ago they would have their answer. Like I said we aren’t twitter and we certainly can’t keep everyone happy with 180 characters, or whatever it is on a social media platform crammed with obsessive hatred.
That’s why we add context, opinion, and our own knowledge to a report plus the source information. I’m happy to have a chat on this thread if you reference specifics, and will be the first to hold their hand up if it’s wrong, as you may well be aware we rarely get credit when it’s right.
On the ‘delighted ‘ report we referenced what we knew and were told at the time. That’s still the case, but we warned as well of our concerns.
I’ve responded not just to you but to everyone really who reads this. Sometimes, even with a back catalogue of time stamped reports we have to reinstate where we are at. So yes, anyone who see’s anything they would like to mention or question please shoot. Only happy to respond.

As David Gold, ex West Ham joint chairman said. WTE.
‘We are in for everyone, all the time’
As Simon Jordan responded ‘ Yes you can do that but you have to have the muscle and financial ability to do so ‘ | |

Thanks for the reply appreciate the work you do to try and keep us updated on what’s going on .the point I was referring to was the post directly above my post . Ref lots of sales and less than 3 million to spend .My opinion happens to be I prefer the club not to announce anything until it’s 100% happening. I prefer that approach over Silverstein / Coleman spouting off in the media .
I do read the site daily but prefer not to post .
Firstly my grammar is pretty poor so fear of being ridiculed.
Secondly a few annoying posters tend to hijack some pretty decent debates | | | |

Nope.
They are not partisan and pretty fair.
I’ve had plenty of jousts with Keith and will have many more ,hopefully.
There are groups of like minded folk on here that back each other up no matter what but by and large this a a site to exchange opinions in a decent way . Some can’t post dispassionately or objectively but this site is worth sticking with. | |

Stuart usually gets a load of responders, obviously this one hurt too much for the twitterati to involve themselves in. The internet is a great time stamp.

" But he wasn’t interested.
FWIW, I think some people (blinded by their love of the club) believe the job is far more attractive than it really is."
He's spot on, yet some reckon that Managers would be queueing all the way from the Liberty right down to B&Q.
Absolute nonsense, they all will have known about the debacle in January and they'll probably ask themselves as to why the last 3 managers were very keen to get out, although it might have suited both parties for Martin to go, I suppose. |  |

Still pushing the nonsense that Potter, Cooper and Martin wanted out because of a transfer window. |  |
