Gardening leave for Russell Martin 12:02 - Dec 20 with 1355 viewsIfonly

This is a side point to our change of manager, regarding what I have said about putting Russell Martin on "gardening leave". That is what we should have done with RM to avoid the cost of sacking him and it appears to be what Roma did with Juric. Note the tweet from Fabrizio Romano:



Roma sacked him on 10th November, yet he is now "formally working on exit terms". That means he is still contracted to them even though he was sacked as manager 6 weeks ago. By doing this, Roma will avoid having to pay him compensation because he will now want to be freed from his contract so that he can come to Saints. Now it all comes down to a negotiation where Juric will accept less than his full compensation so that he is free to work here.

If SFC really put themselves in a position where they had to pay RM his full 3 year contract, or the £10-12m that was rumoured, then that would be incompetent. We should have put him on gardening leave and waited until a Championship club offered him a job, like Roma have clearly done with Juric.

Edit: the tweet appears to be censored but anyway you get the idea

No manager is ever 'sacked'.

They are just relieved of their duties. They will continue to be paid by the club until they reach a settlement on the remaining value of their contract or the contract runs out.

And it is not just the Manager but his backroom staff that possibly stand at around half a dozen who will be part of the compo payable.

So why all the stories about having to pay RM £10m? Actually some clubs do pay out immediately. Man Utd said they'd paid out to Ten Haag to get rid of him. If SFC did the same with RM it was stupid. Do like Roma do, even if not in Rome.

So still no confirmation of appointment from SFC and contract complications between Juric and Roma
This is shaping up to be another SR sh*t show
