The managerial merry-go-round

He can't be that stupid, surely?

I saw it said elsewhere that including preseason, Forest won 4 of their last 20 matches under Nuno.

Nuno official at West Ham.

Go on EM, get on the phone to Stotgun, Bastard and Dribble, attorneys at law.

I don't know if managers in football have offset language in their contracts, but if they do then I imagine Marinakis is entirely happy about this.

Will his quick appointment at West Ham save us some money perhaps ?

That's what offset language means, Jim.

Yer, Mince.

New one on me. I presumed it was something about negotiating a new contract while still in an existing one (and getting sued for it maybe).

Offset language in a settlement agreement is basically "I'll pay you what's outstanding on your deal, but if you find a new job before your contract would have ended naturally then the amount I still owe you is offset by whatever you're getting paid on your new deal". Basically it stops people double dipping.

Yes, yes, but all of that reality is tediously dull.

Someone should tell Ingo's mum about this

I think the answer is “it depends”. Sometimes they negotiate a settlement, sometimes they keep paying their salary until they get another job.

Ironically Nuno’s No.1 target was Mateus Fernandes

So he gets to play with him after all.

Chicago: Enjoying the conspiracy Theory.

I’m sure Adama Traore will be there come January

Steve Bruce is available, as he's just been sacked by Blackpool. In surprising news, Steve Bruce was managing Blackpool until yesterday.
