I don't think running a football club is as easy as you think

And we will have to have agreed a contract in line with market rates.

But if your point is that executive remuneration stinks, then I'm with you. If your point is that the club is a shambles and ridiculous and badly run, then I'm not. At least not until you present some proper evidence.

        That's a different question (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 29, 10:29:50

        Yes but whoever negotiated a contract that provided for such a payment in such (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 29, 10:03:13
        
        Very good. Except you don't actually know the details of the payment (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 29, 10:26:47
        
        it's a very standard concept (NCFC) - CWC, Oct 29, 10:22:40
        
        I'm not in a tizz about it - obviously there will be a reason we agreed to pay it but (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 29, 10:45:19
        
        It certainly reads like you're in a tizz. (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Oct 29, 11:02:35
        
        Right (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 29, 10:45:34

        There's only one division that we spent consecutive seasons in during mcnally's time here (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 29, 09:05:27
        
        But he resigned upon 2 Prem relegations (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 09:12:07
        
        That's a sensible point (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 29, 09:27:49
        
        Usually it's payment in lieu of notice period isn't it? (NCFC) - Jim, Oct 29, 10:28:49
        
        Wasn't he on a 12 month rolling contract? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 29, 10:31:24

        I was referring to the inclusion of a Golden Goodbye in the contract (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Oct 29, 12:02:02
        
        I'm sure that reflected his monster salary (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Oct 29, 12:18:56
