Sage SACKED, according to reports

Wonder who will win the sack race?
Unitedboard travel to Monaco(?) tomorrow to decide whether Carrick will stay or not. And two more names added on possible manager list for the Palace job, they both French!! Hope that Frank is offered and accepts the job - NOT the Coventry boss thank you, but the Dane that steered Brentford to success.
 
I would not keep him in post, with or without Roy.
I think of the chaos and lack of discipline in our play.
Three sending offs already, with Pino fortunate not be another for the early bath.
Our players are continually caught our of position, leaving them where they should not be and making desperate tackles.
Wharton has been left particularly exposed.
I expect a new manager to introduce more organisation and discipline into our play.
Not a lot to ask.

It isn't but nor is wanting a midfield who could get a shot on target occasionally and that hasn't happened.
 
Just seen Lens have got rid of their second manager of the season.

I wonder if we're waiting for a deal where he can return and hence avoid paying any severance fees. It'd probably make sense for all parties and everyone can just pretend that the last 6 months didn't happen... Except of course we'll still be bottom of the league with a terrible goal difference 😬

We could arrange a Conference League Winners Bus Parade during the international break if that helps?

Why not Wednesday? (tomorrow) Oh, Remembrance Day? Not sure how that would be disrespectful but there you go.

I think the Forest Green making news over Remembrance Day is going to scare other clubs from doing anything that could possibly be viewed as disrespectful.

Would firing Sage be respectful? Probably not, but at this time I don't think the club is going to open themselves up to any additional scrutiny at this point if they can avoid it.

I am not 'Au Fait' with the contractual arrangements in relation to Pierre Sage, however some contracts include mitigation clauses rather than fixed settlements.

a mitigation clause would be to ensure losses are minimised (e.g. if a tenant walks away from a letting contract) etc - not sure how that would apply to a manager's contract.

There will definitely be a termination clause - be it a set amount or a sliding scale based on length of contract left.

He may also be covered for other costs e.g. if he has paid upfront for say a 12 month lease on a property etc.

However, as all prem managers are on such high salaries if he walks away with say £3m or £4m as a lump sum payment then arguing over say £20k rent seems a little tight.

His support staff on the other hand will not have such excessive contracts and that's maybe the delay

I am not 'Au Fait' with the details of Sage's contractual agreements.

In general terms, contracts might state that if a manager removed of his duties is appointed elsewhere, the former club's severance or payoff obligations are reduced or offset by the salary of the new role.
I will add that 'Contract Law' is not my wheelhouse.
 
Sky are going with us waiting to see if Lens offer him a job. We might not have money to burn but if true this is a short sighted policy. Either back him or sack him.

And what's next? Are we going to make a player's transfer to us contingent on whether he can find a missus in London in time to stay with her? Because then we could save on housing costs.

Maybe we should wait until a striker has scored 10 goals before paying him.
