for five years?
We haven’t seen the terms of the agreement but it is very likely (based on market norms outside the premiership) that Evans will have the right to terminate early in certain situations and not pay the full term. It would be astonishing if he didn’t.

Even if he has, why the heck did he even give it in the first place? It's not as though we were flying high. | |

who knows?
Maybe Lambert was threatening to walk. And if this was all done when the club were top/second, it puts it into better context. | | | |

Maybe but that's like shooting yourself in the foot but saying 'don't worry, there is a hospital next door'. [Post edited 4 Jan 2020 17:27]

Why would PL sign it if it was to leave him vulnerable? Surely the remainder of his last deals terms would be in place otherwise why extend and be sacked next week and lose out? | | | |

Giving someone what they want just because they throw a paddy and threaten all sorts is hardly the way to manage something - toddlers are taught that, let alone football managers. | |

Because it’s the market position and I doubt he had much choice.
But on the flip side there are performance related bonuses and the length gives him security if he performs within the parameters set. | | | |

True but that’s how these things are done.
It’s a high risk and high pressure industry. | | | |

We should have told him to go for it then, he’s finished as a manager unless he succeeds here |  |

Lol. No, it's definitely 5 whole years, not a second more or less.
(Of coure he can get rid of him ealrier, for a cost. The longer the deal the more leverage that Lambert will have for a decent settlement). |  |

Agree. No idea why we've pandered to him. | |

And by throwing tantrums when not getting his own way Lambert proves he struggles to handle the pressure. [Post edited 4 Jan 2020 17:37]

With respect that isn’t the point. The term might be five years, but unless you’ve read it then my point is that I strongly suspect there is a provision to allow Evans to terminate on certain triggers (eg. relegation, failure to come top half, etc etc). It’s standard practice. Evans is a shrewd and ruthless businessman who is not going to leave himself exposed. | | | |

It certainly is.
Name other industries where tens of thousands of people pay to watch you perform and compete each week, sing abuse and post on forums about you in a win/lose situation where anything other than promotion will be failure.
And you’re paid pretty well. | | | |
