 This and the new Wolves manager seem good appointments for us IMO.

 I'd be annoyed if we appointed either manager, both don't stay at clubs long.

 ....and again, the parallels with Lambert keep on coming.

 Is that because of how the financial rules work?
 I'm sure I saw something recently where a club can spread the cost of a player fee across the length of their contract within Financial rules but compensation to another club for a manager has to be included as a one off payment in that financial year

 I cant imagine the pay off figure would be so high that it would outweigh the risk of relegation?

 I doubt the payoff is significant compared to player costs and relegation.  I believe his salary to be around £2M per annum, with a contract due to run to 2027.
 
 They will not have paid the full amount of outstanding contract, more like 50%-70%, so based on 70% of 2.5 years, will be  around £3.5M at a guess.
