O'Neill totally avoided the question 10:54 - Dec 3 with 2211 viewsThe_Flashing_Smile

of if the cost of Lambert's 5 year contract is prohibitive to sacking him. He answered why it was given, which is a totally different question.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I think that they know we've sussed that they were stupid enough to offer high compensation in the event he was sacked without any break clauses on the end of the club. It goes back to when O'Neill said promotion wasn't a priority last season, after the season had ended and people were asking then why no break clauses were initiated and the manager was still in post. They don't have any break clauses and it's another monumental cock up on their part.

That would be extraordinary if true.

Because it would likely break data protection rules to do so.

Managers never tend to get the full contract paid up anyway and i’m sure we had it on fairly good authority that there was a non-promotion clause in there. It was only Covid that saved him last season

He is hardly going to answer that though is he? Not should he be disclosing the terms of any other employee at the club publicly (not like he's Symonds after a few beers).

It may be that there are conditions that make paying off PL cheaper if, say, we were outside the top six at the end of the year.

I'm not asking him to disclose terms. The question was simply whether the cost of sacking a manager who signed a five-year deal on New Year’s Day would be prohibitive. He could simply answer: no, it's nothing to do with cost.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Why should he give out any personal information?

There are employment and personal information laws in this country, why do people assume football clubs don't have to follow the rules that other business do? Like all companies ITFC have a care of duty to their employees which includes not disclosing personal information

That's pure speculation and strikes me as being very unlikely. I doubt any manager has ever been given a 5 year contract with absolutely no clauses that enable them to be sacked without having to pay the full remainder of the contract.

FFS, another straw man builder!

How is that remotely any personal information?

Just reading the variety of responses to this post, highlights quite clearly the naivety of most fans when it comes to contracts and the level of detail they expect to have access to as ‘end-users’.

Rather like buying a Mars Bar, you’ll be told it’s net weight and basic ingredients, but not how much the factory workers earn, or the percentage reduction in chocolate deemed acceptable by its manufacturer.

That sense of entitlement, is of course why you’ll never get the answers or detail you crave from someone who is essentially there to protect the owner and manager from idle or potentially damaging speculation.

A senior executive once advised me to forget about what goes into a pork sausage and to focus on enjoying its qualities once combined with bread, butter and ketchup. The pig can never be brought back to life, but it’s fate can still be celebrated.

You obviously didn't read the responses very well, as you appear to be another straw-manner. Again, where have I asked for any level of detail?

It's similarly idiotic and pretentious, just without the poetic descriptiveness.
