The club statement said he was relieved of his role which indicates he was pushed. Something tells me though that he knew it would happen if we didn't make the play offs. I think Lee will now follow his desire to manage abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Considering he had another three years on his contract, he’s probably been dismissed with a seven-figure payout. I just hope there was a clause in his last contract protecting the club from a termination payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a massive one off severance payment? If he gets another job i am guessing the payments would stop. This is again rather costly, and same possibly for the other two, JM & DH if they go ?

It's likely the contract has terms in that cover this and limit compensation to something like one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what was in his contract. Hopefully the club put clauses in to terminate his contract if he wasn’t meeting pre-agreed targets, eg failure to make the play-offs. If there weren’t any clauses, the worst-case scenario is three years left of a four-year deal @ £600k pa = £1.8m payoff. Anywhere between that and a year’s salary seems plausible.

You sure it was not bobby Gould,s LADA from 1973. He did score on the opening match of the season at home to Bolton. Booby got a bonus that day and went up market he bought a Austin Morris 1300. No one wanted to get in the LADA and move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sacking is going to be expensive not only from the compensation point of view but equally what it will take to bring on board the calibre of coach that SL believes will advance the club . No more four year contracts I imagine . I hope we get good money from player sales and still have enough for a new man to wheel and deal. The talent is already at Ashton Gate there doesn’t seem to be any need to go overboard in the next transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
