But there is something similar which means he gets more money/we pay less if we wait until we are officially classed as a championship club? I could be miles off… but just a thought I'd love this to come true. Perhaps this is why there doesn't seem to be massive speculation as to who our next manager will be. We live in hope that we are this organised. 2

I could be miles off… but just a thought There are all sorts of daft clauses in contracts nowadays that just add to the general frustration of the game about how everything is always about money. See Poch going to Chelsea, yet can't start until the first of July. It is all about protecting your own interests. 2

I could be miles off… but just a thought I think it has been mentioned in here that that Potter would lose a good chunk of his Chelsea compo if he joins another Prem team Looks like we will officially be a Championship side at the end of the week Edited 5 June 2023 by moore_94 6 1
Happy Fox Posted 5 June 2023 Author Posted 5 June 2023 2 hours ago, teblin said: Burnley didn’t appoint Kompany until 14th of June last year. We didn’t appoint big Nigel in league 1 until 20th June. I hope it’s done sooner than that but not panic stations quite yet. managers could’ve quite easily been away last week or away on holiday now due to the end of the season. It's two months till the start of the season, we need to get this done asap. 1

I'd rather Potter in 2 weeks time, than half the tripe we could get now. It won't happen though, despite the hold ups for Martin and Poch, it didn't stop it becoming pretty nailed on well in advance that these were happening. 1
splinterdream Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 so it's quite likely that we may have our manager interviewed or even personal terms agreed but waiting for Championship club status, seems silly to me 1

ScrumpyJack Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 I’m really trying to stay positive but honestly with either Gerrard or Lampard at the helm I’d really struggle mentally to back the club after 25 years. They are marquee names, not clever managerial decisions. I’d rather we looked at a Marsch figure with something to prove over two managerial has-beens (yes already!) My number one’s Potter but would take a Russell, or even our old pal Pearson - especially if he wants to bring Alex Scott along with him! 1
indierich06 Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 Haven't actually seen anything about this contract stuff re: Potter, but it could be that there are some restrictive covenants in his contract which mean he would forfeit certain payments/bonuses if he were to join a rival (i.e. a premier league club) after leaving Chelsea - the amount/s would also have to be pretty hefty, as I'm sure most clubs would just look at this as a non issue and include the lost payments/bonuses in an incoming manager's signing on bonus. You'd have to wait until Championship status was confirmed/official, or Chelsea lawyers would likely try and argue the toss that he'd 'technically' joined a premier league club. This could all be pie in the sky/wishful thinking too, of course. 1
FoxinNotts Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 So are we all talking ourselves into 'its Potter', every thing is cool, all interviews are done, all is agreed, but no one can announce anything until we officially become a championship club? I'll go with that! Sure. Why not. 3

Maybe that runs until Lampard goes and Pochettino starts.

It's going to be either Gerrard or Bruce at this rate as they are names that the board/Ruskin have heard of. Happy to be proven wrong on Thursday, but just don't see it. I think potter would favour Palace to be honest. Edited 5 June 2023 by fox_favourite 2 1

Brainy Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 I understand it with us/Potter but why would Soton be waiting until they're officially a Championship club to a confirm Martin?
Horibbly Wrong Posted 5 June 2023 Posted 5 June 2023 We are not officially a Championship club until the Evrrton FFP decision is made (August 7th) 1
