Exactly. If the club don’t want him they have to pay for their mistakes, just frustrating to see people then leaping to the conclusion that this is RvNs plan and he has no intention of taking us forward. Seems to me he wants to stay if given the chance, given the fact he was told he would have money in January and now it looks like we need to offload 50m of players in the next couple of weeks and are facing a points deduction, if he does still want to stick around then I’d say that’s a big plus on his character.

Potentially very dumb question; why? 

Are football/sports contracts written differently so if a manager is sacked they get the full pay out? Compared to a "regular" job contract where if we were sacked

Yes they are. And would you walk away from millions if you were owed?

Oh no, anyway

If I was already a multi millionaire, was useless at and hated the job I was currently in and was pretty much guaranteed to find another overpaid job in the industry fairly quickly... yeah I prob would.

Given his history of developing youth, was he the reason we blooded so many academy players. It will be interesting to see how he gets on.

Could potentially be a good loan move for some players we feel may not get enough game time to develop this season.

If it wouldn’t have been such a shit season would we have seen any of them “blooded” in the league 

[Bptiger]

Blooding , is that u call given them 5 -10 minutes, they should have been given 30 minutes, once we were relegated, just to see how they would go , sticking with the useless lot that got us relegated was just bad judgement 

[Realist Guy In The Room]

How much moneh we gettin?

Good luck to him can’t blame him for leaving a sinking ship

Thing is, once we were relegated, there was still £3.8m in prize money to win. Might come in useful.

[Mendi]

Good luck to him.

[Paninistickers]

He needs to disassociate himself from the Dutchman's narcissism and the Rudkin/Whelan 'dont mention the war'  lala land shithshow. He shows judgement.

 

Good luck to him

Unfortunately that psychic octopus from the world cup would have won more points last season. 

 

Saying he wants to stay is a bit of a moot point. I'd want to stay in a job that paid me millions even though I was the worst person ever to do it. 

 

Ruud was screwed by the board - same old story, yes we have money to spend then it doesn't materialise. They did it to Brendan and Enzo. Not having a window and coming in without his own team initially was a handicap.

 

However, he was also utterly shit. It doesn't matter if he wanted to stay or not.

This shows good judgement, going from this to Tan at Cardiff, not so much!

Good part of the problem of the shit show last season, slowly starting to clear the deadwood, long way to go though.
