Apparently Rohl is one of the very people at SWFC that have been paid on time, so unless we go into admin you will need to pay a compo fee. He won’t be able to just hand notice in like some of our players. 

I suspect that was done tactically.

It does seem prudent to wait for maybe a week and hope it resolves itself. There's no guarantee that does happen though - can't shake the feeling it smacks of the classic Leicester false economy scenario. We baulked at Corberan's compensation clause, hired the 'cheaper' Cooper then Bought Skipp for £25m.

 

What does it cost if we don't land Rohl, not just monetarily but in time and to a degree reputation?

Chansiri won't let him walk when he knows he can get money for him. The guy has shown he has very little care for the club and will do things out of spite.

 

If not us now, other clubs will be sniffing around during sacking season.

Rohl has indicated he will walk anyway… he’s  made that clear to Chansiri.

Right, but my original comment referred to a German club "pulling the trigger", which could happen at any club at any moment, I was more just referencing the fact that we are holding out for a cheaper deal which is understandable given the situation we are in, but it would also be very us if us holding out from £5m, to 2.5m, to now £1m, and then holding out for £500k, then hoping he can get out for £0, only for a German club to have a fall out and sack their manager and gamble on Rohl, not really sure what we are debating here, just a hypothetical scenario that would sum this club up at the moment. 

We will hold out to save £500k and end up having to spend more than that on a Rohl alternative. 

Apparently there owner has paid the u-21s and Rohl so we would have to pay a fee regardless.

 

Things are probably moving behind the scenes, still think we will get him.

I am by no means an expert in law, but I'm not sure he can unless Chansiri accepts his resignation?

 

Can't imagine Chansiri has included a walk for free clause in the contract if the compo is actually 5m.

Anyone can walk away, even if Chansiri doesn’t accept his resignation. It just means he won’t be entitled to any of his severance. He naturally wants it, but he wants to go as well. It appears we’re happy to pay the severance, which is less than the compensation, hence the sticking point.

You can be sued for breaking a contract

I have no idea what your trying to say here but I think you are wrong.

May well have an anti competitor  clause. Ie if he resigns he is not allowed to take another post for a given period of Time unless compensation is paid to the former employer. this is quite common for senior staff in many organisations

I thought we had confirmation from ITK's that it was done yesterday?

That's generally how buying out works anyway. It's at the employee's discretion to pay the few to buy themselves out of the contract, but obviously the buying club will either front that fee to the person they're hiring on pay on behalf of. Technically it's never the club buying anyone out of their contract. So in Röhl's case, he'll expect a signing on fee that covers his cost for breaking the contract and then the actual up front bonus.

 

Point is, waiting a couple of days to save £1-2m makes sense. Waiting 2 weeks at this stage of the season (would be different in the middle of the season), would be completely stupid.

 

Does this really make sense? The manager would be paying money that he had earned and been taxed on and would then receive a signing on bonus that would be taxed. If the LCFC paid Wednesday then it would be a tax deductible business cost wouldn't it? I am not an expert so probably wrong.

ITKs? Don’t have any on here really unfortunately- the old Qwerty and Toffeefox were reliable years ago.

Yep, that's sort of how I expected it to be, i'd heard that some staff and some players had been paid wages in June for their may payments, so it only made sense that it was those who had sellable value getting paid, including Rohl.

Anyone can leave their job whenever they like, there are many examples of managers (and players, notably Cantona) retiring mid-contract. What he can’t do is then work for a competitor for the remainder of his contract.

 

The administrators have the authority to accept his resignation in order to cut costs, which is their primary function.

[Lionator]

It’s hilarious that people thought this would be done by July 1st. The chairman doesn’t care and the rest of the idiots in charge haven’t got a clue (perhaps due to a lack of high level direction). 

[ajthefox]

I'm sure we'll be pushing page 150 before we have anything more substantial to go off.

[winteriscoming]

If it’s true and I hope it’s not but we must be a right fvcking mess if we can’t pay 1m compensation for Rohl. 
He must feel really wanted by us if he’s having to quit to force a move.
