Ruud Van Nistelrooy - Sacked - Official

[MonarchFox]

I'm thinking they know they are taking a hit with PSR, so might as well go all in.

 

Pay Ruud off and get someone in and pay his compensation to the club also.  Take the hit and points deductions in one go.

 

Looks like it might be Rohl

Two words in Percy's article immediately stand out. 

 

'Anonymous board'. Couldn't be more true. 

 

They've been anonymous for a while.

His farewell thanks are limited to the players, coaches and staff.

 

No words of gratitude to his cucks!

He thanked the fans for their support, if that's who you mean? 

 

His statement annoyed me for different reasons.  Bland plattitudes again.  I never got the sense that he ever gave a toss.  Never saw any sign of anger or commitment.  He should have been raging.

We'll see. Nothing would surprise me with them.

Also they had to get rid before Monday, as it would be just spark Rumours about him not being there on Monday.

[rugbyblue]

GET OUT! Good riddance.  Worst manager in living memory.  

 

Now can we just have someone who refuses to play soumare and ill be a little happier. 

[Dames]

One of the other things that stood out for me in the article as well was the players resistance to strength and conditioning training? The team has looked unfit for years and its all because the players cant be arsed to earn their money??

We can terminate Ruud's contract a few days before the 1st and attribute it to the following period.

Accounting standards are pretty clear that you have to recognise a liability when you meet the criteria "the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably."

 

Whether the official termination is dated 27th June or 1st July, the event is the club issuing the press release stating the contract has been terminated.

 

Therefore, the timing of the actual document might affect whether the cost goes in the accounts as an accrual rather than a payment, but the fact remains it is a cost in the accounts to the end of June '25.

 

There may be some arguments about adjusting costs into different periods from the statutory accounts for PSR calculations, but I can't see any way the club would get away with that.

 

My feeling is that they have run their calculations for the year to June '25 and have decided to put this cost in '24-'25 after all. Whether this is to breach all in 1 go and leave '25-'26 clear, or whether they have juggled enough to put the cost through is the big question, but I do think this decision has been made based on having as much information as possible as to what the June '25 results will be.

Seemed like a good guy…wish him well for the future!  Need someone with a bit more experience now…….

[Qwerty]

It seems likely the pay-out will be made on 1st July.  A delay (between sacking and paying) of 4 days is credible, whereas sacking him in April and saying “he’s gone but we’re not paying him off for 3 months” would have been questioned. 

[Wakeyfox]

If they send his BACS payment today it won't clear until Tuesday 1st July - simples

[Parker Pen]

Football Love a bit of ‘Left by Mutual Consent.’ don’t they?  All Smoke and mirrors; I’m sure there’s the accounting figures from LCFC and then the nice Tax free bonus he receives via an off shore account.

Leicester city won't pay me till Monday I suppose its the same for all staff even the manager .. its always the last working day of the month

I think it’s more likely that the club wanted to be 100% clear on financial year end position and timing means they are comfortable that the pay off can be absorbed in this financial year rather than the new one. Also means they can use the headroom for Rohl’s compo. 

[AjcW]

Just taking a look through KP's history....

 

Handsome managers - Epic fail

Ugly managers - Epic fail

No nonsense managers - MIXED

Italian managers - WINNER WINNER

 

Any other italians available?  

 

[Saxondale]

Why has everybody got a hard-on for Röhl btw?

[em9999]

I believe it will be rolh and the club have timed it to fit 

[RowlattsFox]

Clearly everyone knew he was sacked already, just waited for this particular date to announce it. With that, you'd hope there has already been some planning but I suppose you can't assume that.
