Head Honcho Posted 30 May 2007 Posted 30 May 2007 He may not have been able to cut it at the top but you can't fault his integrity. Refused a pay off when sacked at Manchester City. Quoted as saying "when they rang and told me I'd been sacked that was the last time I expected to be paid by the club" If only we could get a few others to take a leaf out of his book.

Old news really. Around the time he took the job, he stated that there were no clauses for compensation in his contract. If they bin him, he isn't paid off. I think the club wouldn't demand compensation if another club came in for him... don't quote me on that, though.

lookwhaticando Posted 30 May 2007 Posted 30 May 2007 Oh you've done it now. The City boss insists he would not want a pay-off should chairman John Wardle decide to dispense with him, and likewise, he would not expect the club to seek compensation for him if he decides to leave.[...] "In some ways a contract wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on because of the clauses I have asked to go in there. "That's the way I like to work. I don't know anyone else who works this way, but it suits me. "If at some point in the future this club don't want me to be their manager I'm not going to argue with them about giving me a pay-off for this or that. I wouldn't want their money. "Likewise, if I'm to leave this club anywhere down the line for whatever reason, I don't feel that having walked through the door for nothing five years ago, it should be the case that the club say 'we want £1m or £2m for him' and handcuff me. "If it works one way, it has got to work both ways." (Said Pearce). Pearce yet to sign contract. Why should Manchester City pay me for not being their manager? I have been fortunate to earn a decent wage as a player, and now as a manager. I don't want to be wrangling with the chief executive for a couple of quid. My wife thinks I am an idiot - but that is my view.City boss Stuart Pearce on his decision not to have a compensation clause in his new contract. Quotes of the Week | March 13th 2006.

I'm sure Sven wanted to do the same but the FA forced him into all them millions.

I'm sure Sven wanted to do the same but the FA forced him into all them millions. I personally think that this sums up the difference between the two as men. My favourite non LCFC moment is when Pearce took THAT penalty against Spain. Good on him and I hope he is a total success wherever he goes.
Daggers Posted 30 May 2007 Posted 30 May 2007 Anybody that knows and loves his Punk can never be a bad bloke. I have a huge amount of time for Pearce - I really hope he goes on to be a great manager, the game needs people like him.
