So if this contract clause story of RM having six months 'stay of execution' and it triggering a lower payout afterwards; by my estimation, his six months 'probation' as such ends early November?

Meanwhile he loses the club income in Europa games and attendances which will amount to more than the savings in a discounted pay off … it doesn't make financial nor football sense .

Friday 5th December is 6 months from his joining date of 5th June.

Surely he can go on gardening leave to get round this?

It's 3.3 million to get rid of Martin. TBH it sounds worth it. That's the whole 3 year deal. As long as they get the right guy next time.

Take the gate money off Diesel, have that 3.3m in 5/ 6 games mate, before thinking about qualifying for the knock outs in the Europa, semi final against them in a few weeks as well.

Not true. He has 3 more games and is under a lot of pressure. I would suggest if he doesn't win all 3 we will have a new manager in place when we return from the international break.

Diesel if it's 3.3m for Martin… how much is it for all the back too staff to go with him…. Probably a good few million for that lot aswell….

Its still 3.3M off our budget which is a catastrophe either way we look at it. Counts towards FFP rules or whatever they are called these days too.

Just delaying the inevitable, no one wants him and I will not be back until he's gone like thousands of others, if some think it can't get worse it can and their is not an inkling of it looking better, a think his short spell has ruined the chance of some of the new players being excepted because of the woeful tactics.

Very much doubt we pay his whole contract if sacked. Just look at clause in pc contract so I call that 💩.

Move him to the boot room licking his wounds for remainder.

Lol, £3m is a lot when you've got £10m to pay for Chermiti!

Martin will absolutely be holding off to get his contract paid up, because as things stand he is going to be totally unemployable as a manager at a decent level. League 1 England probably.

They said they had £20m to spend, spent under £8m net so plenty left to settle on payment for the 3 problems Stewart, Thelwell and Martin then find proper replacements except the Thelwell position which is not needed.

According to transfermarkt
Arrivals/ Departures Fee
Income 23 €27.73m
Expenditure 19 €29.71m
Overall balance €-1.98m
Was the 20 mill not to stablilise the club and not for transfers.
lot of fans thought OOOh 49ers owners coming in, we will be awash with cash now, reality check, not the case.
they have 2 busineses to run and maintain that take priority over us, as they are bigger earners with bigger potential than us.
1 - San Fran 49ers.
2 - Leeds Utd.
3 - Us.
If they need to sacrifice an investment to save the another it will be us for the chop to save Leeds if that goes belly up.
Not saying that will happen soon, but anything is possible.
