It's quite a common situation and one which
ALL aspiring managers need to prepare and be prepared for.
It's quite common place now for managerial contracts to contain penalty clauses and review periods that are put in within the express intention of making removing the incumbent cheaper for the employer. Points targets to be attained per stipulated groups of games; league positions that determine how much compensation is due weighted in the club's favour for lower ones and especially the relegation spots so from you can take it from this that there has never been a 'cheaper' time to sack the manager than this week.
Deny the manager you want rid of funds, and you effectively make him cheaper to sack; do you get my drift?
Yet all this is with the approval of the League Managers' Association, the 'trade union' of the team bosses, their assistants and coaches.
Of course Nicho would have heard; I personally know of only one manager who's sacking came as a complete and utter shock to him and such a shock that he decided there and then never to apply for another job in football again after a lifetime playing and more latterly managing in the game and in doing so achieving the targets he was set, but he fell foul of the desire for a much courted new investor in the club who wanted a different manager in that he lost his job............came back to bite that club on the arse though as their intended investor renaged on his word and never joined the board!
