How do Assistant Manager and other staff contracts work....would we have had to pay Paul Wilkinson, Paddy Kenny and John Harbin out of their contracts? The people that JE has appointed were they all out of work or have we had to buy them out of their contracts from other clubs?
No idea ... much like with the appointment of JE it will depend on what clauses were written into each contract
The norm is for the sacked party to take a severance payment due to the tax benefits and gives them a clean break from the contract.
Some might take a full wage until they get another job and then negotiate a pay off to free them from that contract to take another job.... could be a lump sum or a weekly payment.
Same with players who leave via a mutual termination ...
