The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[TBM]

BM got a couple of mill off of us last year and will get the same this time. On the bright side, he's sorted for life now and out of a horrible club.

Couple of million? - how much do you think he was on

[Mr Optimist]

Uncle Fester to Festa.

Fair to say it hasn't gone down well with the fans.

Says the King of Dodd's when it comes to hot gossip. But sorry anyway - I don't go on the Team Board

Besides - my point about the time was that was when it was posted in the BBC so people could find it, not to say when I posted it. Hang on - why the feck am I arguing with Kes? #shootmeplease

Any one of us would live with the sack and £1m in the bank.

A couple of weeks in the Seychelles would help ease the pain.

He's heard rumours obviously

It cost three million to pay off Brian and his close staff that went at the same time

Source, J M himself. Have posted this figure before, and also said was part of the reason he did not want to sack him. Two years were left, and annual salary and million a year.

[Ralph Jolly]

Apparently GFH are trying to re-instate McDermott as the Italian takeover was not complete. Shambles

[sputnik]

Brian back in charge apparently

[Blue Hooped Moose]

Brian back in charge apparently

Sauce?

EDIT: just seen it on BBC. What a shambLOLes of a club! Are they doing this because the sacking would have been illegal? Suspect if and when the takeover does go through that he'll end up getting the boot anyway

[genome]

The bookies must be tearing their hair out... are they allowed to ask for winnings back that they presumably paid out last night on his sacking?

LOL @ this from earlier today

Cellino, 57, is close to taking a 75 per cent stake in the Championship club, subject to Football League approval. And Cagliari owner Cellino has taken no time in dispensing with the services of McDermott, just nine months into his three-year contract at Elland Road.
In an exclusive interview, Cellino said: “I spoke with Brian earlier in the week and gave him the chance for the challenge. I don’t know him, but told him I would be coming in and he would have the chance to build something special and work with a lot of money.
“In the end we didn’t have any choice though because he did everything to get fired. He gave me no choice.
“He started an argument with everyone. He was talking with the papers, with everyone, which was not fair. He made it impossible. I want a coach for the club, not a manager.”
Cellino was cagey when asked whether former Middlesbrough defender Gianluca Festa, a close ally, would be replacing McDermott at the Yorkshire club on a permanent basis.
“Gianluca is a nice guy but he wasn’t in my plans before all of this … Leeds are a special club who have had difficult times. But what is beyond question is that the club’s fans are very, very special.”

How long do we give this buyout to last?

[Sanguine]

Apparently in 22 years as owner of Cagliari, Cellino has appointed 36 managers/coaches, including once 3 in 3 days.

Show me quotes and I'll happily concede

The guardian says this
"As he was employed on a one-year rolling contract, McDermott's pay-off may not be as extravagant as it might have been"
