Mauricio Pochettino must pay £2 million to replace sacked Tim Sherwood

[gusrowe]

I think Levy will pay this.

We sell our best players too!

lol at the infamous gilet line.

Ha ha as if. If we want to sign him, we'll pay it. The suggestion that we'd make him pay it is laughable

Dick move allowing that clause though. I suppose the last owner was a friend, but still

Why must Pochettino pay to join Spurs?

Why must Pochettino pay to join Spurs?

Did you read the piece? Because there's a clause in his contract that says if he wants to leave before his contract is over, he has to personally pay up his contract, and he has a year left on his £2m-a-year contract

However, we'd presumably just pay him a signing-on fee to cover it if we wanted him, so it's pretty much a non-story, but hey. It keeps the Spurs management rumour mill spinning

Just think this is, at best, a sideways move.

I just read the headline and was playing with what it says; it says that Pochettino must pay £2m to replace Sherwood. That's a lot of money for Pochettino to pay, I'd bet.

Maybe Spurs would reimburse him for some of it.

If you want to tempt someone from another firm to come help you do well as you're in the shit, do you ask them to pay for the privilege?

If we want him, we'll pay it. If a firm said to me "We'd love you to come and manage us, but you need to pay a year's salary to do it, and we're not helping", I'd tell them where to go. And I ain't on £2m a year

Would be a seriously poor way for our club to kick things off with a new manager and not something I can see us doing at all. But hey, they've got a story out of the possibility

I would be amazed, even by the apparently Scrooge-like Daniel Levy, if Pochettino were to be out of pocket in joining us!

 

[Bennys LOL]

it wont come out of his Pochett

 

[Bennys LOL]

i'll get me coat

There will always be compensation for us to pay, unless we choose an unemployed manager. 2 million a year sounds like a lot although I'm not familar what that sort of contract.
I'm not convinced Pochettino is the right man for the job, and hope my top priority FDB doesn't have a similar clause as I believe he is contracted until 2017.

FDB has a 5mil buy out by some accounts

If we as a club pay £15m, £30m for players. Then IMHO, paying large sums of money to the most important position at the club is a no brainer.
I also agree, I'm not sure Pochettino is the right man. But hey, I remember when HR took over, it felt depressing... look how that turned out. I guess you just never know. Sometimes people just fit with a particular club.

Been posted somewhere, but watch this link and you may think he is exactly what we want

 

[TutanKlinsmann]

No thanks. I'll take FDB any time rather than this Pinocchio guy

 

[millsey]

I want fdb even though I've never seen his team play,yay!

Is Levy's wife's name Lucy, and she might have lost his pocket.

Sorry, I don't get this. He is an employee of Southampton FC, so surely the only emoluments detailed in his contract will be from Southampton FC to Pochettino. If he has to "pay up" any years remaining as per the contract, exactly who has he to pay - himself?

The only scenario in which I can imagine the employee having to pay the employer is if they took an advance/loan...or massively over-extended on annual leave!
