OGS - CCFC contract sounds very iffy

Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:21 am

The 12 month rolling contract sounds very iffy to me with a if they get relegated a release clause. IMO it seems that Ole is just coming for the money and money only. If we get relegated he's gonna walk out on us ? Just my opinion sounds very iffy I'm still a bit gutted about Malky but this appointment has me worried to some degree :malky: :ayatollah:

I don't blame Solskjaer to be honest, would you sign a long term contract after the circus that has been going on over the last 6 weeks?. If Tan keeps his nose out of things and lets Solskjaer get on with it and we avoid relegation then i think he will commit to a full term contract.

Nobody has a clue about his contract. Do you band about your work contract, wage and exit package to everyone, especially just as you sign it?

The papers need a story as cardiff getting ole is far to positive. Let's wait for the press conference and see if his contract length is disclosed. If it is a rolling contract it could be very sensible for both parties and is becoming more common within management.

A return to the infamous rolling contract it seems!!! This whole eposide of getting a new manager in and probably new backroom staff will end up costing the club more than the players who Tan has accussed Malky of wasting money on!!!

This is a good contract for Cardiff as well,if it doesn't work out ole goes without a big pay off,if he keeps us up he gets rewarded.Makes good sense to me,if ole's happy and City's happy then i don't see a problem.

No a rolling contract means that he would require at least a years payoff if he is manager!!! You weren't around during the Dave Jones years then were you..?

But on the bright side Malky is no longer our manager.

And that's better than a 2 or 3 year pay off.Like i said without a big pay off,Not very bright are you.

The only way you would get a 2/3 year pay off is if the manager was given at least a 4 year contract which would be very unlikely!!! A pay off is only the remainder of the contract which is left whereas a rolling contract will ensure that there will never be an end to the contract

and so guarantees the best deal city could get should things not work out with ole.You got there in the end. :thumbup:

Actually these days when sacked, most managers are kept on the wage each month, and when they take up a new job the wage stops . It's either that or they come to an arrangement over a on off payment.

Agreed but its the same thing really, the manager still gets paid their wage until the end of the contract rather than a payment up front. The same outgoing will happen through

IF it is a 12 month rolling contract,financially it suits Cardiff.

All depends on the length of contract given

Re: OGS - CCFC contract sounds very iffy

Its probably a good thing for everyone concerned.

However of he does amazingly well its safe to say he will be off as its a rolling contract is perfect to use as a stepping stone.

warren,i think how it works is that if ole left if you went down im sure the club involved when he goes would be liable to pay you a years worth of his wages as compo.if tan goes and sacks him he owes ole a year worth of wages.it,s rolling from today.tomorrow he still has a year left not 364 days.im sure blues had this with hughton.when he left we got compo for him .dont forget if ole goes it,s all of his team who go if he,s hired them not just him.people forget that.a manager may be on 250k a yr.then his staff etc.personally i doubt he,d join knowing relegation is a threat just to leave if you went down.people like bruce were offered jan till june off wolves to save them last time in the prem.who on earth will except that to have a relegation on there cv that in truth wasnt their fault?the only people who may except a 6mnth contract are blokes like big ron or el tel because a relegation aint going to affect them at their age.

Not really. Every day he has a year left on his contract. Unlike for example Moyes who let his contract run down and walked away form Everton without Man Utd needing to pay any compo. Your right though this does suit both parties.

Yes he said he always wanted to get back to the Premier League, but remember he turned down Villa last season

From what I remember he turned them down because of his family, if you watch the press conference he says it took a lot to convince his family to move to Cardiff. When he was manager of Molde FK none of that was a problem because he was already home.

The Villa job came too early for him. He had only just moved his family back to Molde and they didn't want to move so soon, once again. :thumbup:

A rolling contract is a contract that continues automatically unless someone decides to end it, in this instance a time limit of 12months has been quoted as the agreed time for this contract, after which the contract will be reviewed.
