' £4Mill to Sack Derby Manager '

Phillip Cocu is on thin ice at Derby but out-going owner Mel Morris is reluctant to sack him as it would cost him up to £4m. (Daily Mirror)

I'm sure Mr Morris would have been the one who gave Cocu the contract in the first place so he can't really moan.

£4m for failing at your job - nice work if you can get it.

Football really needs this reality check if that's the deal a championship club agreed with a manager.

Its mad that there arnt clauses in manager contracts to say if they arnt meeting expectations they can be removed from the position without paying out all their contract. This guy could potentially be paid 4mill for essentially doing a terrible job. He could be back in another managerial position in a few months getting paid on another contract in addition to the payout.
