Contracts

A new system has been set up for contract offers now. Previously you got an offer by email with club, wage, and extra funds on it to decide what you wanted to do. A new system has been set up along the following lines:

Dear ______ manager,

 

The board at ______ believe you are the right person to ________________________.

 

Contract Offer

 

Club: ______

Wage/year: £__ million

Contract Length: End of season __

Bonus Investment: £__ million if promoted/survive relegation/win a trophy.

 

Clauses

 

Promotion Wage Rise to £__ million

Relegation Wage Drop to £__ million

Optional one season extension for manager

Optional one season extension for chairman

Relegation Release Clause

 

Your choices are to accept with immediate effect, negotiate terms of the offer, or reject the offer all together. Please reply with your decision as soon as possible.

 

Regards

 

______  board

The areas in red are optional, the underscored areas are where values, targets or club names are added. This will tie managers into contracts. Should a manager want to move while under contract the purchasing team would have to buy out the remaining contract. Managers would be able to use their own wages amassed to buy out a contract they no longer want to fulfill.

Impact for managers:

The idea behind this is to stop people randomly job hopping when seasons start badly. If you're at a small club you have no intention of staying with for long, sign 1 season contracts to give you freedom to leave at the end of the season. 

Impact for chairmen:

Managers will have the security that they will be entitled to the rest of their contract being paid, or compensation being paid, into their wages fund if a club chooses to sack them before the end of their current contract. The only limit to this is that managers not acting in the clubs interest (ie. selling players off cheap to friends, purposefully trying to be sacked, or cheating) will get zero compensation if sacked, this can be taken to the FA Court (see rules).

The first of these offers will go out today to 2 managers. All managers will have to sign one of these before the end of this season, be it from a new club or from your current club clarifying your current contract details in the new format.

If you have any other clauses you'd like to see added, please comment in this thread and I will check back.

Richard.

If you own a club you can copy the above form, fill in the blanks, delete the red parts as you see fit, then email it to your manager to get an agreement. All I ask is that both chairman and manager email me the agreed terms when an agrement is reached, so I can log it.

Richard.

Something I have mentioned a number of times in the past so I would support a version of this being introduced into the game. As well as cutting down on the wandering tribe of managers it will also cut down on people dithering about when in charge of a club - as it will focus them on particular targets.

PS Also glad to see Luke is in favour of it as it increasingly looks like Everton and Coventry will be going up from the Championship this year..........so Luke might be looking for a new contract for next season!

To clarify, there are 2 limits to offers before they go out.

A amount of money limit, ie. a club might offer £5 million wages and have a limit of £6 million, so if the manager renegotiates the wages, this offer could rise up to £6 million, any further renegotiation would push the offer over the £6 million limit causing the board in question to pull out. This top limit is obviously unknown to the manager.

The other limit is the number of times you can negotiate. If the limit is 1, that means 1 email offer will go out, if its negotiated by the manager the club will pull out as it'll have reached its limit. If the limit is 5, the board can update their offer a further 4 times after their initial contract offer if the manager keeps trying to negotiate before accepting. Also this obviously is unknown to the manager.

These 2 limits are set before the initial offer is made. Most often these are due to how much cash the club/chairman has available to get a new manager in. Managers need to be aware - as it does say in the new offers - that negotiating brings the risk of exceeding a limit and as such having the board pull out of the negotiations.

This is realistic, and even playing games like Football Manager series you have these hidden limits to stop people endlessly pushing their luck in negotiations.

You have been warned!!

Richard.

if a manager quits a club am i right in thinking that the chairman of a club that was to offer the manager a job wouldn't have to pay compo to the club he left?
