Saints still haven't agreed a settlement with Adkins, who is on 'gardening leave'

Not surprising at all given that it is pretty standard practice.

 

Yep. Nothing exceptional here. Nigel will still be getting paid in the mean time, will be sure to be paid off handsomely (albeit not to the full amount of the remainder of his contract) when terms need to be agreed so that he can talk to another club.

 

If Leeds really want him then they will have to talk to both parties. Maybe the issue here is that they cannot afford to pay any kind of compensation to Saints for a man who is essentially still under contract.

Before the usual planks start piping up, how about for once taking your heads out of your backsides, and realising this is entirely standard.

 

There are dozens of examples in recent times of managers still being on gardening leave after leaving once post, before moving into another.

 

Alan pardew for one.

It's actually normal at every club.

 

He's still being paid his monthly wages, he's just not being asked to do any work.

 

Nobody ever pays up the whole of the remaining contract, as much for cash flow considerations as any other.

 

There's always a deal to be done

 

Also, I'm sure we won't be after any compensation for releasing him from the contract.

 

We'll just be looking to avoid paying some of the wages.

 

It's good business when you think about it.

 

If not Managers would sign a contract, then get sacked, get fully paid up, then get anther job, and make a killing. Sven springs to mind

And that's all this is - someone trying to infleunce the terms of whatever deal is done...

********. get a ferkin grip Cortese - you dont want him, you don't want him. Fine., But stop jerking him around.

 

When we make people redundant its because their job has gone, like Atkins. Any self-respecting person wishes them the best in their future career, thanks them for their efforts and moves on. Not Cortese, mean-spirited
