From how I understand it they’re not technically sacked, more like put on gardening leave.
I could be wrong but I think JE is still classed as an employee of the club.
Whatever the executional details, I'm still under the impression that an employee is entitled to his severance. If my contract says, we'll employ you for a year and pay you a million quid for it and my employer sacks me after a day, I'm still entitled to all the dough. I think.
Haven’t we been paying 3 or more managers at once previously?
And presumably a reason why Graham Potter isn’t working
Although the above info is largely correct .... some contracts are different. I think (but don't know) that it usually depends on how much a club is chasing you and whether or not that puts you in the ascendency when negotiating terms etc.
Potter's contract was definitely different, he made sure it was.
Under the terms he could have remained on the Chelsea payroll for the entire contract length - costing Chelsea £50 million in total - but instead took a negotiated payout of £12,775.000 (all tax paid) due to the terms he had got negotiated into his contract - and if you add in his salary whilst in the job (tax was payable on this) and other payments (also tax payable) to lure him there he ended up just shy of £19,5000,000 better off from the brief 7 month period
When you consider that it's only a few years ago that he was being supported by his wife Rachel and some family members whilst doing an Open University degree and earning some bits of money coaching at Hull University that's a hell of a turnaround
