Warnock Demands £1M From QPR

Compensation doesn't work that way, it is meant to put the claimant in the position they would have been in had the situation not changed. If you were made redundant you wouldn't wait until your pay off cash ran out before looking for another job.

"Can't get round the old minimum wage Randolph!"

 

Football is different than most jobs. Especially as the contract is a fixed term and not ongoing. Hes not allowed to get another job while we are paying him.

 

pay him he deserves it, or he might open up a twitter account !!!

 

Pay him the man is a QPR legend.

 

There will be a lot more to this than we are all aware of. I trust the clubs owners to strike the right balance. We don't have the odd million to be chucking around but he will probably be entitled to some compensation. In the normal world you don't get a pay off for being sacked but football is some how different. If NW had lost the respect of the team and there were significant issues the owners may rightly feel paying the full amount is wrong. NW's argument was that we were above the relegation zone which was what had been asked for. I would have accepted that argument had the results been mixed up more. However we were in free fall on a terrible run with no sign of improvement and relying on having got points early on. Based on that the club should negotiate and they'll probably come to an amicable agreement in the middle. Bung him £500,000 and be done with it!

 

and eyebrow transplants don't come cheap either, give the man the money

 

i can't believe there f***ing him about pay him the money he earnt it

 

Why? He's entitled to be paid his wage for the duration of the contract but the club shouldn't automatically have to give him a massive payout. If he wants it that way it's logical that the club would want to give a smaller amount.

 

But he hasn't earnt it? He has and is still being paid his full wage. As I say we don't know the full ins and outs and probably never will. What we are negotiating on is how much of his remaining contract to pay him. I for one don't want a return to silly financial behaviour that ultimately saddles the club with debt. If we chuck him the full million then thats a million we don't have to spend on further player investment. Much as I appreciate what NW did I know where I would rather the money go now. I support QPR and they are the present!

 

If Warnock was on megabucks and had three years to go on his contract you could understand the club baulking at paying up the full amount, however, with 18 months to go on a £750k a year contract after he'd been promised an improved contract following promotion you'd expect them to pay up the remainder without too much arguing. The profits his success brought the club are immeasurable in the grander scheme of things and in view of settlements paid to previous managers who couldn't hack it their parsimonious attitude leaves a nasty taste. They should pay up with a bonus...

 

I thnk we should pay NW. ater all, we get sky money for two years and that must add up to something like £60 mill...money we may not have got IF NW hadn't managed to get the team promoted.

 

Not that I particularly disagree, but to play devil's advocate it's irrelevant if he was promised an improved contract. Nobody's stopping Warnock from picking up £15k a week to do nothing if he so chooses but the club shouldn't be forced to stump up 1 1/2 year's wages in one go. If he goes to Leeds, for example, having negotiated a £1m payoff (not too shabby) he'll be better off financially anyway.

I sympathise with the position he was in and I think we were desperately unlucky in many of his games this season and were handicapped for the first few due to the old board. Still, the funds he did have to spend weren't used very well and a bonus on top of the standard promotion bonus would be inappropriate imo.

 

your having a f***ing laugh, he has more than earnt it, the ****e he put up with when Tango & Cash ran the club and he still got us promoted,pay him and stop f***ing him about

 

He won't be better off financially at Leeds under Bates!...

 

I wouldn't call giving him the choice of picking up 15k a week or picking up a one-off payment of several hundred thousands of pounds '****ing him about'.

 

he had a contract, they broke it, pay him and move on

 

This is an article in the Mail that is probably getting blown out of all proportion to the reality. If he had 18 months left on a contract worth K£ 750 a year, and he has had his contract terminated without any breach of contract on his side, I cannot see the Club having any reason whatsoever not to pay him the rest of his contractual earnings due, but of course not more than that based on some unfinalised future contract negotiation. I expect this will be sorted amicably, probably there are only details (huge amounts of £'s that most of us never see!) to be finalised.

 

But they are paying him. They're just giving him the choice to have it as he was, monthly, or up front with a bit knocked off as would be expected. The Mail then throw in a phrase like 'bitter pay dispute' and it becomes a story.

Not that there's a very good comparison in the real world but if you're hired on a contract of £1000 a week and with a six weeks to go you're no longer required it wouldn't be reasonable to expect £6000 in your bank account the next day. You'd probably be offered £4000 or told you can receive the weekly payments as you were before.

 

the guy wants to work and cant until he sorts out his final settlement, they should pay up his contract and thank him for the stirling job he has done getting this club to its lofty position,with out him there would not have been a promotion and therefore may still be lumbered with the goons,pay him its the least they should do.

 

And he should be applauded for that but if the club can save a few hundred grand then they should. If he's that keen to take another job then he'll be better off for taking a big lump sum and being on a decent wage. If he's willing to wait it out a bit then he has the option to do so. I don't see what the club is doing wrong.
