Our first trophy.

not going to pay out over £50m to replace two different managerial teams in one season though are we?

I wouldn't have thought so, but then I've n idea how deep the purse is?

well if we were having to pay compensation to another club for our new manager then we could end up spending £70m on managerial teams in six months!

that's almost two Gylfi Sigurdsson's!

How do you get to 50M compensation?

Was told Koeman and his staff got £35m between them

If Allardyce is sacked then him and his back room staff will get around £15m if it's in May, rough guess

Then paying any compo deal for the new boss...

35M??? What in god's name did he get paid that. Absolutely ludicrous. there must be serious grounds for contract breach. i would so lawyer that up and settle it out of court.

Could see we’ve spent £35m in sacking RM; compensation to get RK out of Southampton; then sacking him; then compensation for Allardyce to Palace.

Don’t think Sunday will tell us anything we don’t know tbh

When you add in Roberto's compo we must have pissed a small fortune on managers recently. We possibly could have got Pep & Mourinho instead of Koeman for 3-4 years for the same cost.

Compensation would have been to Allardyce to cover what he was entitled to, if out of work for x amount of time, so Palace no longer owed it.

Koeman would have had break clauses in contract, but as we needed to attract him and had high hopes, they were probably quite loose. So we might have had to wait until new year, and the points total or bar for breaking the contract, might have been quite low or ambiguous.

No doubt spending big money on the right managerial appointment can be the best money spent. With Koeman and Allardyce as the recruits, that's patently not the case.
