You'd be looking at a six-figure settlement. Easy.

Can you explain why, and how you can be sure of the minimum amount? I think that might be helpful for the broader debate.

Contracted to end of 2010. No idea of his actual package, but it must surely be nearer six-figures than not per annum, if not already there? He'd be due compensation for the unexpired period of his contract. Salary and benefits for about 20-21 months must be easily into six figures?

If the contract provided for payment in lieu of notice (as opposed to just a period of notice) then there would probably be an employers' NIC liability on top.

Its a bit more complex than that obviously, and that's only from things I am qualified to comment on - and there is the duty to mitigate any loss - but that's where I am coming from.

It's 2009 isn't it. IIRC it was a three and a half year deal.

My guess is he got a revised contract somewhere along the way?

Well if that's the case then we really have reached the level of no ambition because IMO he's never justified a new one.

Thought he only had til end of 2009!

Jeez to get rid now would be £120K+ for Mac alone. If Basil , Lee the conditioner have contracts beyond 09 then you have more payouts to follow.

Paradoxically the cup exit could make mac's job safer!

If we sacked McNamara then sent a bucket round donating to the Board's wise move then we might get enough to pay him off. I'd put 100 quid in.

The dreaded "vote of confidence". He'll be gone by next week....
