The £12m spent on managerial compensation is the main reason why we're stuck with McLeish, I suspect.

It's compounding the error. Like putting out a fire with Kerosene.

You dont get Frank Spencer to drive your £2m F1 car because Reubens Barichello took you to the cleaners.

Very good.

Sticking with him may well end up costing us a lot more.

McLeish signed a three year deal on £2m a year, so getting rid in the summer, if it comes to that, should cost us £4m max.

The summer might be too late.

Bargain. Best signing of the summer.

Then we'd probably give some no-mark club another few mill for the next Mike Bassett.

We don't know that, though.

We don't know what the termination clauses in his contract are.

yeah, but I suspect the people running the club can't see that.

I reckon they think he's doing a good job. That's how detached from reality they seem to me.

Surely they can't be written in such a way that it costs more to sack him than it does employ him?

Not necessarily, but we have no idea what is in there termination-wise. Nothing would surprise me.
