How long is it?
I'm pretty sure Devlin did some good work in that respect by ensuring the club weren't tied to him for too long but does anyone remember the details?

there was a clause in there that king would do his "best endevours" to manage the team. Like the Spurs fiasco we've been waiting a long time!

It's definitely a rolling contract.
There is no excuse not to fire him, so do it now!! :beers

Yeah it is a rolling one year deal.
At any point if the he was to get sacked he would have to be paid off a years wages.

This is the downside.....if King goes people blithely assume that we will get in Wenger or someone, when the reality is it will be Reeeeeves or Walsh, or Iffy as a long shot. Now history tells us that such cut price appointments usually result in relegation the following season, this is what you would gamble, and the Board know it. For this reason unless the wheels fall off McMahon syle in the latter half of the season, we are stuck with King. |

yes reg. I don't think they will sack king, but if they did it would be at the end of the season. the club would take at least a year to get back where they were with king (if they appoint on of these managers), but if it will work in the long term then it may be worth a go.
Swindon has always gambled on unproven managers and has had mixed results. If only we could get another Hoddle....

Swindon has always gambled on unproven managers and has had mixed results. If only we could get another Hoddle.... The difference with an appointment like Hoddle, was that the previous manager left of his own choice, hence no compensation.....my understanding of a rolling contract is it commits to no more than a year of compensation, thus avoiding a Rix style situation at O*frod...where he would be eligible to 2 years of pay. When there is no compensation, then a new manager can be afforded......I would like to see Walsh go and King try and get in Harford.to be in charge of tactics etc. |

While that sounds reasonable, surely they've shot themselves in the foot somewhat as it seems unlikely he'll ever leave of his own accord? |
