Is Potter in line to receive compensation?
- Published
The contractual conditions surrounding Graham Potter's exit from West Ham have been the subject of several questions sent in via our 'Ask about West Ham' form.
Most correspondence focused on whether Potter will now receive a lucrative compensation package after his sacking.
The details of Potter's contract are not known.
However, what is known is West Ham initially wanted to offer him the job to the end of last season and then review – and Potter said no.
That can only lead to the conclusion there is compensation that will need to be paid.
To 'normal' people, it is a colossal amount of money being paid to someone who has essentially failed at their job.
But clubs could not get a manager without giving them a contract, so they know the deals they are entering into and the consequences if it does not work out.
Also, the figures involved are relatively minor given clubs get over £3m per place in the Premier League.
