Players were generally thought to be past it at 30 but that would never happen these days. What are the chances of picking up a player of the quality of Jay Jay or Youri on a free transfer in the current era? Nil? What he saved in transfer fees he spent on wages and he had the backing to do it which was a great (albeit short term) strategy but but everything has changed since then, so using what happened in the uniquely aligned fortunate circumstances of back then as a justification to suggest he'd be any use to us now? There are no top players on free transfers available, there is no money to cover the sort of wages they'd expect even if they were available. As I said, Allardyce was the right guy in the right place at the right time - a time which has now long since passed. I'm glad he was here to continue the building work done by Rioch and Todd, but we really do have to move on from Allardyce. You'll be happy to hear that I am moving on from you. I can't waste time debating with someone who states that he/she/it believes that "Allardyce was lucky". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not know how this stands under Tupe.. if what you are referring to is a "gentlemans agreement", i am pretty sure there would be no "anderson" deal in this. all contracts would be within the club. therefore tupe stands.

It will haves been cheaper than giving him a 3 or 4 year deal since you could end up having to pay 2/3 years of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcarbon Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) A 12 month rolling contract is a continuous contract without an end date or termination date. The termination date is triggered by giving 12 months notice, by either party, and can be, as in most cases be paid in lieu of. Gardening leave is also possible, where as the person is still employed and paid by the company, but is not allowed to work or contact any other employer for the duration of his contract, such as in the case of Megson.

It wrote that he was in the right place at the right time so I guess that is lucky. Can't have been as lucky as Rioch or Todd who both had a higher win ration then him on a fraction of the budget though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn’t.. a 12 month Rolling contract only ends when one of the following occurs: The manager is sacked - he is then due 12 months compensation or paid while on gardening leave for 12 months. Or, he leaves to join another club and compensation is paid by his new employer to his old club for the termination of his 12 months contract. Or, he resigns and must settle his own 12 month contract with his club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkden White Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It surprises me in all this that Parkinson still wants to be around and has not had any other offers. In an ideal world we would get someone new in but if finances dictate we start the season with him then so be it and I for one will still be renewing. If all I've got to moan about is Parkinson's tactics then that will be a nice change compared the 1000s of other non football issues we have had to contend with.

I am saying is that the 12 months automatically ‘rolls’ into another 12 months at a given point in time, and that’s not a daily occurrence. There maybe clauses that say if you sack the individual they are entitled to 12 months pay, but you will also be able to get out for free... with enough time.... for both parties.

I think the idea is that it does renew on a daily ( or probably monthly basis). So the contract has 12 months to run at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine that it would be 3 or 6 months notice to work out the remaining time on the contract. You imagine wrongly then. In contracts of employment either party can give notice to terminate at any point (as per the notice period stated in the contract) but the notice period in rolling contracts are set as the same length as that of the contract. (for example a 6 months rolling contract - 6 months notice period, or a 2 year rolling contract - 2 year notice period). So even if you had a yearly performance review - and both sides even amicably decided to terminate the contract, it still has a further year to run in the case of Phil Parkinson's contract. No doubt the employer could pay up the 52 weeks before the year is out (or come to some agreeable deferment) but the bottom line is that the employee/Parkinson will receive a years pay from the time he receives notice to terminate from his employer/BWFC.
