    In my job, the last thing I would expect is to get a big pay-off for underperforming.

    Not to mention politicians and the chairman and executives of businesses that have failed.

    Every single perons in the country has the same right to being paid off.

    however, football managers generally have a fixed term contracts. These contracts must be paid up.


    You have a notice period. typically 1 week to 3 months. A football manager might have an effective notice period of 3 years!


    Also many people in jobs like you that are crap also get paid off. Especially in councils.

    Lots of people are **** and spend all their days on the internet posting footy stuff.

    However unions and UK labour law prevent people being simply "sacked" becuase their bosses think they are lazy and don't like them.

    you have to go through things like identifying failure and improvement plans. Try getting rid of a pregnant woman who has decided to put her feet up and toss it off without a whacking pay off.

    But to be fair, becuase football managers and bankers earn more their pay offs are more.
