12 months rolling or long term deal

all depends on who it is, but I would tend to go for the rolling contract just now, as we cannot afford to keep paying compensation.
 
Should be a rolling contract maybe 18 months to start with 1 yearly thereafter.
If the new proposed Manager is all ready employed then he would probably be looking for something more secure to entice him to move.
The Candidates that are not employed at moment will accept shorter contracts and the 1 year roll on offer and wont have the added compensation package thrown in.

Lots off things for the Board to take into account as they draw up their Shortlist.
 
The contract length will be telling of the board's plans... we really need to win the league within the next 3 years to put a stop to Celtic getting 10 in a row.

We can pretend all we like, but if that happens it will be a sickener.

The next manager is either the board's stop gap to solidify 2nd for a couple of seasons, or THE man they think will guide us back to a league title.

Not sure how that works with a rolling contract...
 
There's always a trade off to consider. If someone comes in with a reputation and the deal is a 12 month rolling contract then their monthly take home will be higher. Let's just imagine Pedro took home 10K a week on his 3 year deal. If it was a 12 month rolling contract his take home pw might be 20K +. Just a different way to structure a deal.
Personally I like longer term contracts. It shows commitment and confidence by both parties.
 
While we are all probably sick of new projects the next manager will essentially be given both a short and, dependent on how that goes a longer term project.

In the short term he has to take Pedro's squad and turn it in to a cohesive and effective team which can compete in the SPL and in the Scottish Cup.

He has to heal the rifts, deal with any cliques and develop a team spirit. Pedro's purchases will have to be a part of that.

IBy the end of the season he will need to have decided who has a part to play in our future, who should be brought in and what our footballing style will be.
 
This rolling contract thing puts the ball in our court and tells the guy coming in - if you're successful the job is yours. For me it would weed out the clowns.
 
The manager needs to know you have confidence in them and that they have your full backing, 12-month rolling sends the wrong signal to the manager and the players.

It should be a 2-3 year contract, but it has to be measured against success and milestones with an option to terminate if goals aren't reached.
 
You insert a clause in the contract that says in the event of dismissal the guy is entitled to x. If he leaves for another club the compo is y.
Sorted.
 
I'd go for the rest of this season and next. As good as a rolling then we can take it from there if they have done enough.

Rodgers was a rolling in his first season with them I'm sure.

The problem is if you want the manager it'll be on terms agreeable to him. Agreeable to the club too but if you think it's a straight forward matter of stating this is what you get in the event of being sacked ... it isn't.

Obviously it's an agreement. It'll depend on both parties and the confidence they have in it succeeding.
 
Football seems to be the one industry where its now standard to have buyout clauses higher than the value of the contract for a set period of time.

For example, most contacts will state that it would cost £X to be bought out of contract after a certain period of time, but that is usually a percentage of the time remaining divided by the salary during that time.

Agents must be laughing all the way to the bank.
 
We are a club that needs rebuilding, there is no point in bringing in a manager who you don't think can do that job.
If we do we will always be rebuilding.
If we get someone in for 18mths then rolling, usually the rolling time (12mths) is also there notice period or payoff amount, so if we go that way we are giving the next manager a 2.5 year contract anyway.
In short if you are not sure about a manager to give him a 3 year or in our case a 2.5 year contract then the answer is, do not bring him in.
Get the right man in with an initial 2.5 year contract to show you trust him then if all's well then move onto a rolling deal and hopefully one of his assistants is the right man to carry on a (please god) a successful period in our history.
 
The way we are going through Managers it has to be a rolling contract. To compound the mistake of giving Pedro the job the bangers on the board gave him a 3 year contract that has just cost us to get rid of him.
