£50 MILLION to sack Big Sam
-
NEWCASTLE'S billionaire owner Mike Ashley will have to pay out a staggering £50MILLION to sack manager Sam Allardyce. Ashley will spend the weekend weighing up his options amid mounting turmoil at St James' Park.
Under-fire Allardyce was fuming after Salomon Kalou's blatant ‘offside' goal sealed United's 2-1 defeat at Chelsea. He stormed: "Managers are losing their jobs sooner than ever and that means there is even more pressure on decisions. That was a horrid decision. I wouldn't mind being fined for criticising but what is the point?
"The Chelsea player was three yards offside. It is certainly the worst decision against me this year. But referee Mike Riley should have gone over to linesman Mike Cairns and given him time to change his mind."
A Newcastle insider declared: "It will cost Ashley a fortune to get rid of Allardyce and find a replacement." Ashley would have to fork out £7.5m to pay up the remaining two-and-a-half years of Allardyce's £3m-a-season deal.
That figure will rise to a staggering £20m to pay off the huge backroom team which Allardyce brought in. Any new manager would want at least a £10m contract to take over — plus a £20m transfer kitty. -
50 million pound?!?!?! wtf? -
when is sam so expensive? if newcastle want terminate owen contract only need 20M pounds sia...
-
He came with a huge backroom team...
So must pay all of them as well...
He makes Jose mourinho's $12m payoff looks like a good deal afterall...

LOL!!! "er lose leh.. lose i get 50M pounds leh.. i split with all of u 1m each lah"
HE CAn'T WAIT TO BE SACK! -
it is long overdue that newcastle go for a manager with winning track records. they have spent many millions without qualifying for even a cup final, let alone win anything.
thats pathetic!!!!!
-
give him a chance...
yes, he is not the flashy manager like keegan who plays alot of attacking football, but like in Bolton, get results.
I think he is gradually getting results from all his scientific approaches, and I believe the longer Sam is in his job, the better newcastle will improve in the long run.
What's the point of getting a new manager, getting new players, and everything starts from nought again?? -

50m includes = 7.5m for big sam, 12.5 for the staffs he brought in, 10m to recruit new manager, 20m for new manager to purchase his playersOriginally posted by dragg:newcastle have sacked big sam.
