I got 3/1 on Chesterfield winning today as it was entirely inevitable after that contract announcement.
In fact, just remembered I told everybody on Confguide to do likewise. Wonder if anybody did.
Lame.

If ever we were going to do this, it'd be for Revs - the definition of the right man in the right place. Wonderful news. Peace of mind all round!

Only reason I can think that he’s signed a huge contract is PW knows clubs are sniffing about.
He’s had a fantastic start to the season. Done okay last season and his first spell was terrible.
Be a hefty bit of money having to be paid if Revs is ever sacked.

No mention of Cuthbert or Banfield , wonder if they are just on rolling contracts or a lesser version of Revs new contract..Sure when all 3 were announced when appointed nothing was said then as well.

A 5-year contract, at this level, for a club like ours, is pretty rare, maybe even unprecedented (for us).
A really am impressed with Revs but I'm worried that if the wheels come off in a few years we're left with quite the bill to pay him off.
Can't see it happening but the worry is there.

Such a move can only suggest the club are massively worried about losing him. Never thought I'd see the day we give a manager a 5 year contact.
Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

Wonder if the contract specifies 5 years as manager of 5 years of employment.
Anyway, even if you have to pay off say 2 years of the contract, I can't imagine he's on millions, so it would be a manageable hit.
I like the thought of having a manager for that long though. These days the turnover of managers at clubs is crazy and I'd love us to be different and give a manager time to carry out a long term project.

If the wheels were to fall off (aka bad season), reckon Wallace knows it won't be for lack of effort, diligence or quality on Revs' side. And we *know* he can learn and adapt. In essence, PW is treating Revs how he'd treat any highly valued senior employee.
Put it this way: who else would PW want as manager. Like out of *anyone* else? He'd pick Revs wouldn't he

Generally, if you sack a manager part way through their contract you only have to keep paying them until they get their next job.
So if he was out of work for 6 months, you'd only pay 6 months wages even if the contract had 3 years to run.
I think.

All comes down to the termination clause, it could be 6 months in which case 5 years is irrelevant and is probably done to stir up hype in him with a big buy out clause...

So the 5 years protects us from him being poached but not him - his only protection is the termination clause?

Maybe yes but I am assuming the new termination clause is much better to us if he got poached or him if he gets sacked.

Exactly. Each one is different. I remember hearing that a certain ex manager who didn't last long before Steve made more of a fuss about his out clause than his actual deal......

Wasn't Alan Pardew being paid by Newcastle for 8 years despite getting the sack 2 years into the contract?

It could also be loaded with performance bonuses and stuff like that, which means the total payoff (should it be needed) won't be as horrendous as it could be.

I can’t recall us handing out a five year contract at any time in our history.
It’s a statement. Protects our investment in Revs if he carries on his current trajectory. There’s always a risk he won’t but there’s a risk in everything.

I was wondering if we'd ever handed out one. Did GW ever get anything like that from us?
I also wonder if it comes with a release clause and what we'd set that at. Surely got to be up at around £1 million at least.

quite a hefty fee for a executive box for his family i believe the story was, until it was looked into by some governing body, something to with value for money on the "investment"
but yes it was muted that some of the players were contracted to his company in some way or other

Pretty certain he didn’t.
Few three year contracts handed out to players on our last foray into League One I believe but after how that turned out we’ve been reticent to do so again.
A five year contract to anyone would usually be quite concerning for me but we’ve been getting these things more right than wrong for a while now so on the face of it this is positive news.

If we carry on punching way above our weight Revs will be at a big L1/Championship club in the next few years. But also If my nan had a pair of bollocks she would be my grandad.
