£250k seems an incredibly large amount for them to have written into his contract when they were non-league.

It's the big if. I guess it depends who's pleading his case and who's footing the bill. Helps if it's the same person. You'd have to make a pretty good argument to pay £120,000 when free options are available - but the very fact we're chasing it suggests it's far from off the table.

Nixon: "Approach has been made for Evatt. Barrow want money up front and in full before they officially speak. Gets returned if it falls down. Compo is bigger than been mentioned before. But may yet be a compromise."

Re: New Manager Thread
Bottom line here will be if Evatt pushes this and wants to come Barrow won't have a choice and will have to reach a reasonable agreement. So I suspect this is all a series of press releases from Barrow to save face as they climb down the ladder. Hopefully. Hopefully its not an indication that we don't have the money.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 4:54 pmNixon: "Approach has been made for Evatt.

Yep, when he quit then took a job at our place. They complained he was poached, we were found guilty and fined but not ordered to pay the Pies any compo.Prufrock wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:14 pmWhen he left Notts County?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 4:43 pmWhich I can imagine we won’t be.

As Macbeth might have predicted, he then did more or less the same to us to rock up at Newcastle after a strangely recuperative few days off.

Re: New Manager Thread
We were broke - couldn't afford to pay compensation - he walked out on them to come here. Caused quite a kerfuffle at the time - was talk of legal action - not sure it ever went anywhere in the end.Prufrock wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:14 pmWhen he left Notts County?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 4:43 pmWhich I can imagine we won’t be.

Yeah, can see Evatt having resigned by the end of the day.

Re: New Manager Thread
Not sure on that speed of events - but he can (if he chooses) agitate for a move by telling the chairman to let him go for a decent fee. It would have no legal impact but it would make it clear the jig's up.officer_dibble wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:50 pmYeah, can see Evatt having resigned by the end of the day.
However, what's a bit weird about this is that they've not even interviewed him yet - although they've evidently had some contact, and presumably enough of a meeting of minds to consider paying the bunce.

Re: New Manager Thread
They won’t interview him. I suspect that the game is ask Evatt to negotiate a reasonable compromise to allow him to come here for ‘talks’. I can’t see us paying quarter of a million and it will come down to how far Evatt wants to push this.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:02 pmNot sure on that speed of events - but he can (if he chooses) agitate for a move by telling the chairman to let him go for a decent fee.

Re: New Manager Thread
I think the Cumbrian press were reporting that we'd have to pay the fee up front if we wanted to approach him, but if we couldn't ultimately agree terms with IE then the money would be refunded.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:02 pmNot sure on that speed of events - but he can (if he chooses) agitate for a move by telling the chairman to let him go for a decent fee.

Re: New Manager Thread
I cannot see us being able to pay a quarter of a million up front I just cannot. We’ve just let our CEO go because we needed to save money. People need perspective. That’s probably two or three months running costs possibly more in league two. Barrow will need to negotiate and it will need Evatt to force this issue.

Re: New Manager Thread
Yep. I just mean that for us to take it this far - approaching an employed manager - means it must be at least a possibility, or it's waste of everyone's time and potentially a pre-damnation of the guy who gets the job. Imagine we now hire Jolley: he'd be seen as the cheap option. Personally I applaud the wide-thrown net and I think that chasing employed managers shows some determination.

Re: New Manager Thread
Haha how the f*ck do they stop him driving to a meeting with our lot? He’s number one, he’ll join us unless we decide not to pay for him. There is no paying to interview him!

Iles seems to be suggesting that we always wanted Evatt and rest was for show and Nixon is saying club had wrong information previously on compensation amount required and it’s higher than we thought.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:42 pmYep.

No. What it might show is why the process is weird.

Re: New Manager Thread
More likely the other way round, no? It feels a lot like the official approach for Evatt has happened in the last 24 hours, perhaps even today. The freebie interviews were beforehand. That suggests none of them wowed the panel into parsimony, although like you I think we're far from certain to get Evatt. Not only are we far from rich, but if he makes clear he wants out we might yet get gazumped by another club in search of a manager.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Jun 24, 2020 7:02 pmNo. What it might show is why the process is weird.

I'm going to give the Board the benefit of the doubt over what they think they can/can't afford to do. They managed to get a pretty complex takeover, over the line.

Re: New Manager Thread
I find it curious that we reportedly thought the compensation figure was lower than it is. It can't be written into Evatt's contract as I assume we got our information from his agent, who will surely know the details. That must mean it's just a figure they've come up with, which will presumably be negotiated down.
