All the staff he brought with him are also leaving.

What was the alternative? Force a manager to stay who didn't want to be here anymore?

Why not?

We can, if we put conditions into the termination.

Exactly, the compromise being that we won't ask for full comp from his future employer.

That is basically what happens when someone is placed on gardening leave e.g Dan Ashworth

Not necessarily, although it's possible we did give him some sort of lump sum.

Because he doesn't want to work here anymore... Because as part of his contract termination, there would be a clause that we are due compensation.

We likely will still be due compo and we are able to get his replacement in ASAP.

Because he doesn't want to be here anymore. I think the reported compo we would be due was around £12m. We likely found a middle ground of say £6m.

Why? Did we do that with Trossard when he wanted to leave?

He clearly did not want to be our manager anymore, so it did not make sense for us to force him to stay. With mutual consent, he is now free to negotiate with who he wants and we can get a replacement in. However, as part of the mutual agreement, there is likely some figure that was agreed...

I am pretty sure his next club will still have to pay us compo.
