Injun, I think you missed what I was saying. Which is that if you HAVE to pay the full salary for the next 5 years anyway, then you may as well utilise the guy you're paying for those next 4-5 years. In other words, you make Rafa manage the reserves, or do some other task around the football club (remember you have to pay him this salary anyway).
It would never make sense for you to pay someone their full salary and then let them walk. So it always makes sense for both parties to come to some agreement for less money. This IS how it works in industry.
He hasnt been sacked, it has been mutual consent, that why he aint entitled to 16million.
They negotiated the 6 million.
I dont think a coach like Rafa will tolerate sitting in the reserves earning the same salary as a manager, that is effectively a demotion. And these angles are covered in his contract for sure. What a disgrace to demote him to the reserves just so that you can continue using him instead of paying him out? lol demote. lol, that happens when guys misbehave in huge coporations here.
Whatever the case, he is 6 million up and free to join inter milan.
