When he was no longer required to manage CFC, he still had a contract and the club had to keep paying the salary.
However, when he accepted the managers job at spurs, CFC no longer had to pay the salary.
Spurs saved CFC about 12m in wages.
Just for clarity, also included in these contracts is a clause requiring the former manger to keep applying for jobs realistically within his grasp - Chelsea presumably didn't expect AVB to be unemployed that long so it wasn't a great worry.

you guys probably see the contracts I imagine... :rolleyes:
What are people thinking like speculation, that Joe Kinnear will end as manager, well if thats the case, i give him 3 months, before he gets health problems again

It certainly looks that way.
JFK is on record stating that he would only take a "director of football role" with a view to getting the managers job!
Pardew is in a seemingly untenable position. He looks incredibly weak if he stays having been embarrassed by the club.
I agree with you, but i wouldnt give him 3 months. If JFK starts the season as manager, the reception he will get from the "idiots" will surely be 100% negative.

Joe Kinnear is at risk of health problems, im sure his doctors and loved ones, would try to make him see, that being a manager wouldnt be the greatest of ideas

He seems so confrontational too.
He is hardly a calming influence on the club, the fans or himself.
Ive never seen anyone with as big a chip on their shoulder. The guy has been borderline useless throughout his career and he cannot seem to accept that!
It's still amusing to think a few hours ago people were genuinely concerned JK was having a mental breakdown in public, rather than accept it as true. Yes, the whole thing is that mad.
You're back Newcastle; the comedy kings of the Prem!

If Kinnear is 'in charge of football matters' - as was announced - and he decides on the transfers .... why do they need Pardew? Isn't Kinnear now a manager in all but name?
Need to stop going on about this 8 year contract. It was a publicity stunt pure and simple, They wanted to say "ohhhh look at us we giving a manager a long term contact go us". It is like most contracts today in football and not worth the paper its printed on.
Ashley has either done this to get rid of the current manager or he still has no clue how to run a football club and not learnt from his mistakes or he has fallen under the spell of the greatest football manager in the world and acutally believes the rubbish we have heard the last couple of days.
What price Pardew being the first manager to bite the bullet in the EPL ... his odds must be shortening as I type this.
Ashley really is a fat slug of a man and this is simply a plot to get shot of the manager - can't be anything else as this appointment has got nothing but "failure" written all over it.
Apparently in Joe Kinnear's years of experience and expertise, his superior intelligence doesn't extend to knowing how to pronounce his own players names, remembering how many games he played for Spurs, or getting his facts right on which players he signed and for how much

And yet you are the one who was factually incorrect, stating that Chelsea were still paying their ex manager!
Anyway, this is getting off topic.
Odds on to go next!

^^ This.
Not exactly great PR for Newcastle though! It'll end in tears
Cheers for putting me off my tea :eek:
