A formal "sacking" would require LFC to pay the full compensation package of £16m... So please stop talking nonsense as anyone with even a basic understanding of contract law will know that some of these rumours are unfounded and that the only thing that could be taking place is: 1. Inter contacted LFC to express interest in Rafa but indicated that they would be unwilling to pay compensation to LFC, and 2. The LFC board and senior players would like Rafa to leave and SO a compensation package is being prepared to present to Rafa as an honorable way to depart the managership of LFC...This does NOT indicate that Rafa has accepted the package or that he will leave...talks are precisely that...TALKS
But that is exactly what is being reported, so which bit is the 'crap' and nonsense part?
the figures they are quoting are £3mil or 4mill - thats the crap bit.
But it might not be as surely Liverpool are going to start at as low a compensation figure as they can get away with, and Rafa will probably try and get as much as he can. Although it seems low in comparison to what the Spaniard is allegedly due, it shouldn't automatically be dismissed because of that.
Now I know nothing about Contract Law but one thing is certain: regardless of what is written in his contract, I'll guarantee you that there is no way Rafa gets the £16m quoted to be in his contract.
