The mistake is mixing the 2 sports up, I would suggest that even the lowest paid premiership manager will be on at least 20k a week which equates to a million pound a year without add ons, all the top managers presumably will be on the best part of 50k to100k a week and with those top jobs being scarce would not be in any rush to find a new job although nobody knows for certain rumours have it that with the sort of money some of these coaches are on some of the premiership clubs can't afford to pay them out in full and are more than happy to pay them weekly, conversely in the real world some of the super league coaches will be on less money than some posters on here especially if your a lorry driver, and it far more difficult to get another head coaches job therefore relying on a decent pay off as against a weekly wage so to speak bearing in mind the terms of the individuals contract, not privvy to any information but I would imagine Chester's pay off will be far easier manageable with a weekly pay day as against a one off payment.

I've not a problem with it just saying in normal working contracts there's normally a clause that prevent them working within a period for a competitor you can hardly think that chessie is going to be a threat against the club in any way
