What's the point of signing a contract with an early termination clause then? :rolleyes:

Blackburn ordered to pay sacked boss
29 April 2013, 16:19


Indian-owned Blackburn Rovers were ordered to pay £2.25 million in compensation to former manager Henning Berg by a High Court judge on Monday.

Former Manchester United defender Berg was sacked in December by Venky's, the Indian poultry firm that owns Rovers, after just 57 days in charge of the Championship club following a run of one win in 10 matches.

Blackburn argued in court that managing director Derek Shaw acted without authority from Venky's in granting ex-Norway international Berg a three-year contract that entitled him to full payment of his agreement in the event of an early dismissal.

Venky's claimed their preference was for a 12-month notice period, but Judge Mark Pelling dismissed the notion that Shaw lacked the authority to finalise the terms of Berg's deal.

Blackburn's barrister, Neil Berragan QC, asked for permission for the club to appeal the decision but Judge Pilling dismissed the request.
