How does a coach get sacked if his contract is expiring?
When he says that he may not be finishing as coach and the governing body put out an announcement saying he's finished?
I think FVH has been more critical than I expected and with talk of board meetings after the team no show with the media and fairly decisive action here, maybe Ricki won't end up with the technical director role that we've been expecting?
Ay? He did an interview in the afternoon saying he was standing down. After that interview aired, NZF put out their press statement.
, maybe it happened like this:
1) Ricki believes that he holds all the cards and does interview hinting he might stay on
2) NZF have a quiet word to him and tell him that there is no chance he is staying on
3) Ricki gives interview he is going to stand down
Would be a little like this:
1) Phoenix board tell Ricki that he has been relieved of his duties, but will announce it as moving him to a Director of Football Consultant
2) Ricki says that is not happening , and if they want shot of him they will have to pay out his full contract
3) board say that due to him breaching his contract he is getting no pay out and an either be sacked or move to a Football Consultant position.
4) Ricki officially gets moved to Football Consultant at the Phoenix.
What Ricki originally says and what actually happen are not always the same
