Previous track record? Making a total Horlicks of stakeholder pensions, so that they never got off the ground. Shame for Gordon that, as he would have been able to nick the savings of even more people, had they. <BR/><BR/>Some years ago, Sheffield Wednesday paid Ron Atkinson the best part of a £1 mill to get them relegated. I wrote to them to tell them, next time they were in such a spot, I would get them relegated for the princely sum of £250K, thereby saving them a notional £750k. <BR/><BR/>They didn't reply.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-80067873223492433932008-02-16T21:16:00.000+00:002008-02-16T21:16:00.000+00:00Oldest trick in the book.

Nearly all of those are guaranteed payments made by contract to induce the person to take the job. Others are payments to settle obligations on breaking the contract (i.e. paying off less than the salary due for the remaining period of the contract). I doubt very much that any board votes for a payment to a failed executive out of the kindness of their hearts. That would be a breach of their duries as oard members for a start. <BR/><BR/>Shows how little the Chancellor knows about the real world.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775753218753337766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-7147422581306597122008-02-16T13:02:00.000+00:002008-02-16T13:02:00.000+00:00In civvy street if you are sacked or resign(to cle...In civvy street if you are sacked or resign(to clear your name hah) you get nowt,nothing,nada.Why should these pratts get my money for being crap?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-69276955863274425022008-02-16T11:34:00.000+00:002008-02-16T11:34:00.000+00:00That an incompetent minister and Chancellor, (shou...That an incompetent minister and Chancellor, (should read chancer) has the "brass" to comment on bonuses ,and then read in todays papers that another of his `ilk`Madame Hewitt is a prospective replacement for Mandelson sums up this dreadful venial administration.
