That's what they're banking on - that they can sack him. They know that there will be a payout requirement but it won't be full at loading.
This is not a case of buyers remorse, this is a person who was called in to do a job with expectations of results and has not the skills or ability to deliver on that commitment.
There are also special scenarios fair work wise for highly paid employees (>$153K) where you cannot claim wrongful dismissal - depending on any significant contract clauses.

I’d wager he’d be a pretty good shot with a needle from that range

Is there a reason this hasn't been negotiated and settled before the media becomes involved in the rumours and speculation game? Presumably this should all be confidential until all important details are fixed and then you inform the fans and media?

If that dollar figure is true, he would be insane to knock it back. Basically getting paid a million dollars to throw a tonne of pressure of his and his families shoulders.

Probably to pressure Pies into accepting it.
It's going to come out anyway - this is very likely a reportable event for a publically listed company given the $s involved.

If that was true, he'd have been sacked 6 weeks ago. They clearly have no leverage to sack him and he has a "really strong contract".
Good luck taking the legal angle, he can blame it on injuries, players not doing what he tells them, blah blah. He can even re-purpose his 48 hours to release a name legal team.

I would say that is what his legal team is actually for currently.

The club should have negotiated this in strict confidentiality. They should have used the carrot that if he goes now he can say it was his choice to stand down as the toll of a one team town was just too much for his family. This announcement sort of takes that option off the table. Is it to be yet another example of how inept this board is when it comes to negotiations?

Are you sure about the 153k thing? Where I work that's the bottom tier and there's been quite a few over the years that have successfully been through the process of unfair dismissal. Might be different somehow.

We actually probably don't want Seibold to take this offer. If he digs his heels in and force the board to pay him out fully, they surely walk out the door with him.

From what I have read and heard on Fox Sports, Seibold and Morris have been dealing with this "for the last couple of days". Seems an agreement has most likely already been reached, or close to it
