Pelchen's permutations and prognostications

[DJC]

If Carlton want to sack Bolton, no industrial relations will keep him in the job, and he will be paid out accordingly.

Part of this deal will be an exit strategy for both coach and club in the event it all goes pear shaped, and keeping someone in place that either party doesnt want to be there is a recipe for doom.

It's unlikely that he would be reinstated but not impossible.  In that case, you would expect those involved in his removal to immediately resign.

Bolton's employment agreement has provisions for a financial settlement in the event of termination.  Initially it was to be triggered if he was terminated in the first two years of his employment but that has been extended to the end of the 2020 season.  Termination after that date would mean that he would receive whatever entitlements are due.  If the club was to renege, it would be grounds for an unfair dismissal process. That option would not be available to contracted coaches.
