McNamara wants a bonus from the Jags because of promotion.

[Paisley Hibby]

His lawyers have written to Partick Thistle claiming a bonus because the Jags have been promoted. Seems unbelieveably brass necked especially as they were not even top of the first divsion when he left.:confused: Just wondering what folk think about this.

I think they should tell him to bolt

Depends what it says in his contract.

Think he has a cheek, he left to take a bigger role on, his choice.....

[West hamBERNIAN]

I doubt jackie is struggling for cash, must have left on bad terms with the chairman i'd guess. Doesn't sound good though.

:agree:

Seems unfair, seeing as he terminated his contract to join Dundee Utd! Surely he can't expect to have it both ways? :confused:

Must be something contractual for him even to consider asking.

[Paisley Hibby]

True, but I can't imagine any bonus clause saying that he would still get paid one even if he decided to leave mid-season to manage another club. I'm guessing that a badly worded clause has led his lawyers to advise that it's worth a try. But it hardly seems moral and he surely doesn't need the money?

[Sir David Gray]

Totally depends on what was written into his contract.

On the face of it, it does look like he has a cheek to ask for this given that he left them during the season to join another club but if he had something agreed with them then they'll have to honour it.

Are Thistle not chasing him for money as well? Tit for tat I reckon.

I see what you're saying - he's probably using the clause as a way to get Thistle off his back.

[frazeHFC]

As mentioned i don't think what's in the contract should matter. He ended his contract and compensation was paid, that should be the end of it.

[Danderhall Hibs]

What's the point of having a contract then?

[Paisley Hibby]

Ah! Didn't know that and it could explain his actions. However, whatever the reason behind it, this sort of looks like he's claiming Thistle's promotion is all down to him. I can't imagine Alan Archibald, the current manager, being too impressed with that.

Seeing as you don't know what was in his contract regarding self termination and entitlements thereafter then it does matter!

Archibalds landed on his feet so he'll be delighted - radio Scotland were saying the other night that he was nominated for manager of the year - he didn't do anything!

[frazeHFC]

What i meant was if in the contract it said he got a bonus for having them promoted, but then he broke the contract, he shouldn't get it.

[3pm]

Selfish prick.

[Gmack7]

Typical modern day footballer

[bingo70]

Because it meant partick got compensation when he left for utd and it protected him in case Patrick tried to sack him.

[Swedish hibee]

Doesn't matter what it says in his contract, he chose to quit the club.
Another Little money grabbing weasle.
:rolleyes:

[JohnStephens91]

Cheeky bass turd.

[NOLA]

Looks like a bad pr move by jackie jnr, he chose to leave partick after all, not like they chased him out. Mowbray should claim compo from hibs for collins winning the league cup with his team ;)

[givescotlandfreedom]

I met him in my work once and he was rather obnoxious. IIRC he also tried to snap Scott Brown rather venomously when we beat Celtc 3-1 at Parkhead.
Hope Thistle tell him to bolt.

[Winston Ingram]

To be fair to him he built the team and if it was a big club with lots of cash fair enough.

This however is a club that don't have a bolt and he likely already has a fortune. Very poor

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Maybe if he had stayed they wouldn't have won the league?

[21.05.2016]

Seems a bit of a liberty considering it was him to terminated his contract to join utd. He terminated his contract to join a bigger club which is fine but he can't expect to have the terms of that contract upheld. Can't have it both ways so Partick should tell him to sling his hook.

:agree::top marks:aok: Bang on!

[Billy Whizz]

Never met him, but remember him faking injury and getting Riordan sent off at Parkhead a number of seasons ago

[greenlex]

Hes quite right. His team. His players and points gained previous to his move to utd. Partick would have been handsomely renumerated by Utd. He should be getting if not all his bonus certainly part of it pro rata. He stood aside to give them that new manager bounce and win the championship. Very unselfish. Give him his just desserts I say.:agree:

Should Mowbray have been compensated for John Collins' side winning the CIS Cup? :wink:

[Malthibby]

Morals of an alleycat but I suppose he doesn't care as long as he gets his filthy lucre.
Hope they are not obligated to him for a penny.

[NAE NOOKIE]

His leaving Partick might have scuppered their chances of winning the league. He wants a bonus for endangering the clubs future by leaving for a club with better players and more money.

If a player leaves a club in January to join a bigger club for more money and the club he has left wins promotion, does he get a winners medal and bonus money coz he played the first half of the season for them?

Greedy wee turd ..... not to mention that Utd have hardly set the heather on fire since he took over.

[greenlex]

If Mowbray was in charge for any of the games in that campaign then there would be an argument for giving him something. :agree: I cant see anyone arguing that. :greengrin

[JimBHibees]

Completely classless to be honest. He is a young manager trying to make his way why stir this up for what is probably not a massive amount in comparison to what he left to get at United.

If a player plays so many games for a club, iirc it used to be 11, and that club won the league, he got a medal, i dont know if thats still the case these days? :dunno:

Rightly or wrongly 10 or less and no medal was awarded.:greengrin

He would then get a percentage of any bonus money awarded at the end of that season, i know this was the case when Blackpool gained promotion to the EPL a couple of seasons ago.

I'm guessing this is McNamara's case here?
