Phil Clement picked up a £5m pay off when he was sacked at Ibrox in February, according to Scotland’s Co-efficient.
As a highly reliable Twitter account Scotland’s Co-efficient has developed into a subscription website with no need to be flying kites at speculative stories.
It looked ominous for Beale from the autumn as his exciting young side lost ground in the SPFL Premiership, after losing at Aberdeen at the end of October they fell nine points behind Jimmy Thelin’s side.
The Ibrox board were desperate to get out of their cycle of sacking manager’s in the autumn, even more so after extending the contract of A Proper Football Manager on the eve of the new season.
As he stumbled on barely able to get a win away from Ibrox it became a matter of when rather than if Clement would be sacked.

New CEO Paddy Stewart twice publicly backed Clement but after successive home defeats to Queens Park and St Mirren the Belgian Beale was sacked with Barry Ferguson drafted into the brogues and blazer.
Whether the £5m was paid out up front or is over an extended period of gardening leave isn’t known but when he signed his new contract the manager held the upper hand after his budget had been drastically cut.
Despite being linked with a couple of jobs in Belgium it seems that Clement is content to take a back seat as he recovers from becoming the latest Ibrox boss to be destroyed by Brendan Rodgers.
That would be a fair assumption, yes

Surely Bayern Munich were due them £5m for no reason at all?

Not to worry the sell-on clause in Cerny going back to his parent club after being onloan at sevco will cover The Proper Managers pay off.
Wasn’t £5 million sovs one of the latest , many confetti share issues offered , that was desperately needed to keep the lights on and other necessities by the Ibroxland board last season ? ( Big Pip’s pay off ) . Three of them in quick succession , if memory serves …that number is a bit of a large coincidence ..intit ?
That last X comment there just sums up how utterly deluded and gullible they remain.
5m pay off…” thats pocket change to us”…
Aye, thats how its aw frees n loans n bargain basements thats comin in the door…honestly, if it wuzny so tragic it would be funny.
“…..if it wuzny so tragic it would be funny.”
If it wuzny so funny it would be tragic! 🙂
So there’s another £5 million bang bangs to add on to the current debt which we still don’t have the actual figure about it as yet.
And still the cash is being splashed at the same rate as when the auld board were in charge.
So much for having no cash and players having to move on before any can come in,what a load of shite those statements are turning out to be.
Was working in the ibrox area earlier today with BBC and STV camera crews outside the bigot dome,apparently Jamie Vardy was seen going into the building,with the script being a pay as you play role for him.
I am reading elsewhere that father Ancelotti has been done with not paying tax. Football, and the world, are losing their senses. Us football fans are being taken for a ride by a lot of very wealthy people. Up the Tim’s. Free Palestine
Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell, just for starters!
It seems that some of the deluded won’t realise that they’re still skint until the bigot dome is on lease and renamed..

The Ibrox brogues have had more misfortunate wearers than the boots which were passed from soldier to soldier in the film All Quiet on the Western Front. Patrick Stewart backed Clement twice and said the reason for not sacking him wasn’t because they couldn’t afford to pay off the rest of his contract. He was shortly sacked by Stewart, Phil Clement’s pay off was likely covered by a loan from MacQuarie Bank, the money is paid back from future transfer fees. The “expected” sale of thirty year old Cyriel Dessers for only £5m would cover the cost of the dismissals. A pie now costs £100,000 at Ibrox.
Aye – Fillop Filllleeeeddd his pockets and The Sevco Huns Filliped !!!
