Message: [QUOTE="Paesano, post: 2759912, member: 5631"] Most of us agree but his statement may not be totally incorrect. If they didn't have cause, they would have had to pay him if they fired him. He deserved to be fired AND HE DOESN'T DESERVE THE FULL BUYOUT but they may not have done it unless they knew they could avoid the full buyout. It comes down to the opportunity cost. If it was less than 10mill, they might have kept him until they got to a point where they could have bought him out. Ollie shot himself in the foot and gave them the ability to avoid the full buyout. And that is OK because he doesn't deserve it ethically or contractually. [/QUOTE]
