They'd still owe him millions mate, you can't just sack someone right before they qualify for a performance related bonus having done the majority of the work and then claim you owe them nothing.I have a mate who's a Spurs fan and according to him Mourinho has been sacked in case he wins on Sunday! A lot of his salary was linked to success so they've got rid of him now as if they had won on Sunday he'd have been owed millions for winning his first trophy!
If he refused to fulfil his duties they might well get away with paying him a pittance in severance.Rumours are he refused to train the players because of opposition to ESL but more likely that he realised that half of them are pretty shit and no point wasting his time on them - How much has this bloke made out of being sacked!
They could be getting into legal trouble in that scenario as sacking him right before that bonus was achieved (if they win) would fall into constructive dismissal territory.
Either that or there's nothing in his contract about winning the league cup.I'm guessing Mourinho will have given them grounds for sacking him.
