  • 1 Abstract Purpose: This Paper Aims to Highlight and Encourage
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository Abstract Purpose: This paper aims to highlight and encourage consideration of the ethical and in some instances legal implications of managerial change in the EPL which often gets overlooked and sidestepped by clubs. Design/methodology/approach: Extant literature relating to managerial change is identified and discussed to provide the foundations of the discussion of whether managerial change in the EPL which is primarily focused on performance outcome, is neglecting ethical and legal issues. Findings: The loophole that exists in the Employment Rights Act (1996) allows clubs to instantly dismiss a manager and consequently not see out their notice period as agreed in their contract or the statutory notice period. Whilst legally clubs are at will to act in this manner, the instability of EPL management evident today appears to have taken away the rights of an employee. Practical implications: Greater consideration of the current managerial change practices in EPL from an ethical and legal perspective appears warranted. The incomparable rights that a player and a manger have relating to their tenure at a club seem somewhat unfair. Originality/value: Presents thought-provoking information relating to managerial change in the EPL which appears to have been overlooked in the literature to date which primarily focuses on the impact of change on performance. Keywords: Managerial Change, English Premier League, employment rights Paper type: Viewpoint 1 Introduction The apparently unique nature of professional team sports and leagues dictates that individual teams, while seeking a dominant position in a winner-takes-all scenario, require competitors to provide opposition, entertainment and commercial possibility (Williams, 2012).

In his time in charge he won nine trophies, including the league and cup double in the first season. Following a poor run of form with Roy Hogdson, Dalglish returned as manager in January 2011, but this spell was much less successful than the previous, with the only success being in the League Cup. Win ratio: 60.9%, 47.3% 2 J O E R O Y L E ( 1 9 9 4 - 1 9 9 7 ) E V E R T O N Royle, who scored over 100 goals while playing up front for the Toffee's in the 60's and 70's, became manager of the Goodison Park club 20 years after he left them as a player. Despite only being in charge for three years, he led the club to FA Cup glory which is coincidentally their most recent trophy.
