Manning Buyout Negotiations Have Begun

jaybone said:
But in this case, Townie is right, isn't he?

Specifically, you have never talked to an agent about buyout negotiations or any other discussion with a lawyer/agent about buyout specifics. Perhaps I am wrong, but we are all just spitballing here. I'm assuming you are too. I think your prior spitball (Danny ain't getting anything more than $12mil) is some un-great spit-balling. I know that if you owed ME $15 million over 5 years and offered me $12 today, I would laugh you out the door. I'd probably accept $14 mil though - just to be rid of you.

Remember what happens when you ASSUME...well that is happening to you here.

True that. He bought a house previously owned by a Deacon Club member then had it modified at the doors, etc for height. Very nice house from what I can remember of the neighborhood.

Friends of mine in the High Country NC former English Professor at Wake Bob Lovett told me couple years back that Manning was his neighbor in Winston.

Who cares where Mannequin man lives now in W-S??! Our only concern is how many more days does he have left in the Dash? Hopefully no more than 14-30 days, and I doubt he will be sticking around till his home sale closes.

Then again, I guess we should have Mr. Lovett looking out for "for sale" signs in his yard! Get this done Currie and please announce Beilein by day 1 of the NCAA Tourney please?? I want to care (at least a little bit) again, beyond watching John Collins play for the ATL Hawks and giving dap to his mom on twitter.
 
You guys are acting like Manning's address is top secret info. Property records are public, so if you own in your own name (which it appears he does), then anyone can look it up.

Just got called by my wake ticket rep asking to renew football season tickets. Told him I won't do that if Manning is retained and am waiting to see what happens. His response was I'm certain we'll have an announcement soon. I was shocked he stated that because he's never ever commented on wake AD dealings before even when I prodded. It's as if the Ron Wellman Berlin Wall has come down and the peasants are finding their freedoms.

Apparently this is a new day. I cannot recall any leaks from Wellman's office. And, even though I want information, I do respect the ability to prevent leaks. However, there is a distinct possibility that these leaks are purposeful and not accidental. In either case, it signals a new day.

I just want to see pictures of the modified doors !

Of course there will be an announcement soon. The tournaments are closing in and as soon as our team breathes its last breath, we’ll hear whether he’s gone or stays. We learned he would be returning in March last year. Was one of the worst days of my life as a Wake fan.
 
That is one ugly fuckin house.
 
I do not understand why anyone would not drive to Beilein's house and pack him up and move him to WS if he would take the WFU job? Age should not be an issue.

B-Line is 67.
Jim Boeheim is 75.
Roy Williams is 69.
Coach K is 73.
Leonard Hamilton is 71.

The man made $60 million during his NBA career. I would think he's not going to nickel and dime us but who knows.

If Danny Manning has a shred of integrity he will resign without asking for another penny from Wake Forest.

I am not kidding. He was hired to do a job and he failed utterly. Mark Richt had the decency to resign as Miami football coach because he failed to get it done. Manning does not need the money. It is outrageous if he is trying to leverage Wake for another 10 to 15 million dollars just to go away.

As I have said countless times, Wake Forest should NOT hire a coach over 60 years old.
 
The fact that Coack K is only 73 just flat out, just, completely blows my mind. The dude should be 85 at this point.

If he had a shred of integrity he would have resigned last year without asking for another penny. Or the year before that. But he hasn't, so fuck that motherfucker, and it is incomprehensible why anyone associated with the University has shown in him any respect in the meantime.

Disagree entirely. He was awarded a contract and Wake Forest needs to honor it or negotiate out of it. None of that has anything to do with Manning's integrity, and he isn't leveraging shit. This was Wake's mistake and Wake needs to rectify it.
 
It must be interesting to have a job where you can fail over and over again, do you get self awareness that you suck at your job? Like does he know, or is he an extreme narcissist like the president. Like if you were a lawyer but you are 0-20 in cases for the year or a doctor that kills someone weekly you know you suck.

Not that this has anything to do with Danny Manning or his buyout, but I'm pretty sure your friend recently died. Sorry.

Lovett is still around? I had him for an English class, and he was very interesting. I still remember some of the points he made. My roommate and I even did some community work at his behest. Great guy. I wish him well.
