According to figures released to the BBC by the League Managers
Association (LMA), the cost of compensation, legal fees and 'double
contracts' amounted to £99m.
A 'double contract' is when a sacked manager's contract is
honoured until a certain point in time but his replacement also requires
a salary.
October is traditionally the month when clubs begin sacking
their managers. Between October 2010 and February 2011, 25 clubs opted
for that course of action.
