If we did sack him, would have to pay him all upfront or just keep

I'd have to bow to actual contractual experts on here to be honest but I have been put on gardening leave previously and was just paid my wage for remainder of contract monthly until end of contract.
I'd imagine any payout for termination of contract would either be immediate payout or negotiated on exit.

Nope, the payment for sacking only kicks in if we sack him, he's out of contract next summer.
Gardening leave till summer, then his context expires and he f's off.

Zero faith we will get anything at Villa then it comes down to critical games again Leicester and Palace, if we don't get a win in either of those he has to go
I could be wrong, but I’m sure the bobble said even on gardening leave, he’d be entitled to his extra year
Hope the club don't do a Lampard and wait until after the next international break to act, assuming we're still in the mire.
Without seeing the terms of the contract it is impossible to say what options would be open to the club.
It is far too early to panic yet.
Last year our results at the start were just as poor, we had a weaker squad and still survived comfortably.
Sean Dyche is not in danger of losing his job, however he may be in danger of not getting a contract extension to lead the club in the future.

Good he isn't good enough to progress us
I didn't say he wasn't going to get one, but at the moment the audition is not going well.

I think he would have to get us into the top 4 to get any kind of contract extension and I think he knows it. He sees his contract out for me.
Yeah that does shock me how much he actually gets paid by us is another reason to question if he should get a new deal

We have thrown that much money away on crap players and managers the last few years, 7 or 8 million is nothing compared and especially if it means averting a season of gutter dwelling, frustration and disappointment in the final ever season at Goodison. That is where we are heading with this fella at the helm.
He doesn't even hide the fact that his seasons aim is to stay in the league and the problems existed before came, blah blah blah. Absolutely pathetic, any decent manager should have higher aspirations than that. Team showed in the last game that they are capable of more and at minimum a non relegation threatening season and mid table finish if they were managed properly. Not with this loser at the helm though, he couldn't run a bath.
Dyche Out.

Doesn't there have to be gardening leave clause agreed in the contract, to put someone on gardening leave.

Well you are very sure but I presume that like me you haven't seen let alone read the contract.
I would agree that in the vast majority of contracts that putting someone on gardening leave would get around a clause that reads something like " an extra years salary is payable in the event of the contract being terminated prior to the end date of this fixed term contract".
However if Dyche's lawyers were smart they might have insisted on the payment taking effect if Dyche was ever relieved of his duties - in which case gardening leave won't work.
Dyche could also argue that putting him on gardening leave gives rise to a constructive dismissal and bring a claim for any monies he considers due. If he does that however he will be tied up in litigation for years.
I wonder how Bobble is apparently so sure of the position - perhaps he has been briefed by Dyche's camp - in which case who knows how accurate such a story might be.
