You should read my post then to take away your "surprise". There will be clauses dealing with termination - top four guarantees, CL guarantees? No.
Maybe you didn't read the link I put in my last post.
Here's another one.

Big managers get fired all the time for poor performances. Benitez didn't make the CL the summer he was canned, they still had to cough up 4 million. Then he was in about 6th spot when Inter canned him, with a CL winning team, it cost them an arm and a leg.
If United fire Moyes, it won't be cheap because a "lawyer put a clause in" - it'll be expensive, maybe not six years expensive.
