Scouting for a new manager in the Czech leagues ?
Either that or schlepping round local massage parlours
But you did say that 'Long Contracts rarely benefit anyone but the Club'. I had thought, that roughly speaking, a manager who is sacked will often get some or all of their remaining contract paid (perhaps until they take another management position), unless there's a specific clause in their contract (eg, must qualify for CL), or unless they're dismissed for gross misconduct etc. If that is the case, then surely the long contract is benefiting the manager?
Eh? I certainly wouldn't expect you to go into details of any particular manager. It's a general conversation about managers and long clauses. If managers don't keep getting paid after being sacked, I'd have thought you could say that. And if they do keep getting paid, then why are you saying that long contracts aren't good for them?
Staring into the abyss off of Charles Bridge.
I say no more than this.
Despite what newspapers report on how much it cost Man United to sack Jose Mourhino or for Spurs to sack Pochetino
or for Watford to sack Javier Gracia. The length of time remaining on their contracts would have been largely irrelevant.
Newspapers lead us to believe it does. That's only because journalist are too lazy. They just multiply what they believe a Manager's annual salary is by the amount of years left on a contract then they print it.
Then when it is printed people take that as being true. Because they want to believe the sensationalism of those "hefty numbers"
Newspapers blame internet sites for reporting "fake news". They peddle more "fake news" than any other Entity. They always have done

Great news, a very sensible move. When he moves on we'll get millions in compo, in the meantime we'll continue enjoying his refreshing brand of football.
Like many other industries, there’ll be a compromise agreement in most cases.......
Ah, well I haven't read a single word on any of that lot anyway.
Ignoring the managers you've mentioned, can you not explain at all why contract lengths are largely irrelevant? If you comment on the industry as a whole, then I don't see how that would be inappropriate for you, but obviously you don't have to comment.
Well if there's a compromise, then surely it would be a compromise between nothing and their full contract paid up. If they only had 6 months left to run on their contract, then they'd get less than if there were 3 years left. So while it would be no surprise to learn that compromises are reached, that doesn't explain why a long contract doesn't help the manager when sacked.
Which is why I generally don't read them.

I'm personally wondering if we might play three at the back on occasion next season with Dunk, Webster and the Leeds superstar White. Could be quite a unit!

For some reason I am reminded of the time we lost out in the Play-offs. We had played very well, particularly first half but ultimately failed to reach the final. We had come so close to promotion at Middlesborough and I was feeling very down.
What did Tony Bloom do? Gave Chris a new 4 year contract the next morning! In Tony I trust!

Nailed on - with two very attacking full backs and a pivot midfielder.

Obviously a lot could change between now and next year but at the moment I’d say that’s looking quite likely. And an exciting prospect it is too. Especially if we do strengthen the wing back positions.
Andy Naylor says the contract extension is a vote of confidence and not to stop him being poached:

Wooow
Do you honestly think lil old Brighton are a big enough side to steal a player away from The Mighty Leeds United?
Not just any old player, like Bamford, but a player so synonymous with the club he was christened 'Leeds United's Ben White'.
I'll have a glass of what you're having.

As someone who has had to drive to their training ground a few times, I can assure you it's not something I'd be keen to do ever again, let alone every day.
