So the one down side with Marti, I would not be surprised if Ayew starts up front.

He'd be down the list of managers I'd have gone for but 1) he has a clear track record with developing young players, something certain recent managers have failed in the duty to do so 2) his experience in Scandinavia should open us further to a market that holds arguably the best value for money in the world and 3) he's cheap. If what I've been told is correct, our budget for a new manager is staggeringly low, upwards of ten times less than what Brendan earned here.

Not surprised when you consider we have had to pay off Rodgers, Cooper and RVN

£20k a week or less for a manager is extremely low mind you, but hopefully a sign of our intentions with the playing squad too.

Is ten times less than Rodgers actually that cheap, considering we gave Rodgers a ridiculous contract

I was happy to have him last season when we were linked before appointing Cooper. 
 

Manager with similar ideas to Maresca was always the way to go for me, personally. 

RVN had ideas?

 

I'm sorry but he looked pretty clueless to me.

Hoping a lot of this info is in the pod this week; really intrigued in the info you've been teasing

I’m about to burst reading this.

 

if we can hurry up and appoint him, we might still have a chance to nab Ageymang off of Derby!!!!  Deal not been completed yet I don’t think…

Probably above the league average still, I'd imagine it has a good amount of bonus too.

Yeah, I would have liked this, but just can't see it happening mate. Don't do it to yourself

I would rather that than starting Daka

AI can find similarities with RVN if you ask it 

You never have anything positive to say are you Coopers son or something ?

 

Who do you want Gary O'Neil ?

Rodgers was reported to be on £10m a year. £1m a year for a Championship manager, albeit for a team with a parachute payments would be considered low I'd imagine. Release clauses for managers tend to be around 1-1.5 years wages so for example Corberan at £2m would have been on more than that, likewise Rohl.

Yep, we are shopping in the bargain basement. I've never heard of this guy until this thread, but doesn't sound awful. We could do worse and need to get someone in soon with a plan, season starts in a month's time.

I might be wrong but that’s about £20k per week which is mind blowing when you consider Coady will be on £70k per week, which does make me wonder if we will move on all or most of the high earners on £40k/50k + per week

Any idea on the average championship salary for a manager?

As you say hopefully a sign that we are tightening our belts and this will follow with the playing squad, back too paying reasonable wages and hopefully heavily incentivised performance related bonuses if successful.

Daka can hold up our attacks, pin himself to the floor and consistently come up short, if that helps?

[Skidmark]

Guessing he'll bring in his coaching staff?

 

Lose Bilal and replace him with Chair finally? Providing he's not banged up. Saying that, we'd probably stick a 10m bid in for him if it turned out he was going to the nick.

wouldn't bank on us have much to spend this window.  Loan markets and working with what we have is probably the best we can do.

Letting Vardy go was always a good indication we were going to start cutting our cloth.

 

Once we have a new man inplace it will be interesting to see what we do in the market.

 

I wonder if the intention is to keep hold of our assets, like El Khannouss and Hermansen, boost the squad with the likes of Nelson, Alves and Monga, maybe buy a CF.

 

Then only buy if we can move on some dead wood on.

We have a big squad and a squad in .y opinion fully capable of promotion .. I don't really think we need much but we do need to shift out some of the crap and build for the premiership.. learn from our mistakes

They’re not! 😉

[21st Century Fox]

I know most players at clubs will be on more than the managers but that’s such a massive gap between our prospective manager and some of the big contracts we have. Can’t bred a good culture.
