Haven't followed him very closely but I can't say he's ever impressed me. Surely we can look higher.

But would a 'higher' manager be interested in coming to a club in decline which needs a total clear out but with very limited budget?

Limited budget??  You will be the wealthiest club in the Championship, at least from a transfer and spending point of view.  You get your 100m for finishing bottom and then get a further 60m in parachute payments next season.  Our turnover is 25m, we actually take more in ticket revenue that you do but we have only 2m of tv money.  You need to go for a manager that can get you promoted, nothing more, nothing less.  Forget about finding a manager that can manage in the PL, that can come later!!  Don’t worry about budget, worry about finding a manager who can spend your money wisely.

I hate the premier league ....... I would rather the football league disconnected from the greed league, no promotion no relegation, completely separate like rugby league and union. I would say with no new blood the prem would go stale but it's stale already, same top four, same next four and then there's the rest ....... yawwwwwwwnnnnn!!!

I'm praying for the day that the European Super League starts then all the money bags teams can f'uck off and take the television companies with them. Then we can have our football back
