    Moyes Signed, Sealed , Delivered ?? ;nonono

    If that were true, Heaven Help Us All...

    The problem is if you want to take a club to the next level you have to provide the financial resources. You have to spend more tha £4m net and you have to be prepared to pay for the man you want and suffer the financial consequences if you decide to sack the manager. At the moment the Dave’s are not offering enough, financially, to get this club to where they said they were aiming to take it.

    If the owners don’t have the money, I have no problem with that. I question it, but accept it. But you have to ask why bother selling the ground and moving if they can’t actually provide the resources to make that transition worthwhile? What was the point?

    Lukerz, what about this new bod that has invested ??

    Not sure of the value of looking at net spend, but this season it is 10, not 4.

    If the club can sell on players, and make money, it is doing a good job.

    Spurs mastered it years ago.

    In gross terms, in the last 5 years, they have spent

    £40m

    £59m

    £49m

    £41m

    £20m

    In that period we have the 8th highest net spend (£106m), with Palace and Leicester the only 'non-top' clubs above us, and Leicester got a PL title out of that.

    To suggest the owners have not been putting in the money flies in the face of the facts.

    I'm really not sure why people insist on ignoring the facts.

    Expat - we’ll have to see. But Sully seemed to suggest he was just a guy looking for a bit of a hobby and has no real meaningful money.

    1/10 Moyes
    Helpppppoopp!!!!!!

    The other question I have over an “interim” appointment (if that turns out to be true) is what happens in the Jan transfer window? What if, say Moyes buys a player who six months later might not fit into a longer term manager’s plans. Not so much of an issue for a club like Chelsea who have far deeper pockets..

    Is Moyes the best we can do? NO ;doh ;weep

    If we want the right manager the owners need to go out and do whatever it takes to get one simple isn't it? ;ok

    Rather put Westley in caretaker position to not make a rash, poor decision... If they are sacking Slav.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    If it is true that Slav is going, why haven't the owners sacked him already. I assume they are looking for a mutual agreement type thing to save money?

    No, it really isn't simple.

    Unless they've opened a UK branch of 'Managers 'R' Us'.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    grey,

    I appreciate that because this is why they have struggled to make the right appointment. ;ok

    It’s possibly a little easier if you have bottomless pits of money (not us). If, for example, they put a five year contract in front of someone like Dyche and paid burnley a large comp fee, they might have some joy. But that’s not going to happen.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    baracks,

    That is the crux of the problem as I said last week we neither have the manager nor owners to realistically take us to the next level however that is classified.
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Fortune ;ok

    Sorry, think I missed the irony in your post.
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    It is a limiting factor. Any significant step up manager will want a decent contract, will probably need paying off, and then will doubtless want a sizeable transfer kitty. The daves were not able to stretch to carvalho’s fee in the summer (either that or didn’t want to). We have also not really been in a position to sell on any of our players for big bucks either. So a lot of our player purchases keep coming out of new money as opposed to recycled money.

    Tbh
    We over achieved last year by luck we finished where we did
    Reinforcements don’t seem to done much,, tho on paper team looks good
    Sooo what next
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    We don’t really need anything fancy. Someone who can up our fitness levels, get them working harder, get them properly organised and getting many of the basics right. With our squad, even if this was achieved, it should be enough to enable us to climb into mid table.

    Tbh I’d rather Pards.

    Unlucky first time with us. Knows the club. Always speaks highly of us.

    Had a decent go at keeping Charlton up (4-0 anyone). Did well at Newcastle. Did well at Palace. Starts well at clubs.

    Also unemployed.

    Might stick a £5 on him.

    Because if Slaven goes then Jurcevic (Slav's assistant at Croatia, Lokomotiv Moscow and Besiktas), Rak (Fitness Coach at Lokomotiv and Besiktas) and Terzic (Coach at Besiktas) all go with him

    That leaves Julian Dicks, Terry Westley and Chris Woods.

    They're only going to sack him if they've got someone lined up and that someone his own coaching staff sorted
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    Oh so we’ve got a fitness coach have we? Who would have thought?!
