Down To 3 Manager Candidates? French - Irish & ?? Non British Manager!

Also come the summer,with the sale of Grimes, O'Brien and Pedersen off the wages then we will have cut over 2.1m off the wage bill.

Hopefully Leeds get promoted(Piroe promotion bonus) coupled with the Grimes sale will have generated over 7M.

Granted we signed Widell(then loaned him straight out ) coupled with the fact that Jerry Yates was also loaned out to a team that is in and around us.....which could come back and haunt us.

It's been the biggest shower in the clubs recent history and there has been plenty of monumental f ups since the yanks took over.

Yates, another top example of mismanagement.

I actually think he'd be ok as back up next season but £3m on back up? Kuharevich another mess too.

Hopefully new owners will bring some promise.

Yeah the P&S thing was obviously exaggerated but the losses are still incredible on the P&L every season and so many opportunities missed.

Along with signing the likes of Pedersen on such large wages. Gross negligence of the highest order.

That was beyond belief. Just about everyone knew he was gash at the time, and he’s turned out even worse than that.

Isnt it miserable when we've sold all and sundry of any value that we are still worrying about finances especially P&S.

Sold Piroe, Ntcham, Obafemi, Grimes, Downes, Wood in the last two years alone for over £30m and still in a mess.

Talk about awful mismanagement. Absolute jokers.

I've said many times that most of our forward players today wouldn't have got anywhere near the starting line up 3 years ago. You can add Dan James, Rodon and Paterson to that lot. Most teams need a 20 goal a season striker in their line up to get anywhere in this division. We have been lucky to have that for a few seasons, unfortunately we never capitalised on that with the quality or tactics employed to profit from that. Our defence, at times , was woeful under Martin. Unfortunately good players if they can see no progress being made at the club are going to want to move on , and it's then the case we either cash in for the money or eventually lose them for nothing.

Yes, we’ve certainly got weaker year on year. Throw in some comedy managers and it’s a disaster in the making.

On paper he seemed like a decent signing.

It's odd how things have worked out and if his wages are what we're led to believe it certainly is gross negligence.

Remember Birmingham turning down silly money for him in the past

Got to be news on this soon surely? Don't mind the club taking their time - actively encourage it, in fact - but it's now been a month since LW was sacked and we're basically no clearer to knowing who's in the frame. If things haven't moved on by Thursday or so, I'd be seriously concerned as Sheehan has made it clear that he was only expecting to take charge until last week.

I think it’s been said Sheehan will take training today and tomorrow

I read an article on the Athletic earlier that had a table for profit made on player sales over the last 10 seasons by clubs playing in the English leagues. We were 15th (profit of £183m), one place behind Newcastle and ahead of Norwich, Man United, Brentford, Burnley. It does back up your point that our finances really shouldn't be this bad.

They probably aren't that bad, just over dramatised by posters on a football forum making things up as we go along

Is this a rumor you’ve heard or just putting 2+2 together on some of the available managers out there?

Not sure if the french guy Stephan is even under consideration by the club, I heard he was interested and was "supposedly" over but that could just be nonsense as much as it being true.

One guy that is in the mix is Scandinavian but not heard any names just that he is Scandinavian. I am sure someone who has a closer connection can confirm this on here.

Scandinavian, so he's Danish, Norwegian or Swedish which doesn't really narrow it down much. Only marginally better than saying he's European.

There are 50 European countries mind!
