Scotty66 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Really can't see how Ashley has made so much money through business. Why on Earth would you say to someone in our position (financially for him) "you deal with it". Even more absurd when that person is Charnley.

relámpago blanco Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm fairly sure the first mention of Rafa was on here hypothetically. It won't happen. I doubt Mclaren will br sacked either. If we get Rafa before the next game I will enter robot wars next year and the robot will be called Bafa Renitez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just give him 700k a year basic and 4 million in tips. He'll like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know it's almost certainly all a sham anyway, but how does the board sack a member of the board? Just another reason why we're a f***ing joke. Quite easily actually, they can vote him off. Without it going to an embarrassing and expensive tribunal? He's probably not even on the board. This is my thinking, would he need be a director firstly? McClaren is a Director of the football club. Just had a chuckle to myself reading this, I mean what a f****** shambles. We hired the bloke as a director man Steve Clueless McClaren on the board with Bob Moncur, the mysterious Graham Carr and Penfold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 No chances Moyes is going to ask for 4m, I'd bet he was on less than 1m at Sociedad. Why not? He was on at least that at Everton and we are quite clearly desperate, he's in the position to ask for what he damn well wants. Yep. He was one of the highest paid managers in the Premier League when he was at Everton despite the fact they were heavily in debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 He's still not sacked but it's looking good? Anything else? He's still not sacked and it's not looking particularly good just about sums it all up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Really can't see how Ashley has made so much money through business. Why on Earth would you say to someone in our position (financially for him) "you deal with it". Even more absurd when that person is Charnley. He might be giving Charnley a chance to un-hang himself. He (Charnley) wanted McClaren, he brought him in so he should deal with him. I doubt for one minute that Ashley doesn't sign off the new manager but I think he will leave the firing of McClaren to the people who will have appointed him and I don't blame him. I would guess that the ramifications of appointing McClaren will be seen at the end of the season and I wouldn't like to be Charnley at that time.

Ketsbaia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Doubling a 700k salary is pennies with this new TV deal. Absolute pocket change. Even if Benitez comes in, keeps us up and goes I'll be satisfied. You'd think such a drastic impact would convince Chashley that it's worth investing in a good manager. Again, a good manager will probably earn £10-15m more in prize money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 No chances Moyes is going to ask for 4m, I'd bet he was on less than 1m at Sociedad. It's about 3 league places higher in prize money. So what?, its far more than he's worth. Benitez is the kind of manager you pay whatever it takes to get, Moyes isn't. If we're going to throw money at a manager I'd rather offer Benitez £1m for 10 games and £3m bonus if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that even a slight improvement in league placings would ultimately fund the increase in salary of the better boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah if keeping McClaren or £4m a year for Moyes are the only two options its the second one every time. But I can understand why people would be surprised at Moyes asking for that much money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 The club have no leverage in terms of negotiations, unless it's with another dingbat journeyman. Which would really defeat the purpose.

Kanj Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Not in a position to have leverage. We have no leverage because we're 19th in the fucking league. If the club wants to pretend they do ... Well it certainly doesn't surprise me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think heads will roll this summer at board level, Penfold is costimg Mike a fortune Charnley seems almost certain to get the push and it will be deserved. McClaren is the only one who has shown any dignity this week and he'll probably be the first to go. The people who chased him for so long should also be sacked. I can't get my head around a train journey to a 'secret' board meeting when St James' will have dozens of rooms which could have been used which wouldn't have created publicity. I want McClaren gone ASAP but as usual our club has even screwed a potential sacking up, amateurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
