Player Valuation: £30m
It’s true.Both Villa and Wolves have spent big money for their new managers, which was at least part of the reason they joined those clubs.
What manager is going to want to manage a team that desperately needs improvement but does not have the money or resources to be able to improve in this window?
At this point, even Dyche is also probably out of our reach.
If we have few games under a caretaker, the new manager can’t even watch the last one in the directors box like Sam did, because the directors have all banned themselves from attending.
I think the likes of Dyche (not him specifically but experienced but young-ish) would jump at the chance if we were 16th, playing ok but losing constantly, but with general harmony. Even with little funds. They are confident animals.
But the state of it now. Rock bottom, Board members (allegedly) physically assaulted in the ground, no money to spend, unbalanced squad that probably hates playing at home. Fair play to whoever backs themself to survive here. Could make or destroy a career, as Frank has found out.
