Genuine question here. On all transfer rumours I tended to take as that unless you quoted I started to believe there may be some truth in it. But you’ve not posted with much certainty on this managers post. Was your insider LJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 I cant imagine this is true. If he is genuinely serious about promotion then that amount does not seem unreasonable. If he isnt willing to pay that then stop talking about promotion and stop letting Ashton continuously waste money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem a huge gamble, paying off what remains of his Rangers contract and , I suppose, offering him either the same money or more to come to Bristol . I suspect that we won’t be seeing SG on the tracksuit top in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Lam is rumored to be on £750k a year, so £1m surely cant be an issue. I would imagine the biggest concern for the club is Hughton maybe not being the Johnson type coach they would prefer.

This “serious about promotion” bit, you do know no one guarantees promotion, do they? Plus SL has spent a fortune of his own money on the club, do you really think he doesn’t want to go up? If true (& I have no idea if it is) this seems to be a huge salary for a Championship manager, more than double many who are doing well (Harris, Rowett, Neil, Bowyer) in our league are on.

I knew some smart ass would say I'm not paying it. Offcourse I'm not, I dont own the club and not worth a billion? ( cant be far off). All those managers have nothing on Hughton at this level. Nothing even close so a pretty poor comparison. If hes willing to waste money on countless players, you'd think a top level coach at this level wouldn't be too much of a stretch. That all being said, its probably a bullshit story anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderwithtommy Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Who we appoint next will be a direct indicator of where we are as a club, it is that simple. All of the lingo bingo by Ashton et al will be put to one side, and we will see where we are. option 1 - Hughton, Gerrard, Allardyce or similar. We are not trading our best players Unless it’s a deal we can’t refuse, we are likely to sign players ready to go, and we are oooking at prem in 2-3 seasons maximum. option 2 - Lowe, Wellens, Flynn or similar. We will trade best players, bring through youth and rough diamonds from lower leagues. Prem, maybe quickly but more likely status quo and top 6 would be amazing. either option has its ups and downs, but this is the most transparent decision we will see, which is very interesting!

Bar BS3 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 We'd obviously all like promotion - but as most managers fail, rather than succeed, there's a tiny little part of me thinking that appointing a big name manager, who then goes on to fail, whilst whoever the likes of Ryan Lowe etc go on to manage, surge into the premiership and europa league, might just shut a few people up once our next managerial appointment process comes around..!

Or the more likely scenario of us appointing a Ryan Lowe and finishing bottom half and then watching Fulham take Hughton and go up. Any managerial appointment is somewhat of a gamble. I suppose it’s just a case of how far we’re willing to go to shorten our odds of promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is an indicator of the kind of wages being paid for a good Championship striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is 'balking' at it on here, obviously it's easy to spend someone elses money, but I think the general consensus seems to be that would be a fair wage if it's the going rate.

I remember when he joined lots of respected French football writers were saying he was far better than Diedhiou. I get the impression he was in a bad place whilst here.
