pnefcok Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 28 minutes ago, Lrrr said: Say its an initial 3 year contract, the rumour is Hughton wanted ~20k a week, lets say Neil would start on similar to what LJ was on when he left. The difference is almost £500,000 per year in salary, so £3m release clause is effectively £1.5m more if you count the difference in wages paid. Next backroom staff, Neil knows Holden, has no real assistant to bring with him (according to PNE website he operates with 1st team coaches rather than assistant) whereas Hughton could want to bring his whole backroom staff at additional cost and could eat a fair chunk out of that £1.5m left, if he brings 1 person over you'd guess they'd be on half what Hughton is on so potentially another £500,000 out for Lawrence if he joined so £1m left. So the question is would Chris Hughton spend more than £1m more than Alex Neil as manager? I'd guess yes, so in reality Hughton isn't more affordable than Neil even with the release clause Neil takes Frankie McAvoy with him everywhere he goes. Also lead to believe Neil is on around 20k a week at PNE, significantly more than any of our players. He wouldn't come cheap in that sense. I think where Hughton would be more expensive is the backing he requires in the transfer market. Neil would obviously want greater backing than he has had at PNE but Hughton has always required top quality signings across the board at great expense to win promotion. Neil is quite good at inheriting squads, making a couple tweaks and building from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, even so I agree I think Hughton's demands in the market would involve bigger fees and bigger wages, so over 3 years I expect Hughton would still spend more than the release clause for Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Something is going on. The reassuring thing is Lansdown wouldn’t bother teasing the fans if it was Holden. My guess is probably Hughton, announced tonight or tomorrow. Could well be Cook given his resignation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curr Avon Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 1 hour ago, NickJ said: Definitely right it doesn't mean much considering they're still offering odds for 2 managers, Karanka and Harry Kewell, who have both landed other jobs this week. Cotts looks interesting at 80/1. Nick, it would be far easier if we just went back in time to May 2015 and persuade Steve L to buy Andre Gray and Harry Maguire, and properly back the team that Cotts got promoted from League One. While you're doing that I'll pop over to China and tell the Wujan Clan that eating bats is a bad idea. Back to the future and we'll be a Premier League stalwart and Cotts will have been awarded the freedom of Bristol. Definitely, a dry Natchthorn day.

If it’s tonight, they’ll tweet mundane things on the hour from the official account to create a bit of tension. Release a teaser at 8.45 or 8.50 before a big video reveal on the hour. JL will also continue to tweet cryptically over the next few hours if something is afoot so that’s something to look out for. Same playbook as Kalas/Palmer last summer. It’s likely the media, probably Durden or maybe O’Rouke, will tweet before it’s ‘officially’ announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Why does this mean something is happening? It's not his photo and he seems to just be correcting the person who posted it. I get it's sudden banter that you'd hope he wouldn't engage in unless something is imminent, but I'd still put nothing past him. With that said, while I want Cook, if something is happening it can't be up on the roof now, so recorded before Cook resigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
