The club need to offer him a wage rise. I hope he doesn't go Sunderland and think in career terms for him it would be a bad move but the sums quoted are ridiculous. As us the one he is apparently on here the lowest paid championship boss at 100k. He has got us promoted to the championship then after a good start had his best players cherry picked in January a full new squad of mostly unproven young lads and we are only ONE point worse off then this time last season. For me he is the best gaffer we have had in my 22 years of watching the reds. Losing him would be a bigger loss than any player we have lost in the last 18months get the cheque book out.
If there is any truth in the rumour that he is on £100k, will people concede that the owner has dropped a ginormous bollock, or will they defend it as financial prudence?
I haven' posted to have a pop at the owner just saying he deserves to be on more than 100k a year. Would be a bitter pill to swallow someone who is apparently one of our own leaving to go to a club like Sunderland who have been in turmoil for years.
I'd fully agree he deserves considerably more than that. However, it's only ever going to be a big club that takes him away from us and you could multiply his wages 5 times over and we couldn't compete. Nevertheless we should be doing our absolute best to keep the difference as small as we can.
P.s though. Let's not let someone speculating that he's on 100k suddenly turn into gospel truth. No one knows what he's on.
I've no idea what he's on. I've no idea what any of our players are on. But what I do know it wont be much as everyone of them jump for more
Not saying they aren' a big club because they are but they are the worst side to visit oakwell this season and they go through managers like I don' know what. Even Grayson has done fairly good everywhere he has been and then massive fail at sunderland
They have massive problems. Players that don't give a *****, owner that seemingly couldn't care less, dwindling crowds who would give any new manager very little time before they turned on him. I'd imagine that Hecky would back his ability to turn em around but it is a tall order especially if there is no brass too. That said, if I owned BFC, I'd tell him if they come I wonlt stand in his way but that we want him to stay and as such will offer him a new deal
