Tbh I don't really recall his time with Burnley but I gather it wasn't a success. The job we need doing is similar to what he achieved at Bournemouth, more or less starting from scratch to, in our case, rebuild a club.

I reckon with a DoF he'd do well because I believe that he buggered it up at Bournemouth by spending big on the wrong players but his man management skills are exemplary and he plays proper football.

The thing most say abouit him is that he doesn't "buy" well in the premier league. This is where he apparently failed at both Burnley and Bournemouth. Hopefully, if we have a decent team in place, we remove that from him and get a proper DoF involved

It's not an option on the poll, but I would like Eddie Howe, who seems to have the right attitude, seems to be very capable of getting the best out of players, and seems to believe in 'proper' football, but it seems like we'll be getting back on the Gus bus

I know we can't break the salary cap but you can back end contracts to kick in upon promotion etc.

Creative people always get around that stuff.

Because the salary cap was a hurried process put through by the efl I’m sure there’s legal people out there that can find loopholes in its rules, I’m sure Dreyfus and sartori know “people” that are more than capable of exploiting these.

Agreed. In every sport with a salary cap, there are ways around it.

What are they going to do? Relegate us to the second flight?

Yes please.

No it would be to the National League, so our lawyers must have really water tight ways around the cap or don’t risk it.

The real way is promotion and bonus payments. Problem is there is still not one cup left and we aren’t taking that one seriously. But we could offer large bonus payments for getting to the final plus another promotion payment to any player willing to back themselves

I was just being daft.

They wouldn't relegate to the national league for some creative accounting surely?

When they allow City and the likes to do whatever they want?

As you say, there will definitely be stuff we can offer without fully breaking the rules. Just bending them a bit.
 
I just wouldn't take the chance with Pearson. His mental state is too much of a ticking timebomb to me. It would be like saying you'd fancy marrying Amber Heard, or Heather Locklear.

Sorry but it wouldn't - The answer to the last 2 would be a definite yes - even if it's just for the best 30 seconds (in total) of my life!!

I fully agree and would love to see it. There has to be players willing to take the chance.
Do you think SD knew he was on a winner when he said we would pay Wigan add ons of up to 4 million when Griggs fires us into the Premier

Wagner or Keane surely? Would be great to see Keano come back and finish his job. From memory he did bloody well in getting you up to the PL. Can't remember how he fared in the PL but I doubt that it was as horrendous as the vast majority of your managers' performances!
