Southgate, sure, though I never expect him to be manger here. Potter on the other hand, might. He's damaged goods from Chelsea and the Hammers, none of the top EPL teams would realistically take him, those bottom half would see it as a gamble. He works best with cheap, young players and has (at least at Brighton, had) a defined style, of which we're crying out for.
Don't know, considerable amount owed to Attanasio's and one of Pinkun podcasts recall them saying not selling Sargent put them close to ffp limit. I think its around 60 million to directors in loans and another 25 elsewhere
Why would anyone want Gareth Southgate as manager? There is a reason nobody has gone after him. Why would anyone want an English manager full stop? I'd begrudgingly keep Manning as it could all go south very badly with a change. My worry is this team doesnt realise its bad yet and when the penny drops it things could get far worse.
Are we talking about the Attanasio loans made under the previous ownership? If so, my understanding is that they were all converted into equity as part of the take-over from DS and MWJ. Hence those loans no longer exist. Where there is a continuing cost is in the interest payable on the various classes of Preference shares. There may be new loans related to player purchases since Norfolk Holdings took control, but I guess we have to wait until the AGM in November before we get any further info on that.
