    Well I'm sold. It's so difficult to say who will be the right choice, but it seems very likely that it'll have to be someone used to working on zero budget and it seems like both this guy and the Scottish bloke are.

    reminds me of the time we were appointing the likes of Mick Buxton....Who ever takes over has my total support, but, it does appear the targets are not the most inspiring....that said, mate of mine who supports Barnsley speaks very high of Heckingbottom..

    I've got a feeling we are just waiting for Aberdeen to play the cup final against Celtic and that's when we'll be appointing McInnes.

    Would rather have Heckinbottom tbh.

    Inclined to agree. If Aberdeen lose he will say he has given it his best shot. If they win he will say he has achieved his target and move to us.

    Paul Heckingbottom is an old fashioned coach who likes to drill set pieces in training quite often. He had Barnsley punching a little over their weight too.

    When they say £100 m in debt what does that mean, has Ellis got to clear the debt before the new season starts ?. How can any business go so far in debt without closing and further more how the hell did it happen, I mean ASDA would not wait that long would they, but they don't get money thrown at them and footballers are untouchable at losing their jobs, just like Messi and the tax situation, if you get a jail sentence for less than 2 years in Portugal, you can do probation instead !, in other words there is no such thing as long as you are rich.

    It should be damn near impossible to be that far in debt regardless of pay outs to sacked managers and high wages. Methinks monies are being siphoned off by an unknown person(s).

    Far too high profile a business for **** loads of cash to be embezzled from. It would hit the papers in no time. Just badly run in an industry where the stakes and figures are massive. 5 years of being run into the ground is enough to see the figures we're currently seeing.

    Anton Ferdinand... 8m + 50k per week for four years. That's 18m pounds on a championship standard player. When your club does that debt knocks on your door.

    Man Utd are much further in debt than us. It's about the guaranteed income generated by the club. We're 5th highest nett spend over the last 6 transfer windows! In other words, we've wasted ****loads of cash and got **** all back! That and the stupid wages are where the debt comes from.

    I reckon that (maybe more in hope than anything) Short will allow any funds generated in the transfer market from sales of the likes of Khazri, Kone, Pickford etc. to be used in transfer negotiations.
