Grayson

Last season their wage bill, including non playing staff, was £3.2m, down from £3.4m the season before.

 

£40k a week. 20 players on £2k a week. Simples

 

Fleetwood’s was £5.3m with 66(???) players on their books. Bolton £12.6m. Scunthorpe about £5.5m.
At the bottom of the league Cov spent £4.0m.

With income from the EFL at about £1.5m say, and 10000 STs at £170, that’s £3.2m coming in, plus say sponsorship and sundry income, TV, shop etc pushing us up to £4m.

Take out the lease, pension costs, NI, business rates, £250k on the pitch, agents fees that leaves say £3m to run the club including non playing staff. Last year you needed £5m or more to get top 6, Shrewsbury £3.5m this season.

Rupp and Rahic need to find at least a million or more like £2m to find a top six push.

 

Except the likes of Doyle, who half the crowd wanted replaced by Rouven before they actually saw him play are on £3k+ per week. And I’m totally confident that £2m would be bottom 5 wages. Here’s 15/16 wagebill courtesy of Swiss Ramble on Twitter.

 

As it was my last game of the season, and midtable was realistic ........ I had few preconceptions - I just wanted to see continued momentum, and a performance to leave me with some hope for next season. I saw little of either.
The main talking point on the drive home was "What is there HERE (City) to convince Grayson he should stick around ? My only view is that the Board convince him, and back him 100%. I can't see that either !!

 

Grayson wants £4million for next years budget.

 

Well he won't be getting that.

What's all this about the training ground also?

 

How do you know that Jay?

 

That would do nicely ( 20+ players on average 100k with as much again to play with) but he won't get it..

 

Well good luck getting that with your new club Larry, 'cause you ain't getting it in BD8

 

Think jesus Christ would fit the new manager criteria, lets face it we need a fecking miracle or 2 to do owt with the new owners .

 

Grayson will get that easily.










When he moves to Scunthorpe.

 

So he wants a reasonable budget for a promotion chase.

 

Did he say that in the post match interview, missed it on way home

 

Rumour I think, I heard he was told £2m and he wanted £3m.

 

I really think you need to have a look at this team before pinning it on Grayson. Its a very very poor squad of players & pep guardiola would struggle with it. I think you'll get your wish anyway as the board won't give him what he needs and i don't expect him to stay......the summer is going to get very intersting.

 

The squad of players McCall had in play off positions for most of the season.

Yes, I said at the start of the season that you can't buy div 1 and 2 shi&e and expect to be challenging.

However, Grayson isn't even getting a tune out of these players and that's the worry. He's all over the shop in ideas.

Sometimes a manager and a club isn't a good fit.

 

Before you can judge any manager he has to have his own players to suit the way he wants to play. Something you seem unable to understand

 

Its starting to come across that you dont like SG
