Yeah but I'd say if they liked the manager and the football they'd be tempted to stay. Puel got loads of players signing new contracts. This lot want to get out the door asap.

I speculated a while back the players not signing new contracts was possibly a sign of a lack of faith in the manager.  Glad someone else now is thinking the same.

This is a massive false flag I think. I highly doubt the Champions League money would’ve been enough to make a difference. We’d have gone in as 4th seeds and likely crashed out in the groups, it wouldn’t be like 2017.
 

Maccabi Haifa, FC Copenhagen or even Rangers or Celtic are hardly rolling in it just for making the CL groups a few times, are they? Losing in the groups in the CL doesn’t bring in *that* much more than reaching the latter stages of the EL/Conf.L.

 

Ultimately our wage bill was unsustainably big for a club of our size. I don’t think 1 or 2 seasons in the CL groups would change that.

Rangers and Celtic don't get premiership money. If we had got a Champions league spot those two seasons and got to the last 16 (big if I know) then that would have generated £60m. That's what we owe now and why Fofana had to go.

Good point. Champions league money is utterly massive for us, just for qualifying we can expect to make around £40m when you add in gate receipts. For context we get £3.5m or somewhere around that figure for prize money and TV rights for winning the SPFL.

Only speculation but BR  could be gone tonight so I've been informed, not sure how true this is though.

But far more likely than not we wouldn’t have made the last 16 given our seedlings. 

 

And that £60mil isn’t subtracting the money we actually got for getting to the knockout stages of the EL and Conference League.

 

We’d probably have made about an extra £30mil or something if we’d made the CL in both seasons and that’s about it. Not a small amount but it wouldn’t have had a particularly huge impact on the current state of the club I don’t think.

If we can't afford to sack him and he obviously won't resign maybe our best hope is that things improve enough for another club to come in for him. Not a huge improvement in case the club decide to try and keep hold of him, but enough of an improvement for a club like Wolves, Villa etc to see him as a good option that they may be able to get on the cheap.
