Toony 95 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 There's definitely something wrong, money I think. To make that club competitive next season they're going to have to rebuild and spend some serious money, any manager knows that. Next season will be one of the most competitive Championship seasons ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 They've been hemorrhaging money for years, £20-30m a season Their wage bill last season was over £80m. Lee Cattermole and John O'Shea are on £50k a week, Borini on £60k. Looks like Short has given up and wants out but wants £100m, that is £30m more than what Villa went for.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 The club have said McInnes has turned them down because they're in talks to sell the club and new owners might not want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 So Ellis Short wants out, the wage bill is huge, there's no creativity or end product left in the team and they've got rid of their one sellable asset already. It's not a very attractive proposition for an owner or a Manager. There saving grace is Forest, QPR, Burton and Bristol City are a lot worse than them. But I wouldn't be surprised to see them closer to the bottom three than the top six unless something big changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,361 Posted June 29, 2017 Administrator Share Posted June 29, 2017 Haven't got the link but Sunderland have asked Preston to speak to Simon Grayson and Grayson told his club he wants to speak to them about the manager's job.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 The takeover is also off and Ellis Short is staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Grayson is a decent appointment I think, he probably thinks he's taken Preston as far as he can and he's done a very good job there considering the budget they've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
