lets hope we get a manager we can afford

ive seen people whinging or moaning or chucking martin o neils name about or they dont want ardley as manager because of this or that. but the most important thing is we dont pay over the odds like we did with jones..
i heard di matteo and houghton were on around 300k what if o neil wants around 600k do we want him? ok he got celtic a few titles which is not the hardest plus got up through the play offs with a decent side would he want big transfer cash??. i'd rather take a risk on a manager hungry to prove himself ardley houghton de matteo etc on less wages..
i remember people laughing when the jacks got rodgers :roll:
reading and norwich brought in good managers with little experience and done well..
do we really need to sign dinosaurs like o neil or curbishley?

Chris Hughton seems to be a bargain if he's offering his services for £250,000

yes id like him here. nice well respected guy with no doubt plenty of contacts in the game plus not in the same wage bracket as martin o neil

oniell is a top manager but would cost easily same as dj if not over a 1mil.... he was 2-3 mil a year at villa.... hughton is obviously the cheaper option, but as said you pay for what you get..

oniell is a proven premiership manager, with quality, and good contacts.. if we cannot come any where near his terms then we will have to see what is right for the club and who is the best manager available at our disposal...
