I seem to remember reading somewhere not long ago that Mark Hughes was on less than £ 1m pa at Stoke compared to £ 15m for the likes of Guardiola or Mourinho, but that may be just the basic and ignore performance bonuses. Thus I would doubt an untested championship manager would be on much more than £ 0.5 million which would be less than the top players under his control. I think Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was on 40k a year when Burton got promoted! Clough probably pays Burton to do the job!
