Point I was making was that the manager value compared to players is completely disproportionate. A player is only 1/11th of a team, yet the manager, particularly in the case of Sean is worth only 1/10th of Michael Keane. Can't be right.......
Yes it seems back to front to me too.
Of course the value is really seen in what fee is paid to transfer the manager as well as their salary. That depends on market forces and if two want the same person prices can go much higher than their worth or true value. The sums just now seem buttons too. We could afford Pellegrino and rejected Villas Boas for Laws!
