The fact is we won’t ever be able to compete for star players and run of the mill ones cost £20m so we need to rethink and go back to buying and developing promising youngsters or buying in cheaper markets like Scotland, In a way we seem to have started the former we need to give a few a try out.
There are many championship sides who can outspend us now so it isn’t getting easier even if we go down.

Even your suggestion seems difficult to put into reality OC...http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/...break-through/

It is not a matter of the underdog card, it is the reality of just what has happened to football and it filters down to all levels.
Up here in the north east there are clubs playing at Level 10 and players are demanding a minimmum of £100 before they will even consider getting out of bed. One of these clubs gets an average attendance of 36!
No wonder that quite a number of clubs are going to the wall because their owners can't afford to keep them going.
We even have players turning out on Sunday morning that are asking for payment.
Football has indeed gone mad and is being ruined by greedy players and their agents. ---I wouldn't care, but it is not even as good to watch as it used to be.

Oh dear, this isn't looking good. There is one consistent message Sean is putting out now with every press conference, although he doesn't put it quite so obviously, 'I've taken this club as far as I can'.

He won't be here much longer.

But where would he go? Not the big 6 for sure they all want foreigners as does most of the PL with only 4 English managers left! Warnock and Hodgson being two nearing the end and Eddie the other. Mark Hughes counts for GB.

Completely agree Sinkov.He has lost patience with the board and I for one do not blame him.He will be plying his trade elsewhere as soon as a good offer comes along from a club willing to spend and give him the tools for the job.

Similar down here Supersub, Clitheroe are one of the best supported teams in the division, gate money was £35K last season, but player expenses were £51K, (around £1,600 a week), there are plenty who pay more though, and a bit like Burnley they struggle to compete. They made up that £16K deficit and turned a profit, but it's hard work by a small group of people, not a benefactor, that keeps them going.

Who knows where he would go OC, but 8 PL managers were sacked before the end of the January window last season, there's no reason to think another 8 or so vacancies won't be coming up this season as well, it's the nature of the beast. And 5 of those jobs went to British managers, Hodgson, Allardyce, Moyes, Pardew, and Lambert. I think Sean has proved himself as capable as any of them by now, it's wishful thinking imo, to think he won't be getting offers, and wishful thinking to think he won't be receptive to some of them.
