Following relegation - what next? What's the plan guys?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

First of all, decide which players will have to be sold, we don't need a manager for that, it's a job for the accountants. Then when we have the finances back under control we need to decide on the budget for next year. Once we know how much money there will be to spend on incoming players and their wages, then we can look for a manager. Until we can tell the next manager how much we can afford to pay him, and what his budget will be, there's no point looking for one.

Pope, McNeil, Cornet, Brownhill and Taylor are all clearing out their lockers mon ami. Pace will borrow/mortgage the money until the transfer fees come in.

Money?

Not a problem.

Good, so they've done the first thing they needed to do, now we need to see how much money they bring in, if it's enough then fine, if not then we need to draw up a 2nd list.

At least we'll now be able to give prospective managers the names of 14 players who won't be playing for them next season, and will need replacing. I know managers are gluttons for punishment, but if I was a Championship level manager looking for a job, I'd be sorely tempted to pass this one up and look elsewhere.
