    Average, doesn't mean he is going to get it. Only takes 1 club to pay well above the odds to bring it to that kind of figure. They are going to want to get him for as cheap as possible. Plenty of players earn more than their Manager now days

    I think people are getting over excited in the absence of news.

    Remember summer of 2022? Our new manager was a nobody, the apparently irreplaceable Kyle Wootton and Cal Roberts had left us and we'd bought a pair of 6th tier nobodys to fill that gap and it was unclear how we were going to ever accomplish anything ever again.

    Luke leaving is not what we wanted, but it happens and it shows joining us can be a pathway to bigger things for up and coming players and managers.

    Last couple of decades we've been a club where you might come to steal a last payday if you were past it.

    If he leaves, chances are we will recruit another good manager. If Macca leaves in summer, chances are we will recruit another good striker. The plan is to be like a lower league Brighton, where players and managers come and go but we profit and get gradually better in the meantime.

    I know this is really boring but my plan of action is wait and see what happens. If we have a massive drop off in form I'll get down about it. Until then I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I suspect our long term plan is to be a Brighton.
