The club will know the market rates for players and managers. We have 3 general managers and a HR director on the payroll and for all their faults, they will have the insight.
You will have knowledge of the wages of ex managers and I wouldn't be shocked if we were talking £500k plus. With back office changes a change to an experienced manager probably comes with a £1m tag.
I remember when BBM was appointed. The CEO said that BBM had bought into the budgets at the club and would work without an assistant in order to save cash. So BBM was a cheap option and he was never supported. That doesn't mean it was wrong...and he did use the resources from the Academy to support him. The short term boost has evaporated and we lack experience. But it was affordable
To be honest this position has been caused by the Board. There is a danger they hang BBM out to dry when he has done what he can given his experience. But we are heading to the trap door now and the Board can't leave this to fester. Get him some help and support (even the mighty Steve Bruce at Newcastle has brought in some extra help to guide him) or do the right thing. The players have capability to keep us up if focussed. The clubs fan base is dying and we won't survive a League Two battle based on our current income.
