huh,
Lambert is reported to be 50K per week? 
Toure at 75K per week? 

A squad, backup, aging players are having such a wages, no wonder always "cannot afford".
So generous...

Good read this.

The club is looking to further cut their wage bill. Knowing that Stevie is on $150,000 a week and Sterling wants the same amount makes it seem that much more ridiculous. Sterling isn't even half the player Stevie was in his prime and he wants equal pay with a living legend.

I don't think it is a good idea at all.
FSG saved the club on the brink of financial difficulty.
Also, FSG has done a lot of good work to the club, as compared to previous period.

The slump has a lot of to do with failure in transfer dealing, if there is no top manager available, sticking with BR may the better option in worst scenario.
Hiring another midtable manager is not a good option.

No club will announce the sacking of their manager at this period of time as well as before any plan of succession has ironed out.
There is no benefit to tell media about the manager position whether he is on the brink or not.

Might as we ll abolish transfer committee entirely, for the last 3 years, the transfer dealing was poor mostly, be it identifying good player or wages negotiation or ability to sign targeted players.
