If the bloke wants a managerial job, and the only role right for him in the last 11 or whatever years is in league one, of course he'll do it for league one money. What would be the point in pricing himself out of the only managerial work he can get? It would be a big drop from what he's on currently but he's got loads of money, he could retire and never earn another penny and live a very comfortable life. He'd want a fair wage and if we improved he'd want his pay to improve as well, but it's mad to suggest he'd walk away because a club won't massively overpay him. If anything he might ask to ask be allowed to do some TV work for extra coin when it doesn't interfere with the job here, but I seriously doubt he'd turn us down because we aren't paying a league one manager Premier league money

Genuinely think £20k a week isn’t overpaying at all. There are players in the national league earning £1000’s a week. To get a manager of his stature £15-20k a week would be decent I believe. The money in football is disgusting.

Jermain Defoe alone got the club an extra £250,000 yesterday in ticket sales. I imagine Keane would have similar effect. We have a billionaire owner, if we want to get out of this league we need to pay what we need to pay.

Much less. You're assuming average ticket value of £25, which ignores concessions. Secondly, ticket sales include VAT, which goes to HMRC, not the club. It's probably somewhere in the £160-175k range. Still substantial admittedly.
