Wasn't he meant to be closely related to one of the takeover bids for us?
Now he's DoF at Derby...

He was 'involved/advising' the Americans was the rumour. He was pictured at the Aol having a look about.

But it would have to fit in with the division one pay-scale. Only 2.5 million to pay everyone, including agents fees. Poyet would need to be paid in shares or backhanders to come here.

Massive promotion bonus as incentive.

Do you think he'd take accept a yearly salary of say £100k to £150k regardless of bonus size?
If we were to pay more than this (in this fictional arrangement), I'd expect it would impact on the quality of players we could buy/pay. I hope these Uruguayan starlet wonderkids come cheap...

It doesn’t include managers does it?

I personally think he wouldn't be a bad shout in that role of DOF or whatever they call it. But isn't happening. Schwarz would be choice now, knows the area, absolutely loved it here. Plenty of contacts and most importantly, has played the game at the highest level. Very intelligent bloke aswel. Too many positives there for him to end up here i suppose

Sure I read it was costs associated with players only ie wages bonus agent fees etc

He's already quoted he wants to come back...so there is your answer.

Schwartz as DOF and Poyet as First Team Manager. I know Poyet seemed the clash with the DOF position when here but I could think of worse appointments. Both are definitely miles better than what we currently have in place.

things here are so bad, that Schteve actually sounds like a good appointment. Jesus.

That's what people aren't/weren't grasping..it wasn't to take over Parkinson. It was as a Sporting Director. Nothing to do with managing the team.

Wasn't that quote from donkey's back - said he had 'unfinished' business?

Stefan schwarz?? Why?
Because he played for us 20 years ago?
No thanks
How’s he qualified?

Not sure. I've had another look - I don't know if it's just the playing squad or the full monty. I have a feeling you're probably right.

Only senior players wages count. He could be paid as much as we'd like, but he'd have to work with the players you can get for that wage budget, at least until promotion.
