I suspect that the proven candidates being mentioned in connection with the vacancy, will all expect to be remunerated in the region of £2m.
Would David Moyes, ex Everton, Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and West Ham United come for less?
Would Sam Allardyce, ex Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham United, Sunderland, England, Crystal Palace, Everton, Bolton Wanderers, come for less?
The list of candidates with reasonable CV's who would want £2+ goes on, including Jokanovic
That leaves us with those desperate for the job and with not such impressive CV's
1. Neil (may not be desperate)
2. McInnes
3. Rowett
4. Carvalhal
5. Hughes
6. Appleton
The school of thought that Jokanovic is expensive and would be paid more than players is flawed in my view. I'm not an accountant, but as I understand it, for tax purposes, players have a book value, which is written down over time and allows us a tax benefit on an loss of value.
So, surely a players value to the club including wages would be a loss more than £2m a year to the club and continues to diminish during his employment with us. I understand we can sell the asset and realise a cash value, which we would be taxed on and may or may offset loses, but if his market value diminishes for whatever reason, we could have lost more heavily than taking a punt on Jokanovic.
The above probably doesn't make sense to a qualified accountant, but I hope I've explained a point of view, which could also be flawed regarding the loss incurred by players as well as a Head Coach that I think, from my logic, would be less than a player. if we have an accountant on the forum, perhaps he / she would comment on my theory?
