I hope that this appointment works for us too, but you have to accept that if it does then other people at larger clubs with more money are going to be coming in offering packages that we simply cannot compete with. That's not speculation, that is fact. And it doesn't matter if your Craig Brewster, Walter Smith, or Alex Ferguson, although the further up the pay scale you go the fewer teams there are above you that can afford to poach your manager and/or players.
The only way other clubs aren't going to be coming in and making such offers is if the manager/players aren't performing.
If the manager/players aren't performing then we aren't going to be making any progress and they will be shown the door.
Their is no logic to what you are trying to say and it is hinged purely on the fantasy that we could somehow have a successful manager that wouldn't move on for a larger pay packet. Pele did, Robbo did and Brewster has once already. The "he is less likely to jump ship again" idea is utter poppycock and I would not expect him to stay if he was being offered more elsewhere (I would however expect him to be a man of his word and not announce one day he is staying and play the loyalty card only to resign 48 hours later).
I'd far rather have 10 successful managers in 10 years than 1 mediocre one for the same length of time. That is the point I ma trying to make.
