I think we'd be more attractive than Leeds and could in theory pay more wages than the other 2.
I think it depends on the player in this example. Went to city and was quickly replaced hence possibly looking for a way out.

I think it’s a straight shootout between us and villa. Martinez is looking to leave, I’m uncertain about our situation with Vicario. I think the fans want him replacing and there is a possible return to Italy for him. But I make Villa the favourites currently

Guess it depends who our next permanent head coach is to persuade Trafford that we are the next step on his path to having a glorious career… as Emery has turned Villa into a Top 4 team plus he’s won as many UEFA competitions as all of our managers put together, so can imagine signing for him would be appealing prospect for any ambitious player but at least we can pay higher wages than Villa.

Hasn’t that been part of their FFP situation with paying higher wages? I’m not sure. At the moment Villa will be in for a keeper, currently there is no noise from our squad that Vicario is on his way out. If Villa were smart, which they are … they hey would have been tapping him up already.
 
It Igor has a stunning run to the end of the season then I would not be against him having deserved it

Lets see, but its def a shop window for both IMO
We are not jammy Chelsea … I bet if Chelsea were in the same position as us and hired Tudor they would finish in the top 6 and win the CL lol

Well sign Emery too.

I don't think we should be judging on 12 games either way, I'm struggling to think when a short term fix and gone on to achieve much after they have been kept on?

Ole didn't do to badly, despite the noise around him.
 
For all the talk/hope/rumours of the Return of the Poch for next season….. if the unthinkable happens and we are relegated, is the challenge of getting us straight back up enough for him? Is managing a Championship side going to be the level he wants to work at? And if not, what are our feasible options (apart from Ryan Mason)?

What is Chris Hughton up to at the mo?

Wouldn’t be able to afford him.

McKenna would make sense at that point.
