I got the impression...

that the expence was not just about sacking Worthington but also the cost of bringing someone new in. If we wanted to appoint someone from another club we would have to pay compensation to that club so I may be wrong but it seems to me that the only real options would be to bring in either someone who is currently out of work (and they are out of work for a reason), to employ someone who has never managed before or to promote someone from within. I think the club are therefore right when they say sacking Worthington does not guarantee that we will do any better because we would have either a failed manager, someone who we cannot know for sure will be any good or someone from the current regime who will continue to work in the same way. Now I know some of you would prefer one of those options but surely people can understand why the club are being cautious?
