Likely not
But Bayern Munich apparently are interested in the recently appointed Crystal Palace manager (which, if it happened, would open whole new levels of anxiety on this board) but were quoted over €100m.
I get why managers command lower "transfer fees", because they can resign at any point and a player cannot. But someone like McKenna is way more important to Ipswich than any player at the moment, and if we are talking about £20m for Leif Davis, then it makes logical sense to think more for McKenna. (Logistically, not legally as per his contract).
With upcoming potential new Bosman-like legal challenges to footballers' working rights, which I *think* may in effect allow them to resign, like any other employee, it may increase the financial worth of managers in relation to players.

I'm not sure I understand the line: "I get why managers command lower "transfer fees", because they can resign at any point and a player cannot."
If a player or a manager is under contract, what is it that makes one of them able to resign and the other not? |  | | |

You’re right - contractually a manager is in no different a situation to a player.
I suspect there are two reasons why managers move for lower fees than players:
1. A failed manager has basically no resale value whereas a failed player will (albeit lower than his previous transfer fee).
2. It’s always been that way, and tradition plays an unnaturally high role in professional football. |  | | |

Think you can also add in;
3 - managers have more power. If a player messes you around for a move you can get stubborn, assign them to the u-21s etc and minimise the disruption. If a manager downs tools, it impacts the whole club. An unhappy manager is far more dangerous than an unhappy player | |

As I understand it, managers are subject to the same legal contract framework as you or i when taking employment, and as such can resign with notice as a basic working right.
Footballers, I think, are not. They have specific employment rules, and as such you don't see footballers resign as you do other workers. Though I think there's a case in EU court later this year which could be as big as Bosman was. | | | |
