We are always on about how much a player costs but never managers or the coaching staff. Who's the most expensive manager out there? Who is a bargain? Who is overpriced?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Didn't SAF once say none of his players should earn more than him. I think it was maybe to do with Wooney. Correct me if I am wrong. I've always thought managers should get just as good of a wage as the players.
It is amazing to hear that the boss gets much much less than the employee.
Wenger is the 3rd highest paid manager in the league 
It is not a typical employer/employee relationship.
The coach or manager isn't really the boss though. The owner or board is the boss.
At my last job (commercial insurance sales) I took home considerably more than my manager but nowhere near the boss.
Even still though, it's not like Ed Woodward is going to taking home more than the players. So it's not just the manager. Even the Glazers aren't making that much a year.
That's because the "boss" is easier to replace than some of his employees. Quality wise, the managers' market is more even than the players' market.
