[Archived] Chris Brown

[Mike Graham]

Sadly CB was sick and could not make today's squad.

I would love CB to score.

I do hear however that a recent Rovers MD (who is now on the shelf as far as Rovers are concerned) agreed a contract that gave CB £10,000 as a bonus when he scores his first goal for us.

I would hate CB to score.

If he was paid per goal he'd be down at the local food bank by now.

Who buys a striker and gives them a 10k bonus for scoring.

Isn't that their job?

Like employing a joiner and paying him for hammering in his first nail.

It's not that long ago when we were employing carpenter's, not joiners !

Maybe it s a motivational tool.

It is common. A recently departed striker was on £5k per goal. Similarly a lot of goalkeepers have clean sheet bonuses in their contracts.

[tomphil]

I wonder if any % of that motivational tool would find it's way back to it's benefactor or those who made that very strange signing ?

If Venky's did the unthinkable and made a budget available thank Christ that goofy green flash geezer is not around to sign off / alter the contracts.

[Pedro]

This is all quite wide of the mark. Chris was actually in Dortmund finalising talks and penning a Bosman move in the summer to Borussia (due to us dragging our feet as usual).

Common mate that. I know a young lad who's just broke into the shelf Utd first team as wing back and the other week they won and kept a clean sheet and his wages that week went from £400 to £3k

I know a lad who started the season at Barrow in the National league and he was on a bonus for each goal he scored. Imagine if a chance came along were squaring the ball to a team mate meant he had an easy tap in, but your chance was 50/50. Do you square the ball and ensure the teams score or go for the 50/50 as the Mortgage is due? Also as the fans cheer a goal and the scorer appears to be seeking their adulation, is he thinking brilliant, the team and supporters needed this, or, that's ££££££££££££ in my account? The game has descended into chaos I am afraid!

Does he need any help with the negotiations?

Sadly Fortunately CB was sick and could not make today's squad.

Corrected for you.

Think Lambert likes Chris Brown as a substitute so that Danny Graham can be taken off or rested.This way he can manage to get through the 90 minutes given that Graham is 31 later this year and a tad injury prone,although very effective for us.

Is that where Derek Shaw went?

That doesn't mean he likes Brown though does it. He has no-one else to put on. If the JW statue was registered as a player he would just as soon wheel that on, who would notice the difference?

[Pedro]

Wherever he goes next, he is absolutely nailed on to score against us.
