Did we not get 15 mil for AA this summer?  How can we not afford 5 and think of the wages off the books from last year. Surely we can spend 1.7 above what we sold JR for 

Expand  

We had a whole season with no gate income…

Blimey, Danny Drinkwater at Reading on £6m+ a year and they are 4th from bottom.

Expand  

How can they afford those wages and not be under embargo…oh wait.

He's on loan, so don't imagine they are fielding that bill. They got deducted 6 points for failing FFP and have restricted transfers to avoid another 6 points deduction.

 

Expand  

Probably but £6m a year for Danny Drinkwater in any shape or form is mental.

They've got the other lad from Chelsea on loan too and he's on a big wage.

So Reading can afford to pay £25/k per week and stay out of arbitration but we can’t?  Madness 

Expand  

Reading been deducted points and they are/were under some sort of transfer restrictions I think

But I thought we sold our training grounds to cover that?  I was told the AA sales is on this years books.

Wasting your breath, to a few of these posters, relegation to league 1, ffp, turnover, attendance, covid and previous debt means nothing and is simply an excuse.

Ok maybe - so how does that explain Nyambe, Lenihan, Travis and Kaminski who are all going the same way?

Expand  

It doesn’t. Just paying a 27 year old those wages on 1/2 a season of success. Don’t get me wrong I’d prefer we have him, but if Bournemouth don’t go up that wage bill will catch up to them

Paying Poveda 11K a week whilst he’s injured is stinging us big time.

11k a week? Are we mental, what a fucking joke, that is rothwell plus nyambe salaries together. Who the hell sanctioned that.

Ayala looks a bit of a luxury as our joint highest paid player. And Dack hasn't played in so long.

Gallagher £13,000 a week 😕

Tin foil hat time. Mowbray signed Rothwell, is there a chance that he’s entitled to a percentage of the profit we make on players he signs? I don’t believe that’s a massively unusual set up in football and it would explain why he’s so keen to sell…

Expand  

He does often seem a bit too keen to help players on their way from here. Although i think it's more his uncle Tony routine rather than anything greed driven.

You'd think he'd be begging the lad to stay, until summer at least, not holding the bloody door open for him.

Does that season count towards FFP?

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

It stings having to see him go to Bournemouth and it may well see them finish above us but Rothwell sticking around the group when his head is clearly elsewhere could equally derail the season. How would he play for us now? The reaction at Ewood would be toxic. 

Tomorrow makes or breaks our season. A couple of suitable replacements and we might be fine. 

[Tormund]

Can’t be correct if Edun, Davenport, JRC are on more than Rothwell 😂

That entire list feels like wages and names are in revere order of each other.

He came from Oxfords bench where he was probably on less so why not ?

If his agent is supposedly spouting he can x5 or 6 his wages elsewhere then that figure sounds about right.

[superniko]

How sweet is it going to be watching them lose in the playoffs again whilst we’re already on the promotion beach. 
I wanted promotion in the PNE match but changed that to the Bournemouth match now.

Imagine fancying rocking up to the part-timers under the clown Parker. If they fail this year they’re in the doldrums for the feasible, pissing money each year.

I meant as in shock to how low it is. Suppose you don’t realise until you see it.

[islander200]

Lads those wages won't be accurate, loads of similar sites have differing wages.

Like few I looked at other week had Dack 18.5.Gally was on 20k at Southampton and he dropped it to 13 to come here?It was  2 or 3 years he had left on that deal

He's still on the initial contract when he was signed from League One, which probably explains it.

Never in a million years should we be paying £11,000 per week for Poveda. Even if he was healthy 

Expand  

So half of our very higest earners only have acouple of dozen starts between them tjis season , Yet the likes of ryan and Brereton are still getting paid relative peanuts according to that. 

Just gut to see the funny side i suppose 😄

Buckley can too but doesn't have as much raw pace. Rothwell is quite rare for a central midfield player in being so pacy and good at carrying the ball.

That stat show the players salary of their "mother" club. When on loan, there is no indication on how much of it we are paying. E.g Drinkwater on loan at Reading at 120k a week (Chelsea contract).

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We are second in the league Venkys...where the fcuk are you financially when we have such a massive opportunity before us?

Not happy one bit he's been allowed to leave.
