ErnestTurnip Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Wry smile from me when he discusses Chicksen being brave enough to play his last game as we don't want to base things on 6 month contracts and in the same game plays 2 players starting 6 month loans.

Moderators Casino Posted January 13, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2020 Aye, pretty sure Chicksen would've stayed as long as we were willing to keep him Getting shut of him makes no sense to me No sense at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrycowdrill Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He’s clearly not been happy with him. Been in and out for a few weeks obviously thinks we have / can get better. Not sure we have better or anything at all as I’ve no idea when Bunney is due back? ive seen us have worse at LB in the last few years. So he must have something lined up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Odd rant. Hopefully he’s clearing the pink behaviour out of his system for next season. That’s all I can put it down too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely reads Social Media He definitely thinks hes a big cheese (not onions) I am happy for him to build a squad for next season, young hungry players and an identity to how we play. But for me, hes got until October next season, if we aren't thereabouts on that shit league is a gonner! And in the meantime hes got to find a top young striker, because I cannot see Big Daz Murphy as part of his plans next season or Paul O'Grady. Mo faala?

I don't know the answer, but I'd be interested to know if it's above or below £2,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted January 13, 2020 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2020 It is claimed 1 - 1.5k a week average I know we are told we are limited to 2 but whether that reduces on relegation I dunno That lad, billy clark?, we had pre season who went to Plymouth and has just moved on, was offered 600 a week by us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hill has never acheived anything higher than a promotion to League1 and failed at Barnsley. Was unemployed when BWFC reached out and he claimed he'd have crawled over broken glass to get here. He has an excellent opportunity to raise his stock, but claiming that he's putting his neck & reputation on the line is bollocks. Poundshop Mourinho trying to be clever.

This & the summer transfer windows, then 3 monthsish into next season for players to settle in. At that point we don't have to be top of the league, I'm not expecting us to run away with it next season, but i would definitely expect us to be showing some sort of a plan & a clear improvement by then.

It's genuinely shocking if that wage offer is true, there will be hundreds of season ticket holders on a bigger wage than the players.When Tranmere were relegated to Conference surely they'd be paying their strikers 31k a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatanGreavsie Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm sure there was a link a bit back to a report comparing 2014 wages to 30 years earlier. In 1984 it was a linear progression from 4th tier to 1st, with the 4th tier average above - but not super-generously so - the national average wage. Then by the time you got to the top tier it was 3.5 times as big as the 4th. In 2014 it was 35 times as big; 10 times in 2nd tier. But the 4th tier wage was proportionally the same as in 1984. Or summat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In context, that was for a 32 year old who’s done as many cruciate ligaments in the last two years as he’s scored goals. I’m pleased it’s Grimsby who have taken a punt on him and not us.

bwfcfan5 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Lets say you pay a player X amount to get them here. We're league 2 - we go up. Then you pay some more players a bit more to compete in league one. All the time we're breaking even or making a small loss. Then after a year or 2 mid table in league one, fans get bored and stop coming. And we're making a bigger loss. Then what? The point is that we've spent a decade spending money on the likes of Craig Conway - for at best a short shot of success followed by failure. The only signing model that's ever made sense was Sam Allardyce paying big bucks for stars who'd fallen by the way side at big clubs and rejuvenating their careers. But that model isn't possible anymore. Everything else for us has been throwing what we can't afford at players who mainly aren't good enough to stop the inevitable. In the last decade we've slowly slid down the leagues with only the league one promotion and championship survival bucking the downward trend. But even that was based on paying what we couldn't afford to sustain very short term "success". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Pushing 35, struggled a bit with injuries the last couple of seasons? If we’re identifying players we’d like but also putting a realistic value on them based on a number of different criteria then I’m happy. It’s better than paying them whatever they want plus 10pc for their agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
