January 15, 201610 yr I don't think this is an area any manager (SA, OC or anyone else) would have control over. It would, or should,be a requirement from the board. However, agents would always look to amend such clauses and maybe suggest their charges could not accept same. Either say no to a 'star' or increase the chance of relegation happening by not signing him. Maybe not but their was Def a change in mindset somewhere along the line Guess someone felt we had to be more careful when we first came up, then got complacent But think we know that now anyway
January 16, 201610 yr Charlie Austin, £4m! QPR another club run as badly as us and heading in the same direction. When do they pay that FFP fine?
January 16, 201610 yr They don't go up this season and they'll be bust before Christmas. I've a mate who supports QPR and he sees them in our position if they don't go up this year
January 18, 201610 yr Newcastle will be kickin themselves over that one not if, like david gold suggests, he's on 100k a week and got dodgy knees http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3403830/West-Ham-owner-David-Gold-claims-Charlie-Austin-s-Southampton-deal-not-bargain-wages-100-000-week.html
January 18, 201610 yr He is on nowhere near £100k a week, Gold has always been a gobshite. Austin was on £35k a week at QPR, be surprised if he is now getting even £50k a week!
January 18, 201610 yr Ameobi has gone! Not quite. He will be gone at the end of his contract, which is sometime this week. He'll still be available against Eastleigh tomorrow.

Austin was on £35k a week at QPR, be surprised if he is now getting even £50k a week! he wanted 45k a week last summer when he was being linked for £15M (his wages apparently went down to 25k when QPR went down)
January 18, 201610 yr He might not want to be cup tied in case one of the big boys comes in for himHe should have thought about that before the first game.
January 18, 201610 yr He should have thought about that before the first game. I didn't even realise he came on as a sub. I must have been either drinking or not paying attention.
January 18, 201610 yr I didn't even realise he came on as a sub. I must have been either drinking or not paying attention. Both.
January 18, 201610 yr I must have been either drinking or not paying attention. Him too, judging by that open goal he missed.
January 18, 201610 yr Sheffield Wednesday in for Jordan Rhodes apparently £12 million rovers want,anyone paying that for him want their head examining. Also Danny graham going Blackburn on loan, how the hell do they afford it on their crowds
January 18, 201610 yr Sheffield Wednesday in for Jordan Rhodes apparently £12 million rovers want,anyone paying that for him want their head examining. Also Danny graham going Blackburn on loan, how the hell do they afford it on their crowds Sheffield Wednesday, Forest, Blackburn, Cardiff, QPR, Middlesborough, Derby, Hull, Fulham all spending massively above their income. The stakes to gamble on promotion are getting higher and higher, there's plenty will end up where we are given promotion failure without suicidal financial governance. It's a band wagon we should be relieved to get off.

It's a band wagon we should be relieved to get off. That should be captured and pinned up somewhere. Something we should all believe it.
January 18, 201610 yr Ameobi going and maybe others to go as well. Certainly none coming in but the loan market opens in Feb. I think we can jump to March with fuck all incomings. Other teams will use this window to strengthen we will either stay the same or most likely weaken. We're financially fucked and can't attract good enough to compete at this level. We are going down.
