Article in Sunday Express saying takeover imminent.....

what are we paying him?

Nobody will really know the answer to that until the new Football Manager is released. Not even Ben Amos.

It was reported he was on £10k a week at united. We cant afford players who are on somewhere around that once our parachute payments stop.

what are we paying him?

Less than Bogdan I'd wager.

agreed

 

probably still more than we can afford

 

3k a week average

It was reported he was on £10k a week at united. We cant afford players who are on somewhere around that once our parachute payments stop.

 

Maybe he was. (And maybe he wasn't.)

 

But his career was going nowhere and he wasn't going to get game time.

 

I think he'd be prepared to halve that to become a first choice.

3k a week average

 

If our average is £3k, and that seems eminently sensible, then paying more for a basically sound goalkeeper seems worthwhile. For all we need goals we do need to be able to restrict opponents' scoring as far as possible.

And he will have a sell-on value.

unless we cant afford to pay him and we end up paying somebody to take him off us!

 

always look on the bright side of life

i bet the wages are far more than most think.

in 1999 mike whitlow was on £4000 a week.

 

a certain young striker who is injured is on £6000 a week..deffo itk

I generally think that players are on far less than some people think, some of the figures bandied around seem ludicrous. I heard somebody on Saturday complaining how Mavies is taking £40K per week and never seems to be fit

How much was Mr N'Gog on for the 2 years he blessed us with his greatness?

too fucking much

65k a week in division fcuking 2

 

with that wonderful hindsight thing, we'd have been better off not sacking megson

 

even if we'd been relegated the team he left was fcuking miles better than the dross captain clap left behind

I'm not sure how long this remember the good times shit rides with me anymore. It's in the past now where the current team is very much the now.

 

Anyone who thinks we are well run have got to be on a wind up???

 

Pointing up to further in the Fred, stoke and wba are clearly better run than us, they can spend more money simply cos they can and we can spend 10k on woolery.

 

I know which I prefer.

Megson was horse shit. The fact the people who came in after him were also shit, doesn't make him better.

Stoke are owned by a billionaire. Our Eddie only had a couple of hundred million. Had.

Didn't Megson and his agent mate drop all the relegation clauses out of player contracts?

Did a man in the pub tell you that?

It'll happen today as I'm having Thai Chicken Curry for me tea

Why is this thread titled "Thai" takeover.

 

Can it be renamed "Takeover and players wages gossip"

It's a snapshot in time though mate

 

Not long back it would have been said that us and Charlton where we'll run whilst Southampton etc were a fucking shambles

 

It's a completely different story now

 

5 years down the line and it might be the complete opposite again

 

It's all relative to who is in the premier league getting the TV money and associated benefits (sponsorship, gate receipts, player sales) vs who is in a lower division dying on their arse

 

Of the 72 league teams not in the premier league how many who people say are genuinely well run? I can't think of any stand out candidates

 

Even the big ones who can demand good gate receipts (Leeds, sheff weds, sheff Utd, Boro, Pompey, Bristol City, Brum) have all been a shambles off the pitch for a large part of the last few seasons

 

Without the money of the Prem or a benefactor willing to lose millions then you have to get super lucky and win the lottery to do something. I.e find the new BSA and / or land on a couple of strikers like Burnley did with Austin & Ings

 

Everyone is looking for the same thing though which makes it hard

yes it does

It doesn't mean he was a good manager though.

 

Just less shit than the other shit bastards.

Or he was so shit that the board got rid of him before he could do more damage

Think you can add Derby to that list too. Money they spent in the close season, if they dont go up its got to hurt them.
