ianofcleveleys Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 The issue for me is such big wage funds being tossed to Freedman and (in Amos and Madine's cases) Lennon without any relegation clauses being inserted. Could maybe understand Freedman seducing PG and ED in the previous Summer transfer window that we'd piss promotion after his eye catching late run the back end of the previous season, but the wages chucked at Trotter and Feeney, players rejected by one of the smallest clubs in the bottom half of the Championship, beggar belief. In Lennon's case, surely the picture was clearer this Summer, as little had been made available last Jan, and therefore no sense in throwing such huge wages after Amos when we'd other pressing priorities and, FFS, Madine isn't worth a weekly wage with a nought taken off. Nixon's article, even if not 100% accurate highlights that our wage bill in League 1 will be bordering on ridiculous. As I live in the area and know at Oldham ST holder, I had sight of an article about their financial position the other day. There's a lot in it that would make those of us getting so exercised about our position take a step back and think it could be worse, but the stand-out thing was the sort of wages their players and management / coaching staff are on. If still with us next season (can't see how he wouldn't be), Trotter will earn as much in a week for trundling round as he does as their assistant manager will earn in a year, while Madine's wages would buy you pretty much all their back four.

Guest GudniB Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Heard from a completely reliable source today that the rumour about spearing not playing due to appearance bonuses in his contract is 100% true. If that is the case (and I would think it quite likely) someone must have decided recently that they would put up the extra cash to play Spearing. So who might do that? Quote
gonzo Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 If that is the case (and I would think it quite likely) someone must have decided recently that they would put up the extra cash to play Spearing. So who might do that? Maybe he said he'd play for just his basic? Quote
Cheese Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I know for a fact appearance bonuses are massive. A relative of mine who's on our books came off the bench a couple of times last season, and he basically earned an extra week's wages in 10 minutes. I've never met him mind, just heard through the family vine. Quote

Rembrandt Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Would Admin solve anything ? Or would ED bollox that up too ? Quote
darrener Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Twitter says its actually Monday today. So it's today. or next 48 hours seems popular Quote
Rembrandt Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 or next 48 hours seems popular Next 48 days. Eddie's having a think. Quote
HomerJay Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Have we gone into administration yet? Twitter said Monday! You do know Twitter lacks any intelligence. Artificial or otherwise. Quote
Eavesy Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 You do know Twitter lacks any intelligence. Artificial or otherwise. To be fair it's artificial intelligence is probably a lot higher than human. Quote

Horwich Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Are holdsworths lot not like the glazers (in sort of a way?) Future income use to pay for club?? Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Are holdsworths lot not like the glazers (in sort of a way?) Future income use to pay for club?? It's Eddie taking the future funding SS seem to be chucking in 20 million. Quote
Horwich Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Id more likely say its eddie getting something for the club. It does have some value. SS dont seem to have the funds to pay for this. Quote
Blondi Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko 32s32 seconds ago Bolton. Spoken to three interested parties in last few days. All said same. Keen if goes into admin. But won't do deal on Davies terms ... Quote
mickbrown Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 What's the latest we can go into admin without losing points for next season? Quote
bwfc2003 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 What's the latest we can go into admin without losing points for next season? If something doesnt happen before mondays high court hearing we are fucked Quote
Blondi Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 If something doesnt happen before mondays high court hearing we are fucked Probably, because our biggest problem is players wages and they aren't affected if we go down the admin route, so we'd be pretty screwed. Quote
BOWTUN BAKED Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Have we gone into administration yet? Twitter said Monday! We can't go into Administration whilst under a winding up petition, we had to do that within 7 days of the petition, that is long past. We pay up by Monday, or get the new owners in to pay up, or we're fooked. Simple as that. Quote
birch-chorley Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 If we go into admin won't ED still be in charge of what happens as he is owed £180m thus making him the biggest creditor? He would get to appoint his own administrator (TB) Think the only benefit to admin would be the writing off of some of the current losses so it's easier for other consortiums to take over with less cash required up front to keep the club going Quote
