set to

not sure that stands up in a court

i was set to go out tonight but now im staying in spraying my bedsheet

things change

I think you're trying to look for reasonable excuses where there are none

if it was with an option then I'm sure it would have said "with an option", like the Brentford deal did

"set to" was enough for Doidge to buy a house and for the club to suggest to the media at the weekend it would be sorted

as for standing up in court, well, again, I think that's what the FGR guy's statement is all about, and KA's reaction

so I think you were right when you said "ours may have had a specific obligation to do so"

What reasonable excuse is there for us not paying his wages for the past 4 months?

You have to question how we have managed to get away with other clubs paying the loaned players wages for so long!!

 

Apparently this is what we did with Ameobi when he initially came on loan too. Let Newcastle pay his wages, tell them we'll pay them back our agreed share eventually. Not sure if we ever did.

Anyway, on a grim day, here's something of a positive. Football is a cut-throat 'I'm alright Jack' business, and while FGR and Norwich might not be keen to deal with us again in the near future, I doubt it will affect our chances of signing players generally (should we ever get out of embargo). It's been proven time and again that if you're not the club/player being ripped off, you're not that arsed.

Think that is how loan deals work. The parent club is still the employer so pay the wages. The other club pays whatever is agreed as the loan fee to the club.

I always thought it was a percentage of the monthly wage (0-100%) then if the player was good enough you could ask for a loan fee also...  

So for certain clubs they accepted loan deals just to get the players of the books...  But as these cases show, your explanation is correct

Yeah if you think about the players contract is with their employer (parent club) so their salary payment comes from them. I am self employed but have worked for last 2 years on 'loan' to another company who pay my day rate back to my company and then I take money/dividends from there. 

 

The fact we 'owe' money to Norwich for players we have on loan is probably true, if that is an issue or not depends on the terms of the agreement and what the terms are. (That is not a defence of KA btw as it seems if you drop any facts into the debate you must be on one side or the other)

I'm not sure on this, but if for example Matthews is on 1k a month and we have agreed to pay 50% of that for the duration of a three month loan, Norwich will keep paying him as normal and we'll then pay £1.5k back to them at an agreed point. 

That's probably why it isn't unusual that Doidge was still collecting his wages from FGR, not us.

This love in with FGR on Twitter is making my skin crawl.

Going supporting another team because he's pointed out something we all knew?

It's pathetic.

We knew we weren't paying for our loanees?

I think he's done us a service, revealing in full the way our club is run.

Won't catch me going to watch FGR like, but still.

I was also of the impression that the parent club pays the wages and has a separate agreement with the club who loan the player 

As football creditors won’t FGR, Norwich etc get paid out of our next batch of SKY money directly or does Ken still get his mits on it first? 

Its all heading one way I’m afraid, admin unless a new buyer comes in quick

I thought the same, but I suspect the truth is that the embargo highlighted the issue rather than caused it.

Ken had to pay FGR for a player he couldn't register, so didn't pay?

Seems that way.

That being said, if he still owes money to other clubs, you do wonder, how he'd pay anything due to fgr.

have we had the payment of a few milliions from the efl

if not, it seems quite easy for them to ensure football debts are paid

it actually seems quite easy for Ken to pay the debts on receipt of the payment, but maybe better if the EFL do it

 

having watched the video an odd thing is that vince says anderson said hed pay but then the day after, no payment

why not tell vince to get fcuked on the 3rd rather than the 4th?
