Casino Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Hmmm I know football clubs aren't your normal type of business, but Sweaty is as norma as businessman as you'll see. Maybe he bucks a trend in the game and makes plans, strategies and that type of thing to secure the future of the organisation. Weird, I know. I repeat, Clough was not going until this evening Ken may have known, but zach didnt Quote
HomerJay Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I bet Southampton are proper giddy. Their new striker has 16 for finishing and 17 for long shots. Wicked. Quote

Zico Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) So Matt and Alan both spent their entire careers at their first clubs?Is that what you meant by "play for the club"? Matt did Well he went to Eastleigh right at the end but it wasn't for a pay day Alan wanted to play for his hometown club and turned down Utd and titles in order to do it, he was Def in it for the passion for Newcastle and not cash or glory he could've easily got elsewhere Depends what you think "play for the club" means Gerrard, Giggs, Scholes, Maldini, Del Piero etc Edited January 31, 2017 by ZicoKelly Quote

If you can give me an example of a player refusing a salary increase to stay where they are, then fair play. Come on we all know that if a footballer is offered more money, he'll go.

HomerJay Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 But most people would fuck off for the cash wouldn't they. I would love to play for Bolton for 10k a week. And I'd be very proud doing it. But if manure offered 50k I'd be off. If China offered 100k I'd be off. Anyone who says different is telling porkies. Quote
HomerJay Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Clough refused a pay increase last year didn't he?? Quote
Spider Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I repeat, Clough was not going until this evening Ken may have known, but zach didnt fair enough i can't say I'm overly arsed, as good as he was I think our need for cash far outstrips our need for 1 good game in 3. We're in no position to turn down that sort of money with the Revenue still hovering. Quote
Casino Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Clough refused a pay increase last year didn't he?? Dunno but he had contract to 2019 Quote

Until this actually happens, you can't prove me wrong. Quote

As we all would... Gerrard to Chelsea Could've earned an extra £15m according to this article https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.standard.co.uk/sport/why-gerrard-did-not-sign-for-chelsea-7187920.html%3Famp?client=ms-android-samsung Turned down Bayern and Madrid as well Le tissier could've gone to spurs but stayed when southampton matched, not bettered, their offer http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/2235977/le-tiss-turned-down-spurs-move Am sure del piero and buffon could've fucked off when they got relegated to serie b Yeah, most footballers will follow the money but there's a fair few who won't and no doubt be rewarded for their loyalty in the process Quote
famouswanderer Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 I'd play for Bolton for free. I wouldn't play for manure for a billion a week. Until this actually happens, you can't prove me wrong. Id play for one week and score a couple of own goals Quote
Marc505 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Think Robben recently turned China down as well to stay on his pittance at Bayern didn't he? Quote
embankment Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 On a lighter note, who is the blonde hint on Sky Sports news this evening.? Good pair of pins on her. Quote
gonzo Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Just spoke to a bloke in the gym that goes to all Fleetwood home matches about Long. Said he's rapid and loves running in behind etc. Didn't suit their system of one target man up top as he often drifted and got stuck out wide or they let him has a bash but he's not strong enough to lead.

Casino Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Looking beyond bwfc, theres some serious money being spent in the second tier Including Sheff weds 10 million for Rhodes How does this fit in with FFP Quote
