    The guy is a fucking idiot and got what he deserved. In a world where social media plays such a part you can be dismissed from work for gross misconduct ‘liking’ idiotic posts is only going to antagon

  • Hi all; been a long time voyeur on the site and a few things I've seen have made me pants twitch.  But as a Wanderer for over 50 years;  reading a lot of the stuff on this thread and in the general pr

  • I saw the truth from the beginning ffs  KA’s job was to balance the books and spin plates till investment came. He’s done that with success so far. It just can’t carry on, we don’t have a Gary Ma

That’s is not a problem and most understand the reasons

 

But if it’s true what Henry put you don’t put a date and don’t honour it that’s just cuntish

Is it, really?

Depends where you set your targets.

If we told all the players you have to get promoted to get a bonus it may not have gone down too well.

 

Anyway, Ken's got a struggle on his hands if he wants to change the way footballers' contracts are structured.

Aye, birch is a bit of a hypocrite

 

Companies as big as his screw the small fish all the time

 

 

A previous, we were paying on pro forma and the companies we supplied were paying us on 180 days or later if they fancied it

 

Pay Henry or improve the team then pay Henry next month

 

It's not really a difficult call

I’m quite sure the firm I work for pay when as agreed, this is quite different so no hypocrisy

 

I understand Ken choosing who to pay and when if cash flow is tight, but that’s not Henry's fault, he has a fair gripe

 

Ken and his lad love using social media to air their grievances, look at the whole Heathcoat piece

 

They can’t then expect nobody else to do the same

 

Personally I’m not that bothered, I just don’t understand the rounding on Henry

Edited by birch-chorley

This is a fairly daft statement.

 

How so?

 

What other job do you get a bonus for being slightly less shit than your peers?

 

Wherever I've worked, bonuses are paid for exceptional performance. Something above the ordinary.

 

Hence the name

Aye. Moreover Henry performed tremendously. Changed the season round once he came.

There was just no need to whack it on twitter.

 

Contact the PFA, EFL or your solicitor if you’re that arsed.

 

To me it’s just attention seeking. Probably pissed off he wasn’t kept on.

 

I get his gripe, but address is professionally rather than bleating on twitter like a massive mard arse.

 

We don’t know why the payments have been delayed but we’ve just signed a load of players and blu marble is around the corner. Who knows. But KA won’t be sat in his vault smothered in gold coins like summet off ducktails.

 

It’s just business. And it’s not Ken’s money.

I know that.

 

I find the fact that such agreements are commonplace bizarre

What’s good for the goose and all that

 

Ken and his lad love to go public with most things, genuine gripe like the Heatcoat thing or anything else, hardly set a ‘professional’ tone themselves have they with the way they go about PR

 

Maybe they should all give it a rest or alternatively let them all crack on and we can watch on like some sort of soap opera

When the current players took a stand in Pre season re: the Amos situation they were rounded on for being out of order, unprofessional, unnecessary etc etc

 

When 2 ex players are up in arms they are well within their rights?

 

Ex’s are ex’s for a reason. Fuck em

So the guy ran his nuts off helped out and was promised money

 

But he’s an ex so fuck him

Pay your commitments to an ex or... pay for someone who will make you happy right here now and pay your ex next week.

If it was a decision between paying him and getting a striker on board then yeh

 

That may or may not of been the case but there’s certainly a list of needs doing & can wait

 

Henry is definitely in the latter bracket and I’ll bet a pound to a pile of shit if he was still employed by us and his promised payment was late he wouldn’t of been calling LA out on it via Twitter

I swear to God some people would prefer this Club to fold so they can see Ken fail.

The players didn’t take a stand for Amos. They took a stand for all the players who hadn’t been paid their bonuses.

The same bonuses that hadn’t been paid as of the time of Henry’s tweet.

Is it, really?

Absolutley. Man on the street likes bonuses and works harder to achieve them. So do footballers

But he said it was due on the 6th and he twitted on the 6th, not the 7th

How so?

Ive no idea what you do mate. But I paid bonuses for hitting targets. The players also will have done.

 

They will work harder to receive the bonus. Who wouldn't?

 

I feel your statement is cultivated as these chaps are footballers and earn loads blah blah.

 

I've never met anyone who doesn't want to earn or make more money!

Not really. We pay players less money in terms of their basic wage, but they make it up in very achievable add-ons. No different to transfer fees and what we've done with Doidge.

 

 

Henry was a free agen brought in at the end of last September when we were rock bottom without a win. It's not hard to believe his contract was heavily incentivised.

You don't know when the first payment falls due to forest green

 

Could be weeks, even months off

 

And even if we paid something last week, that's only cos of the stupid Windows

 

Ken will hang on to our cash as long as he can and focus on the present and future for the good of bwfc

 

Which I fully support

Here here.

 

Who's Karl Henry ?

 

Doidge Doidge Doidge £££££££ Mwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa

I’m not anti Ken, not by a long chalk

 

I uunderstand why he has done what he has

 

I just empathise with Henry, I can understand why he did what he did and I think the criticism of him is unfair given the circumstances

 

If someone owed me money, messed me about then went and paid for something big it would piss me off

You want to try knocking on someone’s door and asking for £8 on a Friday tea whilst they’re all tucking in to a chippy dinner and they say they’ve got no money :D

Pay the man what's owed.

it bothers me that when i scroll through twitter and want to see Tits and Vines of Messi alls i see is M0ng statements about the shit we already know. 

 

Don't do it then. Come off twitter - it's refreshing.

Haven’t Ken and Lee only ever responded in kind to public money matters mud slinging?
