Hookowl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 2 minutes ago, Minton said: The basic payment is over £80m for the 19/20 season (I was mistaken about the £100m), with a further £1.2m per televised game. Only 3 teams earned under £100m last season for TV money. Agreed but you would presume most of their players have some form of agreement regarding promotion bonuses and wage increases if promoted, so £80M is not going to encourage them to splash the cash as it were.

A good tattooist generally has a long waiting list of around 9-12 months, 6 months at best. It’s a rumour thread & there’s not much else going on.

Sheffield has some excellent tattooists, probably too many therefore waiting time averages out at a 2-3 weeks according to my mate and fellow owl Soski who has a brand new shop, also most shops allow queue jumpers who are willing to pay a premium! agree with the rest of your comments though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I can't believe how tedious this has become. Roll on the start of the season because at least then there will be something to talk about other than Palmers great/useless, Rhodes is past it/a top player. We are/aren't selling the ground. I might have to go and talk to the wife for a bit....that's how bored I am. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburghowl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Liam Kelly has left Livingston and is interesting English Championship clubs. Would be a decent backup keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me a link to your mates website please. I can’t find anyone that I like in Sheffield. I ended up going to Brighton for my last one & had to wait 6 months before the first sitting then another 3 months for the next one to finish it.

striker Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 2 hours ago, Minton said: They've just been given £170m... I think they can afford to splash £15-20m on a striker True, but seems to be the way with promoted clubs. Take the money and build a top end championship team to come back up. We also have to assume that promotion bonuses may increase the payroll for existing playing squad substantially, probably 50% at least. The gulf is huge and getting bigger, Fulham spent £100m last season and were useless. Nothing wrong with clubs being prudent, particularly when they perhaps didn't expect promotion and overachieved.

Cardiff and Hudders spent the best part of £50M each too last season. Can see Norwich easily matching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Presumably they will have to compete with Villa for Maupay . That won’t be just a cash issue if Dean Smith wants him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblueowl Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Quist said: I assume the £170 million is income from PL If you are not aware almost went into admin last summer and had to sell players to avoid this. The owners are not in a position to invest large sums of cash into club and when relegated had difficulty funding the club so my understanding is club will not go heavily into debt pending PL money due at end of season but were to keep integrity of squad and make only a few shrewd purchases but these would be at lower end of market. I put this on a thread earlier in month and their CEO said the other day that budget for transfers was not large. Thought this is why went for Rhodes as I thought would be keen to offload and not cost a fortune. I still expect this to come about but probably not until late July. I think Brentford want to cash in on Maupay, being touted around.Other clubs getting wary as players they sell often flop. I read that they only have a 20 million pot to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
