Putting aside what anyone might think of him as a bloke, what has he done football wise for years that would make him an attractive signing for a Championship club? To be honest, I have heard so little about him for so long that I assumed he'd given the game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he has a half decent scoring record at Fleetwood but he's 32 now. Probably gets contracts based on one really good scoring spell in his career - like Jordan Rhodes, but more rapey. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been looking at his Wiki page. He's done better at Fleetwood than I thought but I am not really much of a follower of that club or League One, so that kind of explains it. I have not heard his name mentioned anywhere for ages until the recent sacking thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 9 hours ago, trev said: Hope they put some major relegation wage reduction clauses in those contracts. They were probably too busy trying to remove European football increase clauses though as that was nailed on..... If they haven't, then they are totally screwed financially if they go down. They've already borrowed the TV money for the next few years so i can see a Sunderland or Pompey style meltdown heading their way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a wage bill now at 50 million plus, 120 million gone on players, no gate receipts in the foreseeable future, they've paid McCabe goodness knows how much and the TV income for relegated clubs reduces each year after relegation so they won't even have enough to cover the wage bill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really the case though? As in, do the accounts show it? Just found this (Premier League Prize Money 19/20) which shows last season alone they received £130m Given they'll have done 2 seasons in the PL, and 20th received about £90m last season and then relegated teams get another £100m in parachute payments - so what's that...£330m? That leaves them pretty healthy despite them spending £120m~ on players and the McCabe money (which surely cannot amount to that much?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
