We can’t afford them. Per the story , some like Westwood , Rhodes and Lees aren’t being paid even 10 percent of what they are owed. They are being paid less than 2k a week. we have to sell what we can . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that has changed. We need cash and it seems the chairman is out of it. Which makes it even more baffling that we rejected an approach from Brentford for Bannan in n the summer by all accounts. Not paying the players on time but still in the market for players and not selling anyone is strange to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with selling those 3 I thought the players were getting paid late not at all That’s what the chairman said so it must be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avon barksdale Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Tried to do a bit of research to see if there was any correlation to the players not getting paid properly followed up by an horrendous performance . Turns out they’ve not been getting paid properly for 15 years . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkmus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not sure why anyone is surprised, lots of clubs are now struggling and it will only get worse. I’m starting to think we will be lucky to survive all of this. We would struggle to find new owners during ‘normal’ times, there is next to no chance over the next few years, even more so if we go down. Oh and why would Hutch join us, the answer is probably no other offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s happened on multiple occasions since and now we’re 6 points of safety. Some plummet don’t you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing every club is struggling to pay players but no one ever provides examples other than us and Derby. That’s only 2 clubs out of the 92. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep being told every club is struggling due to Covid. I’m sure they are but nobody has pointed me to the articles, club statements, stories of other clubs not being paid on time. The only other example they provide is Derby. Just find it strange. Considering everyone is struggling why have we only heard about Derby and Wednesday? If someone can prove me wrong I’ll stand corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that they are all failing to pay players at the moment, just struggling. I saw that the other week that the Cardiff owner had to wire 3m to keep the club going and they were applying for a 7m loan/grant. Times are tough, And if your owners business are struggling then it will only get worse. None of this is to say DC hasn’t been a big part of the troubles we are in, especially on the pitch. And I think he is probably running out of cash. I guess my only really point is I’m very pessimistic about our future at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 What we need is DC to deliver a motivational speech via zoom-get the players fired up for this afternoon. Who needs wages! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootHoot Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Whilst this is obviously bad, we're not the only club suffering with this. Unfair to use this as criticism when Cardiff and Derby are in the same predicament. You'd think the players would be grateful considering they were paid in full when the season was off, rather than deferring their wages. This is no excuse for not putting in a performance the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
