HIGHERSTATE Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I worry about what Rotherham are doing as much as I would say Mansfield or Swindon. I have to admit the ground looks amazing from the outside. But looks like a local leisure centre on the inside. I was expecting them to put up tennis nets after the match. Can you still use a passport to leisure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanLee Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 2 hours ago, hirstyboywonder said: He is a Rotherham player this season and you are paying him. On what basis does your imagination allow you to believe you are paying him half his wages at most? Even if it is half he would still come in at number 1 on your list based on what you say he is earning. I'll give you a breakdown of the mathematics on that if you need any assistance. There is absolutely no way we will be paying 11k a week for an unproven, unplayed kid who'd not played a minute of senior football in his life. Especially when our most expensive wage is less than 6k a week. If we had that money we would sign better players ourselves. So on what basis does your imagination allow you to believe that a club as wealthy as Leicester would not pay half his wage simply to get some senior games under his belt?

AlanLee Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Therealrealist said: So without tony u wud be round our place again with the buckets?? No, without Tony there wouldn't be a league club in Rotherham. I'd be watching a Rotherham phoenix club play in the 10th tier somewhere. As I've said numerous times, the bucket collection helped keep us going on a week by week basis and we've always been grateful for that from fans across the country. Weird how a few hundred pounds from 1 bucket collection 16 years ago is brought up on here for an eternity. Didn't know you held onto your wallets for that long in Sheff. We owed £2.5m at the time and would have simply gone to the wall as Bury have done if it weren't for Uncle Tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really strange thing to say isn't it? I'm pretty sure Mansfield or Swindon haven't beaten you 3 nil already this season, aren't above you in the league, aren't fighting with you to stay up and don't have a 15 mile border with Sheffield!

Mate, seriously, having been inside Hillsborough probably a hundred times, and driven past hundreds more, you are in no position to slag off Rotherham's ground!

Emerson Thome Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 2 hours ago, AlanLee said: So how much is Jordan Rhodes pulling? Jordan Rhodes's contract expired last year. He signed an extension but now he's paying us to play. He gives us £200 per game but it works out as slightly less as we pay his petrol money and give him an orange at half time.

Please someone, ring me a taxi. No, not City Cars, I much prefer to ride with DTaxis. Yes I know I've spent £47 to get a seat in the newly sold Hillsborough but I really need to get back to Rotherham and change this shirt.) Anyway, enough of the banter.

Regardless of how much any of thir fans hate us I don't like to see clubs in trouble. I don't like to think how bad their fans would feel when the worst happens. I do remember when we were in trouble there was nothing other than vitriol and hate from the local sides towards us but I would still chuck a few quid in to help them. I guess i'm just a bigger man than some. As for tonight, before we announced DM I was thinking we'd be lucky to avoid a repeat of earlier in the season. Now there's a wild card though, the new manager bounce that teams sometimes get. Our team of workshy bottlers could well decide that tonight is the night they're going to put in 90 minutes and earn their astronomical wages for once. What will be will be I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwintonLad99 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 3 hours ago, AlanLee said: Had a link sent to me today with an accurate figure for Rotherham players wage levels. Top 7 earners: 7. Mattock £3.1k 6. Ladapo £3.3k 5. Harding £3.4k 4. Robertson £3.4k 3. Wiles £3.5k 2. A McDonald £4.5k 1. Barlaser £5.4k Incidentally, George Hirst on loan from Leicester (zero goals in 22 apps) who can't get a start is stealing a living. He's on £11k per week Must say they're on more than I thought. Our top 7 earners are paid £27k per week between them. Is it correct that Jordan Rhodes is on more than these put together? Wiles is on 6k! I should know used to go school with him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were willing to pay most of his wages I'd have expected them to do a bit more work into finding a good fit for him. How many games has he started? What is he learning? How is he developing? He might as well still be with them and learning from their own coaches if they are paying most of his salary as he isn't getting much out of you lot.
