He’d be on £1.3k a week Or £650 when we go down Which is why he will be playing elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows he technically can’t do it, but he’s saying it anyway. And he’s willing to let players walk away for nothing because they’ve failed his target of play-offs as a minimum. So the obvious follow-ups... Has this actually happened, considering you're being very persistent and specific on this 'hypothetical' How do you know?

SiJ Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 You have to laugh. We get one of the family members from TUF; an absolute beast of a company... The problem is we ended up with the Gob Bluth of TUF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Chansiri sort of bloke to fire all the staff at the Xmas party because someone laughed at him. Probably has had a pool table put in the board room but it is too big to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is that real foresight and wisdom, or just plain necessity due to vastly reduced circumstances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoster Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This zoom call thing is complete and utter testicles. 100pc completely untrue. They haven't even had a zoom call with the chairman at all. Completely fabricated. What is the motivation for lies like this when we are already bad enough with enough real problems to worry about?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a sign in a small way of a lesson being learned. Just like bringing Darren Moore is. Too little, too late. Also, having red lines like these will massively reduce the pool of players who want to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true and Uroghide was offered 1.3k/650 a week, then that's absolutely outrageous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I d wanna know why Baz just got a juicy new deal for 3 years on £30,000 per week, and no relegation clause. Then i d check my contract to see if Chansiri has power to do this. Then i d play like Atty to earn myself a nice new contract , even at another club. Edited May 3, 2021 by Hornsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic888 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 11 hours ago, Big Malc said: Bearing in mind that some of these players are on wages such as £550 per week - around £28k per year - and your boss is saying that shortly he is going to halve your wages and you can either like it or arrange alternative employment. While you’re in the middle of a relegation battle that is significantly due to the actions of your boss. You’re going to be all out committed to that relegation battle? I fought in war zones for a lot less money than that a year they wanna think themselves lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
