0742 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Decent players, with decent agents won't sit tight for an extra months salary in exchange for being sat at home. They'll be on the training ground, with their new team mates and coaches developing and becoming part of their new club and enjoying the peace of mind that the next 2-3 years contract they've just signed gives them. Imagine a new club approaches you and you tell them to call back on August 1st as you're waiting on your last months pay from your previous club. It just doesn't make sense. Unless they're actually dropping down significant levels or picking up pittance wages, which in turn shows how why we were right to let them walk.

Are you suggesting a player would sit tight for a months payment, rather than sign a new 2-3 year contract? I'm not saying these players won't find clubs, but to suggest they're sitting tight just to get paid an extra months salary from the club is nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players could be sitting tight knowing theyve agreed a 2 or 3 year contract to start on the 1st of August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 So let’s use Reach as an example. He was reported to be on £20k a week here ( use it as an example let’s not argue if it’s more or less). Obviously if he gets offered more he will sign and join his new team mates for pre season. If he gets offered the same as above. If he gets offered 2/3/4/5 k less, at what point does he say, ok I will join my new team mates for preseason. And what do his new team mates think when they say he’s not joining his new team mates until August 1st because he wants to pocket another 2/3/4 k? All hypothetical of course. Or have our wages been that ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I assume Rhodes hasn't scored in a pre-season friendly just yet, as there's been no 10-page thread where we all fall out about it thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its not just a month of pay, DC has given them all loyalty payments for seeing out their contracts the likes of Westwood, Reach, Lees could be due £000's of thousands come the end of July. Some muppet signed them up on these deals can you guess who. I give you a clue..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Think it just shows that they aren't as good as people said they are Personally hope Reach doesn't get a club His attitude stank the place out 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah won’t suit the agenda some have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
