Tom 14011 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Grigg was on £1.5m a year at Wigan, I cant see him having left for a paycut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Massively unfair for the bigger clubs but probably needed in these times, however it will only lead to dodgy payments to players. Edited August 7, 2020 by Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Football is so well audited these days that everything comes out of the woodwork eventually. Plus Donald’s custodianship of the club has been spiralling out of control for a while, this will be an excuse to impose some financial stability. In addition it puts Mr Rich Energy’s apparent plan in the bin where it belongs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl 175 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I still remember the stories of chairman betting their star players they could beat them at pool for a load of cash and then just letting the player win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13882 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Would love to know how their wage bill is apparently still at 10 million a year. God knows it can’t be Grigg’s goal bonus lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Wait, it's £2.5m a year? Not like a weekly budget as per FM? £2.5m a year!? They're fucked. Their only advantage at that level was the ability to pay past everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 And in fairness that didn’t work out very well Had a quick trawl on RTG to stalk @The Fish and one lad was saying “well at least we’ll be rich”. Yes, about that missing £20m in the accounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) So if that’s per year for a 25 man squad they’d need to average £100k per year, they’re absolutely fucked . At least in future Methven’s plans of breaking the attendance record by handing out tens of thousands of free tickets, and pumping in 90’s Ibiza tunes won’t hurt them as much.

A bit like the Victorian days of football where a club owner would give a player a job to supplement their pay. So if you see Will Grigg working at the funfair at South Shields next season don't be too surprised. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) It’ll be especially impressive to see how Swamp Rat CEO manages to pass Newcastle on the way up now. His negotiation skills must be absolutely amazing if he is going to be able to convince 4 PL players to come and play for under £2k a week.

Howay 12496 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Knew they’d be buzzing about that. Honestly man, a completely fucking random bloke who they had no fucking clue who he was a few weeks ago, puts in a few tweets bashing us and stands outside their shut stadium in a mackem top and they’re acting like he’s a top bloke and a fucking legend . You’d think after the rollercoaster they went through with “the Don” they’d have been a bit more cautious, but they’ve fell for exactly the same spiel. I’ve also literally never heard of his company, or any of their products, I can only assume it’s some minging Red Bull rip off charvas drink with their store brand vodka on park benches. In which case then I suppose the ‘City’ of Sunderland will be well aquatinted with him and his business. If you’re a mackem and reading this I am stating that you’re all a bunch of stinking little tramps that hang about parks at night well into your 30’s. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
