VillaForever1970 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I’m still waiting for the amazing signing ITK’s were hinting at.Obviously going to come soon, they would never lie for attention never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I take it players in League Two earn more than Premier League players though, right? Because of the lower quality of the league and everything. What does this have to do with Grant Holt? He signed a big money contract, at 32 do you really think he's going to sign a contract for less money 12 months later in order to drop down to the championship? Common sense would tell you this is highly highly unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Can we just get this sorted, we are not 50/60k a week better off now Ireland has gone, he has had the last 5 months of his deal paid up, the only saving is the extra months wages he was going to be given as a loyalty payment if his contract run out. Do we know we paid anything up to him? Surely, at the very most, we'd only have had to pay the difference between what he was on here and what Stoke are paying him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarrieBlue Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I heard Holt is on 50k a week and we’re paying it all. Dam that Lerner. I heard Holt is on 50k a week and we’re paying it all.

BOF Posted January 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2014 You could use common sense but that might mean you can't praise everything the club does all the time.The opposite is true too. And no that's not directed at you. It's just something that should be borne in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense would tell you this is highly highly unlikely He signed a big money contract did he? Big money in world football, probably not. Big money for a team like Norwich and certainly championship level, I'd say yes. This is what he said when he signed "I'm really pleased we've agreed things and I've got the deal which gives me and my family a bit of security," I doubt he gave up that security to drop down a level on probably his last professional contract. "We are looking at two other positions." -PL But I thought this would stop all other business. How could all the blowhards be wrong? How many people have actually said that it would?

This all sounds opinion based. But you've stated that; "Holt did not drop down a division to take a decrease in pay." and also; "He signed a big money contract" Can you make your mind up please? Or are you, yet again, just having a dig at Lambert/Lerner/Villa for the sake of having a dig at Lambert/Lerner/Villa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
