Either cut your wage to play for another team or get paid in full but only watch (i.e. you're not going to play here). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take from it, that either Joe or Sheffield Wednesday wanted us to pay part of his wages. So he's saying that Joe needs to take a pay cut or get fully paid by the club that want him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ah, I didn't see what the tweet was in relation to. Should have probably checked that first >_> Makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyjavfc Posted August 25, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Interesting. He seems to have changed his tune from his Lescott tweet the other week: Wonder if he got to breaking point with paying others wages due to the breakdown of that deal!

Lescott wasn't going to a team challenging us for promotion. I think that's a key part. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennet's wage's are nowhere near the levels of Lescott's I'd imagine. Subsidising Lescott effing off should be a different case to Bennet IMO. Richards is ther with Lescott and Gabby too, anything for them to go now is acceptabe, including cancelling of contracts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lescott is seen as a bad influence I think. Little market value, little use on the pitch and is one of 3-4 we are desperate to get rid of. I think it is different with Joe - younger, could develop, and (importantly) was been sold to a direct rival in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The issue is also us giving Wednesday a financial leg up to sign one of our players, who could then be used against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Villarocker Posted August 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2016 I am really enjoying the way Dr Tony goes about his business. Imagine one of us lot being in his position of owning our football club and doing the business he's doing for his cub and us fans. You would go to meetings and have talks with people thinking "I want to get the best deal possible and get the player in/out but, at the same time, I won't be f**ked over my someone from another club, especially those who are our main rivals - we are Aston F**king Villa!". Imagine dealing with our players that have bad attitudes - "this tw*t let our fans down badly and he wants me to contribute towards his huge wage whilst he plays elsewhere. He can go f**k himself". Every time I read one of his tweets on here I think to myself that this guy is really going about his business in the same way that I would if I owned the Villa. Perfect example; going for breakfast and waiting for a call to confirm that a player I have signed is about to be put on the club's website. Thought? "I know, I'll have my mate here take a picture of me and then put it on twitter together with a message letting the fans know that another signing is about to be announced, so that my Villa-supporting followers can have an exciting start to their day" - that's something I would do if I was owner! Well done Dr Tony for bringing enjoyment to us all this summer 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I love Tony more and more each day!! I love how brutal and straight-forward he is. Why should we pay Sheff Weds, a rival money to tale our player? We could easily sell him and save 10-20k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example here of us basically paying a player off (in all but name), as we hoped . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
