Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Bree at £23k a week can't possibly be genuine, can it??? He would have been on peanuts at Barnsley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we bought him i remember he was a hot prospect at the time and man city were linked. Maybe that's why were paying him a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted June 6, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2018 Jedinak on 50 grand a week? I really hope that isn’t true because God knows what Whelan is on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lansbury 40k has been touted for a while. crazy Tishbola is probably on 80k a week with these ridiculous contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been on peanuts at Barnsley. I heard that Hourihane went from 8 grand (probably the highest earner since he was the best player and captain) to 30 grand a week at Villa. Jesus wept we are ruined. Edited June 6, 2018 by The Fun Factory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are incredibly incompotant, whilst you only have to look at Wyness time at Everton and now the situation with ourselves to realise his **** will deffinetly not smell like roses. I didn’t read this as sympathising with Wyness, just cautioning against taking what Collymore is saying at face value. It seems pretty clear Collymore is being used as a stooge to spread the TX view of the episode and as such his words should be treated as propaganda. That doesn’t mean everything he says is wrong, just that it’s one-sided and selective (rather like the version Wyness is feeding to his chums in the press). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the complete innards of the club's wage structure laid bare, can only be Wyness who clearly likes to do his talking via press proxies. Unlike Xia who is putting out clear, detailed and informative statements direct to the fans every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifamad Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I just don’t understand why we offered players like Hourihane, Bree etc such ludicrous wages when 15k p/w would of been enough, absolutely insane wages they are on ... and Jedinak 50k p/w.... WTF is going on behind the scenes? It’s like someone purposely trying to destroy us from within! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Those figures are nuts. Absolute madness if correct. What is really eating at me though, is this supposedly long term goal, the 'Villa Engine'. What was it meant to be? Who was overseeing its implementation and when did it start, if at all? There just seems to be no end to things that are tearing the club limb from limb. From the little I can gather, a bitter and toxic dispute between owner and CEO is ensuing over god knows what, and we're left without a plan, again. I don't like what I'm reading about Wyness at all but will take it with a pinch of salt until things are more concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, not speculating and specified I didn’t know anything. So my post can’t possibly stir up anything negative or unhelpful. Could you let limpid know that nobody is allowed to ask any questions on VT anymore then? Oops, that was also a question. This is hard. People should know this. In fact this entire forum should probably be shut down if we're not allowed to talk about things that we aren't 100% sure have happened.

Oh I can well believe it - there is no way Bree would be on £1200 a week . ‘We gambled on getting up and put no clauses in that should we not go up the wages could be cut , we are truly **** with people here picking up millions in wages and not kicking a ball . ‘Incompetence throughout the club from owner , ceo and manager . Hopefully when they all go they will take steve round with them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well it was reported during the season that we had the highest wage bill in the league, a rumoured £52m a year or £1m a week, so people shouldn't be surprised that are players are all on high wages.

lapal_fan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Until we know some facts or hear some more information, can we stop being outraged over what someone may or may not earn? It's a waste of your energy. Or if you do want to guess what someone earns, can you at least not make it overly dramatic if you don't agree with it? It's so boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair those reported figures are most likely accurate given that when those players were signed, Jedinak/Lansbury the same figures were reported about their wages. I agree it's nothing to be outraged about though, we knew we were paying big wages all along. The reason to be outraged is the short term thinking at the club. You wouldn't run a corner shop like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Lansbury on £40k I can believe. He was at the end of his contract, he bought him for peanuts and it was rumoured at the time that we offered him Premier League wages. Jedinak on £50k I can believe. We paid him to drop down a league and, again, it was widely reported that we'd offered him a Premier League wage. Bree on £23k, I just don't believe. When we are reportedly paying Chester and Hourihane, two of our best players at 'prime footballer age' £30k p/w, I just can't believe that we offered a young fullback just £7k less than them. I also don't believe that he's on £1.2k. We're not that savvy. I think it's likely that he's on something in-between. Probably £10k-£15k p/w. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time Bree was reportedly being scouted by Everton amongst others and it was seen as a coup to get him - I can well believe we offered him £23k in light of some of the other crazy wages we pay .
