Well I have to ask, whoever has published those figures, seems to believe the source, so I wouldn't put it past any malignant trouble maker to up the figures for maximum effect.

sne Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 So has the club gone "Silenzio Stampa" now? Hardly a peep from Xia, Wyness, Bruce or the players. Surely they can't all be locked up in Julie B's WiFi -less hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Well everybody and their mom could see this transfer strategy wasn't sustainable. Signing elderly(ish) players on high salaries with little or no sell on value from the PL and Championship instead of scouting abroad will leave you in a financial hole. Nothing hindsight about it. It was and is a terrible idea. Having a massive squad and paying PL wages while earning a lot less than we did in the PL is never going to work. Had we got promoted we could have plugged the holes, but we'd still been skint. Edited June 7, 2018 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 FYI the James Bree is on £1,200 / week data comes from Football Manager 2017 courtesy of some staggering investigative journalism by the Daily Star. I'm not even going to quote or link it here, they don't deserve the hits. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 didn’t mean to say you couldn’t ask, I just thought it was funny that you claimed it wasn’t negative. That’s what my silliness about the queen was supposed to poke fun at. In your defense, your not the only one being negative with conjecture right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 we bought bree from barnsley when he was 18 and lets be generous and say he was on £2k a week (i doubt he was even on that) so we then increased his wages by 10 times some sort of deal where he could earn £20k a week based on appearances and us being in the PL maybe but for where he is in his career right now, not having it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 As I posted elsewhere. Average wage of a championship player is about 10k. We are paying double to 5 times that on every player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even going to quote or link it here, they don't deserve the hits. Outdated idiots. Never trust the tabloids - FM18 says he is on £3.5k per week. Source: For the record it does have Lansbury at £40k, McCormack £38.5k and Jedinak at £45k so there may be some truth. The Bree one is just a farce though. Sadly it seems little facts are actually out and there is an absolute ton of speculation and rumour... It’s clear something is up but whether it’s Wyness or Xia or both it’s hard to say without something more substantial coming out... However it is, not a great start for the summer to say we can continue to challenge at the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never played FM mate. 6.25m just gets you in the discussion, you will have to part with 8 figures if you want James. Don't worry though, the AI will pay you back when they offer you 3m for your 5 star wonderkid "labelled the new Shearer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 8, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2018 Agent fees? Goodness knows what the club payed them to get the players in the first place? Don’t know about everyone else but it was bad enough failing to get promoted and now having to deal with this. Very sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Transfer policy has been cancerous for far too long. Why cant we employ professionals for important roles within the club. So many bad decisions. Yes, hindsight is a brilliant thing but youd think wed get lucky and stumble upon some good appointments somewhere in the past 10 years where competence is actually practiced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
