AntrimBlack Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 His arrogance/confidence is a joy to behold. He treated the Rotherham players like kids in the school yard. That is how our players and manager should be treating every game in this league - with an `I am better than you' attitude. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of wingers would shy away from a desperate challenge from a defender especially when offered the chance of a diving header. He went for it 100%, even smashing the defender in the process. Bravo sir! Just saw the highlights and noticed that as well. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 70/80k a week in the championship is bloody crazy, this club have over paid on players and wages for too long and now another, good bit of business from Everton making us pay the whole wage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If we are, is he Bruce’s choice - in which case Bruce shoukd be ashamed and the owners are recklessly naive, or is he their/anonymous recruiters choice in which case that person needs to be got rid of, and again, the owners are reckless or naive or both. Noooooooo. Just no. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 If it’s more than £40k something is awfully wrong with our new owners already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Just now, TrentVilla said: Until today I was under the impression it was 50% which was bad enough, I've now very good reason to believe its the full £80k. I've some quite big concerns re the owners and have had since they arrived but given how people reacted when I raised concerns re Xia I've kept quiet. Well apart from being a crazy, crazy arrangement in itself, ( and for a position we were arguably covered for) that immediately throws into doubt everything about them. The sudden spending spree we saw has looked curious at best, but the assumption has been/ had to be they knew what they were doing. I find it impossible to hold that view if this is true. Very very disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you were given some kudos in your absence in that particular thread when the penny dropped/facts became clear. I also think most people have learnt their lesson there. The Xia thread is even more toxic than the Bruce thread these days As for Bolasie though, as a player, he looks like one of our best players already and he's only had, what, 2 cameos so far. If we can't afford it it's bonkers but it's pretty clear we've gone double or quits money-wise. If there's no fire-sale in January I can't see how we're going to avoid the whole FFP thing and unless the league have told NSWE it will be fines (and they're happy with that) and not points deductions it all seems amazingly cavalier to me.

Wezbid Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What if it was disguised, like, in reality, we're paying the 80k but it's all lumped into a loan fee and we're contractually only paying 20% or whatever? It could also all be rubbish. Would Purslow allow such a deal after gorging on the accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable 1. 70k a week 2. 1 goal no assists in 16 games back from horrible injury at 28 3. Had half a good season for Palace 3 seasons ago. 4. 70k a week!!!
