I've heard all sorts of figures up to about the 4k mark which is a massive problem given teams would likely see his wages at about a quarter of that and that's before you factor in the transfer fee we paid for him. I know Fylde have looked at a couple of our players but these players aren't going to give up these contracts for £800 a week which is about what Fylde are willing to pay. I'm not slagging the players off by the way, you hear some saying I'd want to be playing and all that but nobody wants to take a pay cut like that. We may have to subsidise these players wages for 12 months if it means we can recover something from the situation.

nzlatic Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Does anyone actually know what he's on? Is the accounts department leaking it? Or is it all just guesswork and assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's totally up to them if they'd rather see out a higher contract not playing, rather than lower wages and regular football. It's easy for fans to say they wouldn't do that but in reality with mortgages and families etc you can't blame them for wanting to be paid contracts they've been offered. If they club have overpaid for someone then it should be a lesson learned and they just have to deal with the cost of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have to subsidise these players wages for 12 months if it means we can recover something from the situation. If we aren’t playing him and have no intention to do so then we might as well do a deal. If a club is willing to pay him £800 a week we knock the equivalent £800 a week off his settlement. Or we do a loan deal until the end of next season and continue paying his salary less £800? We would take a huge hit but still be saving £50k over the 17 months left on his contract. If we offer him a lump sum he might take a little less which would effectively save us more and surely It would be better than him sitting on his arse here for 17 months and being generally a ‘bad egg’ around the place?

Lags Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Some work out others don't. I would be gob smacked if somehow Nuttall was playing like a world beater at Scunthorpe to deserve such a deal offer but his goal record there was decent. Just so odd he gets here and is complete shite. Edited January 31 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so odd he gets here and is complete shite. 19 in 104 before he joined us, less than 1 in 5. That record alone wouldn’t warrant paying £100k and £3.5k a week unless he was pretty outstanding…..which he is not!

If it is him surely a short term solution and makes Fondop redundant as I’m sure despite Garner being 5”11 was a target man and won loads in the air in years gone by but that may have changed.

He wasn't a bad signing but when your record transfer fee doesn't play 2 seasons due to a career ending injury he gets stick. Think I heard a story about David Currie and his eventual transfer to us on the Under the cosh podcast. Fell out big time with Brian Clough.

Queensy Menig 4 games 1 goal and over £500k outlay in wages that is the worst signing in the clubs history in terms of value for money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
