Morning you lovely lot. Seems to have been a loads of back and forward last night. Difficult to know specifics of players exacts unless you're close friends or in the business. Interestingly though, at the start of the season I did hear that we did have a 10k ceiling and would try our best to stay to that to all players that we owned. Bonus and other stuff can obviously be applied. See how it pans out. What's clear is that we will offer what's affordable in terms of the sustainability plan.
Check the OFFICIAL wage structure, its available online, I think someone posted it on here the other day, if not on here it's on RTG
See,this is where it gets silly. Nobody on here has any entitlement to know how much money KLD has.....much less when he receives it.....and I would expect the sensible people on here to take no notice of any random speculation. I think @Bob the Mackem has some contribution to make......it's obvious he has some connections......and,like him,I too have followed this club since I was a young-un....I'm 70 now....60 years for me. We are a special club! Everyone who hates us knows it! Hopefully, in my limited lifetime, we can fulfill our fantastic,brilliant and engaging promise. It's my dream.
Is that the Capology website your refering to? The one with the big disclaimer stating "All salary figures are estimates as actual salaries may vary. Unverified players are calculated using algorithms, or sourced from reporting that has not been confirmed yet. Coverage may be limited or incomplete. Players marked in gray are inactive, on loan, or had their contract terminated, yet are still being paid by the club. Contact us for corrections"
As you know mate, everyone at a football club has an agenda. I've lost all of my contacts now but was given info, usually in good faith, by people 'in the know' including an agent, a journo and an ex-player who was still on the edge of the club ... ... quite often the info, they gave me, was totally contradictory but I posted what I was told unless I thought it would directly hurt the club. Agents, managers, players will always use the media to push their cause.
I get that mate, I can't find the wage structure it was on here or rtg. It's funny how RTG post everything that's said on here strange that. I'm gonna try to get a copy fron Wy scout later today
RTG used to be good. Then it got taken over by malcontents...and the mods still can't sort it. This is a much better forum to talk objectively about our magnificent club, which means so much to us all. Look forward to your analysis later.
There are some cracking posters, and lots of good stuff, but the resident weirdos are so relentless it's hard work ploughing through all the drivel. Some of the loons have such a seething agenda against the club, and often the area, it's hard to believe they're one of us.
A Charlton fan posted, I believe genuinely yesterday if a young forward they have that we could do with looking at. Miles Leaburn was his name. Not a massive amount about him online, but wondered if anyone had heard more about him?
Even with 'contacts' it can still be a one way street... you may for instance get asked what are your thoughts about a game or player (just reading a couple of forums, would be better surely) but get no info back.
@FellTop spoke to couple of Peterborough lads this morning regarding JCH. Not exactly glowing reports, pretty much as I said yesterday described him. I'd stay well clear.
The lady journalist I used to be friends with told me junior sports reporters would spend most of their time on forums looking for rumours etc. That's fairly harmless but they'd also sign up to start rumours then report on them. I was contacted, on here, by someone who sounded totally plausible and told me a few things that I posted. After a while I realised he was a wrong un. I was also contacted by 'Pancho', the strange RTG Mod who pretended to be from the club and threatened me with legal action if I continued posting about the impending KLD takeover. Social media is great but it brings you into contact with some real knackers ... ... and I don't mean like Grindr
Sustainability is one thing but we aren't going to retain many decent players for very long if the wage ceiling is 10k, local lads possibly for a bit longer but that's it. I'd also be very surprised if the likes of Clarke and Ballard are on less than 10K.
