We'll be paying a loan fee which covers his.wages for the time he is with us. No room there for our players to "complain" about what they earn relatively as the new man isn't ours.

That position comes into play when we are promoted.

Let me clarify myself, it'll be his payroll costs we'd be covering

Wilson Isidor man. Can’t wait to see him feed off Le Fee’s through balls. I would like another striker just so we are fine if he gets injured or needs a rest though

If this lad signs I think it says a lot about where we are. Firstly,it demonstrates real ambition,which reinforces the information we've been getting under KLD and KS. Secondly,it indicates a confidence in RLB,the like of which we've not really seen towards previous head coaches. I know TM was backed with Dack,but it was hardly on the same scale as this move.

Everything was in its infancy then. The team has matured and we now have a squad of very valuable assets. The board can take the odd gamble safe in the knowledge that they can cash in an asset to cover any unforeseen expenses.

If we are paying his full wage now, for the next x games, that is a benchmark the club have set as what they are willing to pay for a player right now. We are no doubt mid negotiations with other first teamers on a new deal. Dan Neil, team captain, being one. Why would Dan, for example, be out of order expecting the club to offer him the same? Would the club offer him the same? Then you have agents, seeing this as opportunity to do what they do best.

If we get promoted, and he has a pre-agreed salary, then you can expect a raft of other players demanding the same or more.

It feels like a big rod for our own back to be honest. I really hope he is worth it.

This sort of thing has caused problems for football clubs for a long time now. Man Utd are the best example of this. They have brought in players from other clubs and given them huge contracts, like Mount. Now Mainoo is up for a new contract he wants a massive bump to at least match Mount. They are unlikely to be able to do it so he could well leave. The local lad out of their academy who their fans more associate with. And who is the better player as it turns out.

I am basing all of this on the gap between Le Fees weekly wage paid for by the club and any of our other lads being significant. I read somewhere Ballard is our top earner and on around £20k. Suggestion Le Fee is on double. My experience is upset can be caused when some folk get paid significantly more than others.

as I just said OTR it’s a big difference for committing to a 4 year contract at £69K per week to paying 6 months wage (loan fee)

it shouldn’t upset the players as we will only commit to paying his wage IF we go up in which case most of our best players would get significant pay rises

According to some on here Romano is the arch truth speaker. His every tweet is hung on. He says we are covering his wages. Whether we pay them to Roma up front, monthly really is no different to if we paid the same amount to Le Fee dirrctly. That is the cost to the club of Le Fee. Roman has put that in the public domain. If his wages are significantly more than others, then some others may be a bit narked. It may cause soms resentment. Then again it may not.

Imagine being part of a project team at work. You have had an absolutely brilliant first half of the project. You are delivering faster and to a higher quality. The mgt team think wow, we might be able to make even more money faster off this than planned. Lets go and bring in another project team member, on a much bigger salary, to try and finish what the existing team have started. Some may think, great, I want success, some others may think what about my reward? Human nature.

My last post on this, I am an outlier here and I dont want to rain on the parade. On a football level I will back him 100% and hope he does a brilliant job and becomes a Sunderland legend. I am not against the player, I trust the judgement of others, I just see a few little red flags that may or not be a problem.

To be fair the existing team failed at Stoke etc, and missed out of being top two ...

... if he helps them get to the PL all of their wages will increase.

I can't see any problem tbh.

Well this all seems great and I think the owners and Speakman have earned enough trust to let us relax and believe they know what they’re doing. Anybody know what WMS have to say about it all?

It's a fair point, and keeping wages in balance is very hard when a club starts spending significantly more on transfers than it has been doing.

I know nothing of the player, but good luck to him. Come here and put it all in and you'll be fine. If he can get into that midfield and stay there, he's a bloody good player
