He's stating that the reason he hasn't been playing in due to league rules. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11701_6991595,00.html? I've got news for him. The reason you haven't been playing is because you're crap.
What's so confusing about maximum 5 loan players in a match squad, and being too **** to be one of those 5 players? At least we were only paying him 20k p/w not 30k like people were saying
The article states we paid him £1,631-00 per minute that he played for us. Also, interestingly when we tried to get rid, Stoke didn't want him back. Newcastle, then of the championship remember, did want him, but we asked for a fee of £500k, at which point they backed out. Financially astute move by Duffman I'd say. Judging by Ashleys ability to throw away money, it appears that even he was 'out Ashleyed' by Duffman. Thank God, Adam Pearson came back to steady the ship and correct the lash ups of the previous administration (pun intended)
Maybe I read it wrong at the time but I thought it was Stoke who blocked his move from Hull to Newcastle by demanding a fee. Don't see how we could demand a fee on a player who isn't ours.
Sonko really showed Zayette how to play didnt he haha, no wonder we got him on loan he looked like a nervous wreck!
Compensation for the termination of the season long loan with us. Possibly a demand that they repaid the loan fee we paid for having Sonko in the first place. If you paid me £100 to borrow my car for a week and I came round on Tuesday night and said I was having it back then to lend to my mum you'd want some of your money back wouldn't you.
I think we paid a £500k loan fee on top of his wages, which is probably where the total cost of £30k a week came from.
So we got rid of Turner permanently (for £4m and on £25k/week) and brought in Sonko on loan (for £500k and £20k/week) and certain relegation from the Premier League?
They were completely seperate deals, much to the annoyance of Charlton and Brentford. Given there was a £2.5M bid for McShane rejected it is rather bizarre that we then only got £4M for Turner and then Sunderland agreed we could have the ninja for £500k though. It's almost like the fee for Turner was really 50% more than the paperwork says.
