Not sure how it works, it might be reduced if he finds another club, but he is entitled to the full whack by law. I suppose it depends on whatever they can negotiate and how much Grigg wants to play football.
Very true, nothing can be more demoralising for our U23's than seeing what has happened here over recent years, I cant remember anything more up-lifting than our display motivated by Robbie Stockdale, in which JoS symbolically handed over the armband to Bali Mumba, I thought it was the beginning of a new era, and it was, but not the one I and many others had hoped for, and still do.
Just seen that. FFS - We really have been utter amateurs in the recruitment department for years now. This is one thing I'm really hoping this new ownership group nail - getting our shambles of recruitment teams working properly.
I would pay the bastard weakly (pun intended) and if the work shy ****er tries to sign for another club before he has finished milking us, they pay his whole salary, slopey shouldered ****ing ****house, goes down with Rodwell as just a ****ing leech
problem there mate every club would be able to see how ****e he is, right now i don't think we could give him away, not on the money he gets for this league. just think if we had a clause where he got a basic then x amount per goal , that would make the twat move, and i cant see that in the present climate we don't try and negotiate clauses like that in deals. If they think they are good enough it should be no problem
Even at 5k a week it’s almost 400k and he’s probably on closer to double that. It doesn’t particularly help either as the salary would still count towards the cap but would leave a space in the squad. Most effective financially is to just keep paying him but leave him out of the salary cap squad. Frustrating as literally paying him for nowt but if we can’t shift him it’s either that or he gets paid and takes up a squad place.
Apparently he had a problem with his knee when at Wigan, perhaps we should have picked this up when he had his medical Or maybe we did and still took the risk as Donald was so desperate to buy him.
That must be a pretty serious knee problem if he is going to be out for 9 months? We wont even be able to give the twat away now
Rodwell was a load of different injuries, this is one injury for 9 months, i take it he will be insured, and we all know what twats insurance companies are, if they think he is pulling a fast one they will get sports doctors to check him which they are entitled to by law. Same rules apply to the man in the street as well. or do you have a different track of thinking mate
thanks for that heads up mate, to date i have not heard that, Donald did the buiss himself on this one so i heard, 4 mill for a league 1 player is stupid, now with the breaking news today from Wigan, what goes round comes round they could end up going out of Business fire sale on players shortly, servers the greedy twats right
Just for reference I attach a link to a BBC article which mentions a knee injury back in 2017, unfortunately I didn't find anything more specific but I'm sure there is more info out there.
