No one anywhere has said all suppliers have been paid. The suggestion is that some have. Not all. They are confident it will be reduced but not necessarily lifted according to Baz. And irrespective of the appeal, there's no compelling answer to the concerns raised about why, if there are no financial issues was this allowed to happen?
The wages were absolutely crazy. He thought he had us over a barrel I think and we have a reputation now of paying silly wages.
I dont blame him though No transfer fee Balls in his court Im sure he will settle for lower wages eventually
He should not be entertained at this Club. He's clearly a mercenary and probably thinks he can put in a minimum effort for maximum reward...Needs ditched NOW!!
Thing is he would probably command a fee of a couple of mil if he wasn't on a free. He knows that and is just trying to get what he can in a short career. I agree we shouldn't pay it but understand why he is asking for that sort of money as over 3 years it would still be good value taking into account there is no fee being paid. We just don't need someone on that sort of money upsetting the other players.
What he's done in the past has got absolutely no bearing or connection to my statement... But anyway. I work that out because 'I think' if he gets his way wages wise,he has us over the proverbial bonnet and will visualise himself as some sort of demigod on 3 or 4 times the wages some of our regular players earn,bad idea,bad way to recruit If you want mercenaries at the Club and that's all he is, that's entirely your business,I don't,that's mine.
trouble is , thats where we are at the moment. people know we can only get freebies, so they are going to try and milk it. and to be fair any free transfer worth having is going to have other suitors so if we cant compete with a decent signing on fee we are going to have to give them too higher wages or be left with a load of ****e nobody else wants.
Simples, get him signed up by Maribor using Acuns connections, and astute negotiation skills, they can pick up majority of his salary and we crack on at £5k a week.
I agree with this DJ but we do need to be careful here.If the £45k is near the mark,it's a lot of money over a season(close on £2.5 million). It's a big commitment for a Club in our position financially and aspirationally. Ultimately It'll be what it'll be and we'll find out soon enough but I don't think he's worth that wage.
