It's all over Twitter - confirmed. The vultures are circling.....but a wage off the bill! Wonder what % Cardiff are paying?
100% of wages paid bu Cardiff and a Loan fee received.....CONFIRMED http://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/LatestNews/news/Lawrence-Agrees-Cardiff-Switch-3182.aspx £20k off the weekly wage bill.....is this Cardiffs push for promotion? To be fair, not surprised he is going, Joel Ward can play right midfield, and lets all be honest - has LL impressed anyone over the last few months? Good business in my opinion.
With LL on 19k a week and EH on 15k that's £135k a month saved. Dave Kitson to Reading next? That's a rumour I heard from a Royals supporter I work with. If true that would push the monthly savings up to about £200k a month.
Heard on the radio that Birch will be in court on the 9th march, he will either put forward pompey to be liquidated or not. Any one else heard this?.
Needs must though meowth - needs must. Apart from making up the numbers, I don't think we will miss Liam Lawrence as a player. PUP
I'm in stage seven at the moment, Woopert, remorse. You're languishing in stage three I think, denial.
A bitter but necessary pill I'm afraid. I just hope the administrator can balance it so that the club can survive to fight another day and, at the same time, keep enough in the squad to some how stagger up to 21st in the table by the end of the season
Thats the trouble devon most of you want the big peice of cake and to eat it as well. Many many months ago your club should have sold all the big wage earners and brought in Lower league players for a fraction of the wage bill. But you still want it all
"Most of you"? Who's "most of you"? Have you canvassed the fans on this forum? Asked them what they want or whether they support the actions of the Administrator? Or are you just making a general assumption?
But Devo, what if you managed to do that, what then? At the end of the season you will have no gate money, no parachute payments or any other significant income to speak of. How are you going to pay even the non-playing staff, let alone the players!? The reality is that unless someone with more money than sense buys the club for sentimental reasons, how can you possibly escape the inevertable? I'm sorry, but plan B looks like the only plan in town from where I am sat.
My comment was of course more a pipe dream than an expectation. As things stand; if we have a club to support in League One next season, we should look on that as a result!
