Anybody know why the renewal forms haven't been sent out yet? And also is it true that they will be going up in price to pay for Paul McShanes wages?
Someone on facebook has said they'll be out in two weeks. A lot of people keep mentioning the fact that tickets are going up - but they actually went down last season. For the three seasons before this one, I paid £380 for my ticket in the East Stand, this season it was only £350. I don't think we can really complain if they go up a little following the turmoil of the last few years.
I'm hoping they just stay the same since it's a lot of money. Paul McShanes been on £26k/w since we signed him, which is crazy considering when Man City first signed Adam Johnson they only paid him £25k/w.
The wages are offensive, no question - but we were in the premier league - the home of insanity on that front. But the truly unforgivable thing is the contract lengths we were giving out. It's as if the management felt they were playing Fifa Manager, and had realised a cheat were you could sign anyone you wanted by putting a '4' instead of a '2' into a little box. There is no justification for it. All of these players, had we been successful in staying in the Prem, and establishing ourselves, would still have had to be jettisoned for better players by now, so they would have strangled us in the Prem, just as they are in the Championship. There really is no excuse.
