These figures are prior to him signing his new contract this week. I can't see him jumping from £2900 a week to over £30k a week, can you?

Nope. Everton have had their collar felt by the FA last year for FFP. They've the highest wage to income ratio in the premier league and are working to reduce it. No way they'll have given him big bucks.

This Connor Pye any good? Must have missed the posts about his signing being confirmed - see the page on their website has been removed. Have we had the scarf pic yet?

I’ve had unconfirmed reports we might be signing someone between the ages of 18 and 35. He can play possibly at the back. Although contracting reports say he might play in midfield or attack. Either way it’s no news

He's been bought for the under 23 squad. The club posted him and another guy signed at 4pm yesterday.

If he's on a rolling contract, this current one will finish next year and then a new one will automatically renew as long as both sides are okay with it. He's got 6 months left of his contract when he wakes up today.

That’s not correct. It’s as Ned Werby described. He always has a year remaining on his contract.

I really don’t see the concern with the rolling contract. It’s absolutely the right approach.

Jarrod Branthwaite played a fair few games for Evertons first team last season unless I'm mistaken with somebody else. In terms of rumoured salaries they personally mean **** all to me. Some are saying Broadhead is on £32k per week some are saying he's on less than 3k per week I have zero concept of what a premiership reserve player is on and frankly I don't really care. Broadhead is for me old news. Yes he helped us out of League one for which I will always be grateful but football is a fickle industry he is no sooner gone than forgotten for me. We've seen Simms play 1 game for us and folk are already saying he is better than Broadhead which proves this fact.

Players to me are commodities that come and go none of which can ever be seen to be bigger than the club. Not that I think anybody ever thought that about Broadhead mind. We bring in players and get rid of players it's part and parcel of being a football club all I ask is anyone representing our club gives there all and has a relative level of competence at doing so.

Not having a go at you though mate just this whole Broadhead wage thing is doing my ****ing napper in.

Very well put.

Ego of a new owner. "I'll spend but do it right" Or, taking the risky approach that paid off last season.

Either way, they assume they are going to run the club better than the last guy.

I didn't know they had a new owner mind. Explains a lot.

We'll see how it goes. It's true of course that he always has a minimum of a year left here. But it could also be a maximum.

If he's happy fair enough I suppose. I'd be interested to know how many other clubs have arrangements which are similar, though it's fair to say that the ephemeral nature of many contracts, be they three of four years or whatever, means they are not that different anyway.

Let's hope he squeezes another result out today anyway!!

Was pre season last season. Kept Leam Richardson on which was a masterstroke as it looks like he was the secret behind Paul Cook's success.

Never been keen on Wigan, but Richardson is a good young manager. Helps they have backed him.

He did a brilliant job last season mind. Yes they spent money but so did Ipswich and Sheff Wed. To take multiple signings and shape them into a unit was impressive. He’s be on my list of future managers. Eyes on the lad at MK dons this seasons also. If he does well again he’s a good manager.

MKD played some great football last season. Wigan are just a physical team. Grafters, loads of long balls and crosses into the box, can’t remember seeing a team score as many headers as they did last season.

It'd be Interesting to know why they were late with the wages twice in the summer then!
