Don't know but we are probably going to end up with some EFL oversight, however the appeal goes. Can't see any other reason to let Burstow go before bringing in a replacement.

If they were making us reduce the wage bill there’d be zero chance of them letting us sign anyone. It doesn’t make sense to reduce it just to be able to inflate it further.
It depends.
The wheeze might be to ship out high earners, then bring in lesser players on relative peanuts.
Voilà. Wage bill reduced.
Fk me Ern, if Burstow is one of our high earners I better lace up my boots again for minimum wage !
You can see why mcburnie wants as much as he does
When people like giles are on a fortune
And every other player seems to be on insane wages
And mcburnies on a free and been promoted multiple times
Why would he accept much less
He would have been on a lot more than that at Chelsea.
Because at the moment he hasn't got a club or a contract with anyone therefore he is earning nothing a week.
The ball is only in his court when more than one club is putting money down on the table and bidding against another club for his services. We've all read that other clubs are interested but how many, if any have put money on the table? For all we know if could be just his agent claiming more than City are interested?
I couldn’t find anything that backs up the claims of £15,000 a week for Burstow, but Footystats says we paid João Pedro over £2,800,000 last season, making him the 8th highest earner in the Championship that year. That’s about £54,000 a week.
It’s still absolutely mental, but If we’re paying experienced players £50,000+ you can see how a player like Burstow would be offered £15,000 in context.
It worth mentioning that some other sources say Pedro was only on £16,000 a week while he was here and £54,000 was his previous wage in Turkey. If true, that’d be one hell of a pay cut to take to play for city. Maybe there’s hope McBurnie will do the same…

No way. maybe a conversion issue into £. I'm told none of our current players are on anything over 32-35k / week. The Mcburnnie deal would take us wayyyyy above this into Bullard wage levels

FootyStats wage information is generally based on estimations and educated guesses rather than verified data. While they may use some publicly available information and potentially Football Manager data as a starting point, much of it is likely derived from "best guesses" by volunteers or extrapolated from other sources. Therefore, the accuracy of FootyStats wage data is not guaranteed and should be treated with caution.
I hope so. Footystats says it’s verified but who knows where they get that data from. Some other sources say Pedro was only on £16,000 a week while he was here and £54,000 was his previous wage in Turkey. That seems like too big a pay cut to be accurate, but let’s hope it’s true and McBurnie decides to do the same.
Nothing accurate about AI overview either. Should be treated with caution.
Not a chance Pedro was on £54k a week.
Burstow came from Chelsea so wouldn't be a huge surprise to see £15k. Big chunk off the budget if Bolton are paying most/all.
My theory is we're on an overall wage budget cap (as Baz stated in his article today), which is why we seem to be moving on players like Jones and Burstow who'll be on 5 figures p/w.
Akintola and Destan will be on low wages so they won't take up much of the overall budget, and we're then saving our chunk for Lundstram and McBurnie.
Lots of pressure on those two to be the saviours, presuming these rumours are true.

You’re making your theory up
Bolton will not be paying most or all at all
In All negotiations we are in the weaker position
And I love the way you state so definitely those two will be on low wages
****jng laughable
Of course I'm making my theory up it's a theory haha.
Why would we let Burstow go if we weren't getting a chunk of wages covered? Would just be pointless.
Also the low wages in going off what another member posted about their estimated wages in Turkey.
No need to get quite so snippy at a genuine discussion post.
