That’s the issue isn’t it? Wages!, he’s not prepared to take a drop, I didn’t know whether he’d get any better than we offered elsewhere due to his recent injuries, obviously he has. I was hoping he’d stay on reduced wages, even if just short term to prove his fitness.
The days of City bringing in new players on £27k a week are long gone. It's why I'm prepared to give NP time here at AG.
I agree, he’s done well imo to turn things around while keeping our championship status.I was also relatively happy with the backing he’s had, until we sold Scott. If we don’t push ion this year now though, without Scott, or money from the sale to boost the squad I believe he’s within his rights to point the finger in the direction of the board room.
I would have thought it’s all relative with the majority of the clubs in the championship, none will be spending as they once did.. I don’t think we are unique..
Haven't all but one of the big earners from the LJ/Ashton era gone, now that Kalas has left? Wells has had his contract downsized. I think only Weimann is left on Mark Ashton T&Cs (but I might be wrong)????
Pretty sure Weimann had a new, reduced contract as well? Wasn't he released and then resigned the same season as Nathan Baker, or is my mind playing tricks on me?
In that case there is nobody on Ashton T&Cs left at the club. All wages now being paid have been negotiated by the post LJ/Ashton management team. No excuses now.
Han-Noah Massengo nearing Burnley move https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2023/han-noah-massengo-nearing-burnley-move/
Bristol City £2.7m Bristol City star ‘en-route’ to Burnley after transfer u-turn Bristol City have watched on from afar to find out where one of their summer exits would end up - and it looks to be good news for them. Burnley are said to be in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Han-Noah Massengo, according to reports in France. French newspaper L’Equipe claims that the Clarets are set to complete the signing of the 22-year-old in what would be a dramatic transfer u-turn from Massengo and his representatives. It was reported by the same outlet earlier this summer that Massengo had rejected a move to Turf Moor, but now he looks set to link up with Vincent Kompany’s side who have had a winless start to the 2023/24 Premier League campaign. Massengo had reported transfer interest from numerous clubs, including Bristol City’s league rivals Leeds United, as well as Celta Vigo and most recently Turkish outfit Trabzonspor. A return to Monaco had been suggested also, having played against them whilst on loan at Auxerre, but now he looks set to remain in England, and get his opportunity of playing in the top flight of English football. Massengo has been a free agent since the start of July after contract offer from the club had been received a response from his representatives. He penned an emotional message to Robins supporters, and now he could give his club one final gift, with Bristol City due to receive a larger amount of compensation should he move to another team from England. It was reported by the Bristol Post earlier this summer that had Massengo joined a team abroad, then they would receive up to £260,000, but now they are likely to receive more because of a ruling by the Professional Football Compensation Committee. Football League rules are that when a professional player rejects a new deal in order to move to a different club on a 'free transfer' compensation is payable to the club that lost the player. Massengo joined from Monaco in the summer of 2019, and spent three-and-a-half seasons at the club, and so Bristol City can say they played a key role in his development. Dan Chapman, who works for Leathes Prior Solicitors and helps clubs regarding compensation said to the Bristol Post in May: “Under the FIFA system, compensation will be approximately in the region of €300,090. “Under a PFCC ruling one could expect Bristol City to be awarded not just substantially more compensation up-front, but also the benefit of future contingent payments.” Should the move be finalised, then Burnley and Bristol City would enter talks over talks about compensation. It is a similar scenario to when Kane Wilson joined from Forest Green Rovers last summer, with the Robins paying a nominal fee to the League Two outfit.
Yes he did, but he’s probably signed his last contract when Delboy was dishing them out. Could be the reason he won’t sign a new one as it’s reduced terms. I heard James is on high wages as well.
Should be interesting HNM gets on if he does move to Burnley.....NP wasn't able to get the best out of him IMO. I think there is better to come from the lad..Kompany may well be the right/better manager for him..
