leicesterisme Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July 12 hours ago, FoxinNotts said: Some of the comments on here are (as usual) embarrassing. He's not a Premier League first choice, this is true. He'd do very well for a EFL club. Very well. I'd love to see the likes of Wrexham come in for him. He was there as a youth product. He'd be the difference between them winning the league or not. Would be a real coup for them. Good luck to him. The epitome of a confidence player. You still need to be able to use your hands in the EFL, that part doesn't change so I struggle to see how he would do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 24 July Share Posted 24 July (edited) £50k a week amounts to around £2.5m a year. I'm no expert in contracts etc but if we could get a team to pay us £2.5m to pay up his contract, then he basically leaves on a free, can negotiate a new contract at a lower wage with another club. Could a team loan him for £2.5m, covering his wages and then they just sign him for free next summer? Am I being too optimistic that anyone would pay £2.5m for him? We just need to find anyway to get rid of him. Edited 24 July by jayfox26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being relatively optimistic if you think anyone is paying £2.5 for the hopeless prat let alone £2.5m! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to find anyway to get rid of him. If he leaves for £2.5m, that does not equal leaving on a free. He would leave for the £2.5m, then we have the savings in wages on top of that. If he leaves on a £1 transfer, we would just save the wages. Edited 25 July by ACF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we give him the £2.5m to pay up his contract, then technically he leaves for free. The issue isn't finding someone to take him, the issue is he wants his money for the last year of his contract, which no other club will pay and it seems the only way we could get rid of him, is us paying up his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July The only way he will leave for lesser money involves football reasons i.e. he wants regular football. If he is happy to waste another year here, then fine he has a lucrative contract. Whoever gave him the contract extension, and if still at the Club, needs tar and feathering at half-time at the Spuds game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to find anyway to get rid of him. Even if anyone was crazy enough to give us £2.5m, realistically no one is giving him more than £25k a week unless he’s signing as a free agent to be 3rd choice homegrown keeper at a top club. Would you accept a move to half your salary? I know I wouldn’t. Only got ourselves to blame on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July Interestingly FFP in League One is far more relaxed and is based on wages to turnover ratio and nothing to do with transfer fees. Also cash injections from owners can count towards revenue for this. We should be offering Wrexham the chance to buy him for £2.5m and we subsidise his wages for 12 months and get him as far away from here as possible.

My previous message said, if we could get another team to pay us £2.5m, then he basically leaves for free but we haven't had to pay him to leave. The other team has ultimately paid up his contract. It's not likely to happen anyway, he'll stay here as 3rd choice and then leave for free next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
