But, the wage cap we have is not an attractive proposition for players to come down here. How many times have we been linked to a top player and we are willing to pay the transfer fee but when it comes to actually signing it doesn't go through. If I was a footballer and not from this area I would much rather live somewhere a little worse but get a much higher wage packet at the end of the month and provide better for my family in the long run. Look at Andre Gray to Burnley instead of us for example. If we paid the wages that Burnley did at the time or more, he would have been a Bristol City player. It may look attractive to US but as a footballer with a limited life span on my job to earn maximum money, it is not an attractive club. Possibly but this seems to be going up as well. Kalas on 25k allegedly. I’d say that would get us a fair amount of available players willing to drop a division. Maybe that is a naive thought though. I think most of the best players in this years championship are within that 25k a week range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalas is a rare one I think as we won him over with his loan and hes never really had a home club, but that is no way the case with any other top player in the championship. I bet Swansea, Leeds, WBA, Forest, Derby, Hull, Sheffield Wednesday, Stoke best paid players are much higher than Kalas wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 43 minutes ago, The Horse With No Name said: He also said that if the team had known how the result had gone, before kick off, they would have made different decisions during it. Is it just me or is that just total bullshit? Whaaaaaaaat!!! That’s unbelievable. I’m staggered! re wages, we have a top half Champ wage bill. As I understand it we are paying too much for some players! I know that’s not true for top players though, where bar your Kalas’s, it’s tough to attract. Many years ago when we were struggling to get out of the third tier, I suggested we were a nice club for the average player to come to. Are we starting to become that in the Champ.

Bedred31 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Think that SL made a line in the sand decision before the start of the season and he’ll stick with it, whatever. Top 6 or LJ will be gone. I thought this was a bit harsh originally, given the big sales and the need to rebuild after the summer, but now think it’s fair. I think LJ would accept it now as well.
