I wonder how contract bonuses, etc are treated, e.g. annual bonus?

You forgot to add MAT….….Mark Ashton Tax!

That was gonna be my next place to look. That HXJ bloke (blokess), he’s not wrong y’know!

Somewhere between £250-500k is my guess. Probably some add-ons, e.g. sell-on.

Poor piece imho. The above is what happened to Bury.

Yep, just playing the odds, rather than showing any real football nous. https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league-academy-players-figures-appearances-numbers-1387302

Here’s another, Alex Danson, GB Hockey gold medalist, although her head injury wasn’t caused playing hockey. You may remember her as the gumshielded goalscorer in the Olympus. https://www.headway.org.uk/about-brain-injury/individuals/brain-injury-and-me/alex-danson-bennett-mbe/ I met her at a work event where she was the guest speaker before her injury.

Have you watched the recent documentary series on Apple TV….really interesting seeing the songs come together.

I think some of this misinterpretation comes from me jumping the gun on a tweet from Gregor about the rules without the full context of the rest of the comments. So I don’t believe he broke any rules, just fell foul of the rules of Nige’s selection policy.

I watched Hull on Tuesday night v Blackburn and the intensity of their play and midfield in particular was very high. Tyreeq wouldn’t cope in that game type, which is a bit surprising they were one of the teams interested in him.

The first vhs tape my bruv rented from the video shop on Gilda parade when we got our first video recorder. What was it called? Bernco was back of Asda, so it wasn’t that!

Stalker ??? Then he comes back, and we look to move him on elsewhere, I guess. I don’t see any option to keep him here.

Nice camaraderie with the young’uns. Lot of focus on Cundy too…but I’m not reading tonnes into that.

Getting a bit complicated for me now but appreciate the knowledge on here ??????

Almost as if the stadium sale was a bit dodgy isn’t it? That just makes the decision to allow a “sale” of £81m look massively generous to Derby.

That’s why I have him / her on ignore. There are a lot of posters on OTIB you can disagree with, and have a really good debate with, still disagree with, but appreciate their standpoint. The post on the previous page sums it up.

Are you suggesting playing him LWB? Without trying to be funny (honestly!), Antoine’s run is only down the inside left, because we counter-attacked from a corner. His second goal, he picked it up centrally and rolled his man into the inside-right position. Why would you want to move him away from a position that he seems to be very productive in? Apart from the O’Dowda reason? ??? If you start him wide, I think (my opinion only) you limit 50% of what Antoine can do. He naturally roams, but better to roam from the middle than one side. He makes good “in to out” runs.

Sandhurst? Red? You not Richard Gould are you? ??? Great post btw. I think he’s had his boots up the backside, last season, and earlier this season. What I did like was that Nige was petulant when recognising he played decently against Stoke. For me that says “has ability, has the wrong attitude”. And that’s not enough. And get some fans moan that players “steal a wage”. Not a phrase I like per se, but we’ve been calling out for a while to have a strong character as manager. With rumours of other clubs interested (Blackpool, Hull), I would imagine any fee is a bit better than nominal, albeit not large either. My guess fwiw is £350k (what we paid for him allegedly). I hope he does ok at Ipswich because it makes him more attractive to bids in the summer. Not too well though ??? According to sum, Nige treats the press conferences with contempt…not if you get him going eh @redsquirrel ???

Ward AND Linningtom….eff me. A shit sandwich if ever I saw one.

Rumoured that Blackpool and Hull were after him….and fits the narrative from Nige that he’s not gonna help another team in our league unless it’s the right deal. If true, then 2 other clubs think he’s championship ability.

I’ve started adjusting my estimates of “covid allowances” down a bit. I said before (agree with @BTRFTG) that the cost of creating some of that Income won’t have been incurred. It won’t be possible to be totally accurate, e.g. how will EFL deal with £x million of lost season ticket revenue, but £y million of increased Robinstv payments? As you say Swiss Ramble’s calculation a bit quick and dirty.

Geoff Eltringham - hold my beer!

Haven’t listened yet. re Nige’s interview, it seems him and @BTRFTGare more aligned on ages of players breaking into the first team (doffs cap?) and holding down a spot. Nige says 18/19….I think a bit older. In my defence, as per my “one loan too many” article, I am definitely an advocate of at least finding out early whether they can swim straight away or not. In the past we haven’t given players a chance early enough. I do believe that players like Benarous have benefitted from training daily as part of the first team group, let alone playing.

Because I’d rather him than Dasilva currently (size of Cardiff), and I’d rather play Pring LCB than shuffle him to LWB in place of O’Dowda and then play Vyner | Kalas | Atkinson. I want my gurt big’un central! As I said it’s got compromises. I’m hoping O’Dowda plays better than v Fulham. Havent seen any Robins Uncut this week…who knows Cundy might make his debut. I guess we will get some signs from Nige tomorrow.

They appear to have players going through the motions.
