Bar BS3 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Sadly, this is probably fairly accurate of any Bosman Transfer t&c in modern day football. I'm sure the joke of an England cap he recieved also helps increase his stock. I'm not suggesting this letter is or isn't genuine, but i think the figures and terms are probably about right for a free transfer joining a premier league club. I'm afraid the rest of us will just have to go to work everyday for the rest of our lives to earn a fraction of what he (and many others) will earn in a year, for playing football!

Scrumpty Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 There's no mention of a signing on fee - Bothroyd's being shafted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon uk Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 how rediculous, but it is the agents fee that bugs me - £130k pa, plus money if qpr stay up? And he doesnt actually do anything for it once bothroyd signs! The 92 league clubs should sign an agreement to confirm that no more agents fees will be paid, and if they want a remuneration, the players pay for it themselves. I am sure someone has worked out what the total fees are per year, that is being paid for by people going through turnstyles, as well as tv money, but is going into the pockets of people outside the game. I have dealt with Agencies before in my own role in financial services, and the agent is asked by a new employer to provide a suitable candidate, and is paid a % of the new candidates salary once they agree to start work there. In football it seems like the agents are running around looking for their candiates to move positions to generate further income, but in every sense are acting for the player rather than the club, but the club are having to pay the costs of it. Like I say, if the players need an agent, they should pay for their services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Signing on fee is split down into his weekly salary i.e Salary £25,000 per week ( including S.O.F ) = £1,300,000. Be surprised if it was genuine but the figures sound quite realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbeast Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 There's no mention of a signing on fee - Bothroyd's being shafted! Isn't the S O F mentioned the Signing On Fee. Just as an aside, if Bothroyd had a change of heart and went back to Cardiff looking sheepish do you think he'd get shafted then?

Best, Sky " This is a letter from his agent Cant see that being genuine, anyone 'leaking' that would be in deep shite (there'd be very few suspects) & I'd imagine most media hackers/ PI hackers are keeping a rather low profile right now!! Only a complete nutter would breach confidentiality in this way surely? PS: if the figures mentioned look about right (& acceptable?) - I reckon running a Club Hot Air Balloon would be a drop in the ocean & an absolute bargain!!!

Not one mention in that about anything related to performance. Wouldn't a striker be looking for a goal or assist bonus? £2500 just for making the squad of 18? If these figures are right there is a good chance that Patrick Agyemang gets something similar, how crazy is that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
