wayne allisons tongues Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Did Wilson tell SL players would not sign on at wages being offered and told SL that they would not accept. Was the disscussion about this all along and Danny knew what was on table and thought this is impossible to work with next season. Backroom staff leaving players not accepting contracts players we want not agreeing to sign or wages are to high Was Danny pushed or did he jump?

wayne allisons tongues Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 No, but did he tell board that deals on offer were no good and that cutting wage bill would create problems with players, listening to radio on saturday appears board want to save money but improve squad. Did danny say impossible so got in yes man to do it instead who seems to have awlked into quite a mess. I am confident BT will sort it out but where is chairman when we need him to sort this out.

screech Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 A mess??? There is no mess at this club, if the players aren't happy with what they have been offered, they have the freedom to find another club if they so wish. If I was SL I would be doing the same thing, the wages have to come down, we need less players on the books, If Wilson had got us into the 1st divsion the players would be celebrating a nice wage rise, he didn't and we need to save money, Wilson was well aware of the consequences of failure, SL can't be expected to keep ptting his hands in his pockets to fund a failing club, the club needs to stand on it's own feet.

Guest bugs Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Agree it's not a mess but you've got to admit things could be better. Carey & Brown both asking for more, Peacock & Burnell leaving. OK but none of the 7 players have signed yet, what if none of them do? Would that constitute a mess? Yes we had to leave it late to sort contracts out and yes we can afford to lose 1 or 2 players, but not all of them. Openness in player contract negotiations is one thing but the comments coming out on the website at the moment seem to be an open offer to any other club out there to come and get our players........ out of contract not offered a good deal looking for better would have to consider decent offers for key players in contract we'll be lucky if there is anyone left come the start of the season!

bucksred Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Its Simple fark up promotion, and your new pay deals will reflect Div 2 wages. however had you gone up!!!! you would have a Div 1 offer. This losing the playoff final is not failure b@ll@x, is exactly why we are now in this mess...Steve L made this clear months back...yeah spose Wonder-Son would have known, but too stubborn to take it on board!!!

Guest LeicesterRed Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Whilst I appreciate players have a short "shelf life", the wage demands are pretty outrageous. My wife works as the head of a Maternity unit in an NHS hospital, loads of responsibility for staff, budgets patients etc, with no where near the amount of dosh our players get for running around kicking a ball. Even at our level, wages are a massive drain on the clubs coffers and as has been shown with Leeds, wage demands can destroy even the strongest of clubs. Everyone wants more money for the work they do(me included) but we have to get this matter into perspective. When wages grew at a massive rate within the game, some of us could see what was coming. It cannot go on I`m afraid. It amazes me that the gate receipts for the Scum at Old Trafford don`t meet their wage bill. Without merchandising, the scum would go under.(Hope they do) That`s one thing our club can do better is get better merchandise to create more income to meet players growing wage demands, and the few with over inflated views of themselves and their ability can go and play elsewhere if their hearts are not with City. After all, can anyone say that all the team that played at Cardiff were worth their pay for that day?? It may have been an off day, Leeds had an off season, but Mark Viduka still got his £60,000 per week until February for doing very, very little and played with no heart or interest in the club certainly for the latter part of the season. Players want better wages, then produce the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezey Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Exactly !! Which is why you wont see me pleading with the likes of Aaron Brown or any of the others to stay. Some of them seem incapable of seeing the bigger picture and for all the badge kissing antics they would be willing to bankrupt the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
