Napa you’re way over inflating your figures again.
Villa will not offer anything more than 20k p/w to a lad who has yet to achieve anything outside of the Championship.
I suspect Huddersfield were able to offer Karlan something in a similar range of 15 to 20k.
Lyle Taylor will not get a contract offer for bigger than 12k p/w from anyone in our new league.
Just because the average is high, it doesn’t mean that’s the going rate. You need to see a per club break down to understand that these averages are heavily skewed by monster Premier League contracts.
If you are right then you’ve made my day. All the numbers in Airman’s article had me depressed. You’ve made me feel somewhat better.
One thing mate - if you ever start your own business, can I come and work for you?
Well, if you were in the Championship, Ricky ...... Napa would offer you £30k pw.
I’m not taking £70k pay cut. I’m off to Villa.
Just checked on Wiki, Ricky_Otto. I see you're now 51 ....... quite possibly not top of Villa's scouting list right now?
I'd take Napa's offer, if I were you..... £70k for a 'never quite made it' has-been might never be offered to you again.
Just has a look at some of the top strikers wages in the championship, just a few
Lewis Grabban - Forest - 35k Neal Maupay - Brentford - 21k Che Adams - Birmingham - 17.5k Kemar Roofe - Leeds - 6k (must be wrong) Britt Assombalonga - Boro - 40k rising to 60k with bonuses Steven Fletcher - Wednesday - 30k Famara Diedhiou - Bristol City - 35k (seems high)
Now I don't know how accurate these are, the only ones that seem definite are Grabbans, Adams, Fletcher and Assombalongas as I saw them on articles. But Jesus wept. We really are in a shark tank wage wise and can't compete with that
Sure that’s scary but what did any of those sides achieve this season? What were Norwich paying Pukki? What weekly wage was Billy Sharp on? To a lesser extent, take a look at the contracts of Lee Gregory and Steve Morison at Millwall.
I bet they are all comfortably under 20k, possibly closer to 10k with the exception of Pukki who may well be on 15k+.
You are a fool and deserve what you get if you’re paying Steven Fletcher 30k p/w...
You don’t HAVE TO pay these extortionate contracts to have success in the Championship.
No chance we will offer him 30k that's insane money for us. Wasn't Jorge Teixeira our top earner on like 15k a week and that crippled us?
The more I think about it the less likely I think our top players are going to stay. At most I think we would offer Aribo what 10k, Aston Villa would offer at the bare minimum 30k.
No what crippled us was having 5 or 6 players on similar figures none of which showing they were worth it. (Except Igor at the time - He was phenomenal until that first injury)
Who were the big earners and what wages? Igor, Jorge, Sarr, JBG who else?
Around that time, Airman disclosed that Naby Sarr was the highest earner, on £274,000 p.a. That is 'only' about £5,270 a week.

Good point, some the wages are OTT for some players. I am just showing that we will struggle to lure players. Sometimes it could be a bullet dodge, other times we could miss out just have to see.
As far as I can see Lee Gregory was on 8k originally when Millwall signed him from Halifax, can't see how much his improved contract was but if you had to guess surely 10/15k mark, anywhere between there. Pukki I can't seem to find, all I can see on Google was 500k per year but that's in 2012 and Sharp I have seen ranges of 15-25k so somewhere along that sum.
So realistically we are looking at Millwall type salaries for our players. I know he isn't in the same league anymore but Will Grigg was on 12k at Wigan maybe even more cause this was an old web page. I reckon he is on more with Sunderland
I know someone who came through the youth team at a premier league club, he didn’t reach the first team but played for them in preseason friendlies, got on the bench for league cup games (but didn’t play), went out on loan to league 2 clubs and did well, that sort of level. He earned £300 a week.
He was released a couple of years ago and now plays non-league football, he earns more doing that than he did as a teenager with a premier league side.
I don’t think you can assume that being with a premier league side automatically means you earn tens of thousands of pounds a week.

Kid at Forest Hill Boys with AA Jr was on £300pw as an under-18 at Chelsea. If he’d gone pro at 18 he’d have gone to £3,000pw. That was about six years ago.

That's Chelsea, though.
They pay enormous wages to youngsters, which is why their parents push them to sign for Chelsea academy.
And why Chelsea can hoover up so much young talent.

With Roland's shit brain we can't.
But with a smart owner, we easily could. And would.
According to Airman, the club is losing 8-10M per year. We will be gaining 5-8M more in revenues this year in The Championship. Re-signing Aribo to 25k per week (1.25M per year) is easy as pie. Getting Bauer at (total guess) 10k/week, Jonny at 8k... Eaves and Lamieras at 10k/week.... all of them together is just ... 3.3M !!! That can be done without breaking a sweat given the club will have an extra 5-8M in turnover this year. In fact, we could do all that and Roland's losses would actually drop from 8-10M per year down to 5-8M. No brainer, unless my numbers are way off (which... ummm.... you know, they occasionally are. ) But are they?
There were also about 10 tweets from Sam Quek to Lyle that she later deleted. after the derogatory tweet they went back and forth for a while. The attention tweet was posted a while after she deleted the others.
Why is Quek insinuating that these women are more competent at discussing football than men?
Surely they can be equally competent.
I expect she's just emphasising that they were competent, in anticipation of criticism that they aren't. It would all be fine if there weren't so many people apparently living in terror that women are about to take over the world.
Sadly I don't think Lyle comes out of this very well. Only caveat is that I didn't see her deleted tweets.
Really?
His original tweet raised a valid point and her only response was to refuse to believe who he was, mug off the level of football he plays at and then post some shitty little meme.
Another Liverpool fan that joins the list of being a complete div.

I think Lyle's initial point is fair though. I can understand why Sam Quek tweeted what she did. Modern feminism does like the positive affirmations, but this one comes across as massively cringe.

As long as we don’t take the piss he will sign

Fuck off Roland!

She deleted the initial tweet calling him out for something or other and calling him a troll, so wondered if anyone caught it!
Sam also tweeted this
