JH Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Barton chose "Here's three years" over "fuck off, you're not getting a contract". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Barton should have had a new deal tied down before QPR got the chance to offer him £80k, so yes, I will blame the board for that. Funny how McKay was saying at the start of this whole thing that the stumbling block was contract length, then here we see Barton join QPR on the same length contract we offered. Feck all to do with a payrise of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Desperate times Dave, they're dying for players with few days to go. the money thing again ,i wonder how many 1st team players the club needed to sell to make some finally realize that it's not the player's fault that they leaving the club Even if every current squad member were to be sold and we were left with only Terry McDermott's fetus, Alan Smith and Graham Carr's sexually confused son, there would still be those avoiding blaming the two shitbags in charge. Why would Barton join QPR if not for money? Their wildly ambitious signings that have made us "green with envy" © Mackems. The told class players they already have in their squad? World class manager? He wouldn't be working for wankers? How often do you think he actually interacts with them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If you had a job where you were well paid, and only had a year left on your contract that wasn't getting extended. Would you not jump ship if someone bettered your wage and offered you 3 years? He could stay till the end of the season, but his stock his high right now, and anything can happen in football in a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Interesting that we seemingly have a lower wage ceiling than Queens Park Rangers.

TRon Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Interesting that we seemingly have a lower wage ceiling than Queens Park Rangers. Maybe QPR have a Fat Fred wage structure where they pay a couple of players daft wages, the rest chicken feed and take out loans to pay the rest.

Stu Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Interesting that we seemingly have a lower wage ceiling than Queens Park Rangers. They're in exactly the same position that we were when Ashley took over: new owner, lots of cash lying around, feel-good factor. I doubt their wage bill is all that bearing in mind they've hardly been signing international players while down in the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on Gosling/Marveaux then, which is fine, but it just means that the squad depth is reduced yet again and with Marveaux's injury history it's a bit risky.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Interesting that we seemingly have a lower wage ceiling than Queens Park Rangers. That how Leeds got in the troubles they did by offering stupid wages, mind you having a rich owner erases that to some extent. I thought these new FIFA/UEFA rules on wages to turnover were supposesd to eradicate this madness on wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have a couple of drinks and go psycho on a lad in the middle of Liverpool. He could lose his cool on the pitch and get done by the FA for hitting another player. Christ, he could even lose form and have a particularly poor run of games where the QPR supporters are wondering why on earth they even signed him in the first place.

Cajun Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Interesting that we seemingly have a lower wage ceiling than Queens Park Rangers.

Barton - Left for a much bigger wage than he merits Keegan - The club were proven wrong here Shearer - Contract was up, he hadn't exactly shown signs of being much of a manager to get us up, don't see an issue here. Nolan - Left for a much bigger wage and length contract than he merits. Carroll - We got a lot more than his market value, he got a massive payrise, joined a bigger club. Enrique - Wouldn't sign new contract, joined a bigger club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
