Disco Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Falcao rarely (apart from that 1 recently) takes FKs, the rest all do. I imagine it skews the figures a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/8352299 Boss Harry Redknapp launches scathing attack on wages at QPR Asked about his plans for the January transfer window, Redknapp said: "I don't want to spend their (the club's) money, to be honest with you. "There are a lot of players at this club who earn far too much money for what they are; far, far, far too much money for their ability and what they give to the club. "I don't really want to see the owners have their pants taken down like they have in the past. There's a lot of agents made money out of them. "I fined a player last week and he was earning more than any player earned at Tottenham. "You shouldn't be paying massive wages when you've got a stadium that holds 18,000 people. Redknapp also confirmed that full-back Bosingwa had been fined a fortnight's wages after refusing to sit on the bench for last weekend's 2-1 victory over Fulham. "He has been fined two weeks' wages, £130,000. Not too bad for two weeks, decent isn't it? Not too bad for playing on a Saturday, it's okay." Asked how he might handle a player like that, Redknapp said: "We'll find out in January." :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Boswinga is on 65k a week . It's the owners fault they put those players on those wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Harry is f***ing gutted. He wanted to get wheeling and dealing only to find that, well, he can't. Wages are far too high, squad is far too bloated. Is this Harry Redknapp's worst nightmare? He's arrived at a club in the condition that he usually leaves clubs.

True, but Fernandes has enough money to roll the dice in January. I think this we ain't got money is a bit of a bluff so his transfer record will look better, keep prices in check, while being active in getting the higher earners off the books. He's playing transfer games before the window is even open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the details of this? I know it's more than in previous years, but how much more are we talking here? Think it goes up between 30%-50%. Though I think BT's coverage will end up going down the drain like the Setanta deal. Ridiculous amount they've paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's more than in previous years, but how much more are we talking here? http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jun/13/premier-league-tv-rights-3-billion-sky-bt The landscape of British broadcasting has shifted dramatically after BT bought a large slice of televised football rights, boosting the Premier League's next TV deal to a record £3bn over three years, a 71% increase. This equates to at least £14m more per year for each football club, with the bottom team in the league from 2013-14 onwards likely to receive more than the £60.6m Manchester City earned this year for ending the season as champions.
