wormy Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Apparently it IS a "Paid as you play" contract. Well done Stoke, calling the b*stards bluff. Didn't Pulis recently come out with quotes to the effect that he would still get a base salary even if not playing? It's just significantly less than if he does play? Reckon that's more usual than getting nowt as a basic wage, btw. Remember this coming up a while back. Irritates me the way these deals get mooted as 'pay as you play' when all it really is, is a lower wage than the player is used to with a higher appearance fee. I'd honestly be surprised if there were many, if any professional footballers who genuinely didn't get paid a penny unless they set foot on the pitch.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Even when injured you'll likely still be working (probably harder than the rest of the squad) on getting back to full fitness once it's possible. His basic wage will still be quite high I would imagine, which is fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It's not like he needs the money. Should have given up years ago and done the decent thing. Edit: probably score 15 goals this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 hopefully Pulis gans loopy and makes him captain. Stoke get relegated and that little fuckwit fucks off again without muttering a word, having done nothing of note to drag them out the mire. Maybe even squander a piss-easy 1-on-1 in a vital game, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
