Disco Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I agree with the overall sentiment but to be that derisive of a bloke who has just broken a leagues scoring record and averages a goal every 114 minutes with a poorer team than the one he's moved to just because he hasn't come to the pl and is a little older is as daft as the fee (which was his release fee, Napoli wouldn't have sold otherwise IMO) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Which part? Being made redundant or his pay off? The bit which jars most, is the manner in which it was done. But also, if true, a £14k redundancy package seems disrespectful given the money involved in premiership football. Saying, that he was probably paid peanuts (relatively speaking) also. Hate it when clubs/employers, especially ones which promote a 'one big family' vibe don't reciprocate the loyalty and commitment shown to them, or even it seems treat people with basic human decency. Hope some players chip in an evening's entertainment money each, which could amount to a life changing about of money for the man. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3709468/Tony-Carr-receive-14-000-redundancy-payment-West-Ham-despite-43-years-service-earning-club-50m-profit.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The highly-respected 65-year-old has also picked up over £1.6million since 2005 and has a lucrative pension scheme provided by the club. The Hammers have been left reeling by the explosion of anger which followed news that they have made Carr redundant after 43 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Aye Canada or nowhere for 2026. It will be either Canada or China, but China will throw more money at it where as Canada's bid will be with the future of the sport growing in mind and catering to demand I.E. no mega stadiums that will have no purpose after the World Cup. Money will exchange hands and China will build mega stadium that will host crowds of only hundreds after the World Cup. Just catching up, what's this rubbish? My local team plays in a 60,000 seater stadium that's pretty much sold out for every game. Football is incredibly popular over here and the facilities they have already in place are excellent. You don't know what you're talking about (for a change). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
