Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 So begins the 'is it a negotiating position or is he really not going to sell us' fun time of the summer. I expect maximum amount of belligerent destroying of any chance we have of any positivity this summer To be fair to the horrible b******, if he genuinely wants to sell he isn't going to get a better opportunity than this. His gamble with spending has paid off, the manager is working wonders and the fans are all pulling in the same direction. It's only going downhill from here. If he does want to sell, this summer is the moment. One could argue he's played it perfectly. Kind of my thoughts as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag_in_NZ Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wonder if the players are on a “top ten” bonus, if they’re then no doubt he’ll add that to the price of the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Didn't Ashley renege on bonuses before, resulting in the whole Nolan-Barton collective kicking off? This dude has no shame. I can see him not paying the bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair, the club is worth significantly more now than it was mid-January. As much as £400m isn’t unreasonable, all things considered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wonder if the players are on a “top ten” bonus, if they’re then no doubt he’ll add that to the price of the club £4m squad bonus to stay up, £1m per position above 17th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how that works ? All the money goes into a pot and they divvy it up equal ways ? So someone like Gamez who played twice gets the same as Ritchie ? Or do they work it out on an appearance basis ? Really all Ashley is doing here is sending the greater prize money he gets for finishing higher to the players or at least a portion of it, how much do you get per spot ?

No it’s not, in my opinion. £300m is the ceiling of it’s value in it’s current state. An NUFC getting into Europe most seasons then it’s worth £400m, and we are at least £100m worth of investment away from that. Long term an NUFC winning the league, and Champions League and it would be worth £750m-£1b. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still blows my fucking mind considering each place is only worth £1.5m or less as it is Think it's more like 2 million a place this year. So effectively for every place above 17th it's a million to the players pot, a million to the club. With 16 TV games 10th should bank us £125 million total pot, with £18 million going to the players. https://www.totalsportek.com/money/premier-league-prize-money/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
