Obviously if you wanted to implement the "fair" aspect of it you'd set the amount to the same value for everyone. It is a club wage cap system. Caps on individual salaries would be more of an issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've proposed before you just have an overall wage cap rather than an individual cap. Think there was still people suggesting there'd be push back on that. But seems to me that's sorta what's been brought in by the back door a bit anyway. The unfairness being of course that the cap isn't the same for everyone.

Will be an important Summer for us I want to know that we've at the very least pushed like crazy for most of these, the free transfers especially. If we dawdle around again, missing out on good deals while emptying our pockets before Steve Parish for two months, I will lose my rag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Free transfers don’t exist, and I’ve little concern re who the club targets. They’ve got very few transfers wrong thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 They way things have gone, I can't see why we need a sporting director.could have saved Mitchell's wages. How can man city spend 176.1 and we spend 0 and loose 2 squad players as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years and years of Ashley ownership meant we pretty much had one bloke travelling around Europe - largely a cheap trip to France - to dig out players with sell-on potential.

TBG Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Given we need tonight to be a bear pit, I wonder if the club would consider wheeling out Mitchell before kick off and at half time. Really get the fans riled up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Nah. I believe in transparency towards fans, however things like this are subjects where it is damaging to share too much information. I don’t think you can go into too much detail about things like this without risking alerting your competitors to what you have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The importance of purposeful and meaningful communication with the lifeblood of the club, the fans, can't be downplayed, other clubs do it and do it well and so should we. Communication has dipped since Amanda Staveley left and I hope this is the first step into repairing this crucial function of club management. It also means everything on club communication and answering questions isn't put on Eddie's shoulders, when it isn't within the remit of his job as Manager. Honestly, people like this Twitter twat can walk into the North Sea for all I care. I cannot staaaaaaand this shit. And to top it off the guy thinks he's okay to tell the club what is and isn't within Eddie Howe's remit as manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The one problem I do detect is they will be downbeat and say we've got nought to spend in the summer as well. It's one of situations whereby no matter what they say at this stage it's going to be deemed as wrong/negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they might want to come out and explain it, but it's not what people want to hear, so not sure what good it will do them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
