Lotus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 6 hours ago, Froggy said: Which is correct, as reported by many reputable sources. Rooney's exact words when talking about this last week were, "We use to get pay cuts when we didn't get Champions League – you'd get 25% of your salary taken away if you didn't finish in the Champions League places - every player, the manager, players, coaches." He must just be making it up for shits and giggles. Laurie Whitwell and Andy Mitten must just report it for shits and giggles. I want you to think about this logically.....if, for 2 years running Manu don't get into the CL those players with that clause will be on just over half their salary. Do you think the agents who get commissions on this sort of thing are soooooooo desperate for their clients to play for you they're happy to take such a hit to the pocket? A 25% bonus for qualifying which is then (obvs) not given for failure to qualify is understandable. But compound losses? Player on £100k (p/w) Manu miss CL Now on £75k Manu miss out again the following year Now on £56k It's not the whole squad's fault for not qualifying. What if you're only a minor squad member? What if the club appoints managers that aren't good enough? What if the club splurges loads of cash on a load of duds? Suddenly a player who had no influence over that is on less than a Wolves reserve. Given how money mad the agents are, I can't see it. It's all to financially orientated now.

I've said countless times before I don't know the ins and outs of the clause. I'm only going by what is reported by both our tier 1 journalists and ex-players. I'm sure it's a lot more nuanced than what we're led to believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't look like he lacks self belief, just a combo of poor fitness and not being a good fit for our style at the moment. Both can change.

nufcjmc Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) He wanted to come here so desperately and I am sure inside he is annoyed at himself he cant show his quality just we haven't really see it not getting a game or minutes at this point set backs or not is concerning. He might be our no. 9 in terms of shirt number but could we maybe try him on the wing where he used to play as an option as Barnes scoring form at least has dipped and Murphy/Elanga are not exactly making a case to make their position their own. I appreciate its not where he signed up for but just to see minutes and some confidence building. Edited March 5 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
