BeloEmre Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Scott Wilson: Magpies officials, who have decided not to formally discipline Jose Enrique following his Twitter outburst on Sunday night, have already agreed a £6.5m fee for Erdinc. Oh man i love the local journos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 So "IF" he has been fined £100k as suggested and we know that players can usually only be fined a maximum of 2 weeks wages, then Jose must be on £50k a week. According to Alan Brazil this morning, he said he had been told on very good authority that Jose had been offered a 5 year contract on £50k a week which if true means that Jose is right and he has not been offered a payrise. But Steve Brenner could be guessing that the fine is £100k, based on his speculated £50k wages? The interesting thing is, I've been told by various sources that the wage cap stands a £50k a week. Didn't Enrique tweet that he was offered a new contract but no pay rise. The speculation for once, is adding up... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 2 week fine - absolutely the right move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thought 100k was a shitload of money until I read this part: "But Ashley was so angered with Enrique's rant that he immediately ordered Pards to dish out a two-week fine." Must be so hard being a footballer. Doing what you love in front of thousands/millions of fans around the world while making 100k every two weeks - if not more. Hard to feel pity for them and their contract situations to be honest. Which rather blows his tweet about the new contract out of the water as well.

Pards never said he'd offered him a pay rise, he said he's been offered one of the best deals ever offered by this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 50k a week might not be a pay rise but fck me footballers need to geta fucking grip like. Some people are getting no payrises or getting stupid meaningless rises of like 1.9 % and then being threatned with redundancy. Footballers make me sick. 100% agree with this.

I agree as well basically, we're living in times when even footballers might have to start facing reality. The reason most clubs are in such financial shit is the way they've allowed wages to get out of control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I do think 60k a week for Enrique isn't that ridiculous. He is going the have the best years in his career and how on the earth would he accept the same wages? He can easily ask for higher wages next year. If money is really the reason for not signing the contract and outburst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money is really the reason for not signing the contract and outburst. It's perfectly reasonable in the abstract, but we have a wage cap and ultimately if we're going to bother setting one at all we're going to have to be willing to enforce it.

I've never ever had one that big. I got a 3% rise last October and that was the first rise i'd had for 3 years due to the economic downturn. He needs to take a big reality check.

IMO Jose Enrique is not one of them, for the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
