Douglas is back

[SJN-Fox]

So does that mean that Ollie's gonna give him a chance too?

 

[Uncle Connolly]

How this man is still on our pay-roll is unbelievable.

Horrendously lower than Championship level.

He will be keeping the same company with most of our lot now he's back here then.

Only got 1 game while he was on loan! The sooner he retires/****s off forever the better. Mind you, you can't blame him for still picking up his pay check every week - we were stupid enough to offer him such a big contract in the first place!

 

[Disco Bob]

Pay him off, ban him from the training ground - we don't need these wankers hanging around the club.

Anyone without a future should be given the rest of the season off; we have no chance of selling them so why don't we do something about them?

Yes, that will make the team feel secure!
Douglas has turned out to be a bad signing. I certainly wouldn't suggest that he is 'given a go' in place of Fullop but, you cannot treat people in the way that you indicate and expect any morale within the squad!!

 

[OldGit]

he could help raise morale though

I think all the Craig Levein signings are out of contract this summer. So Douglas, De Vries, Maybury etc will all be gone I'm sure of it.

The wage budget will breath a huge sigh of relief at the same time!

Ridiculous.


We have a plethora of players who have no interest in the team's fortunes and no potential to play on the pitch and yet you reckon they should carry on hanging around.

Of course you can treat people in this way, people are treated in this way day in day out across different employment sectors including football.

Pay their contracts up and f*ck them off to Hinkley. Each day that we don't simply compounds our on-field problems.

Fryatt, Kisnorbo and Hume aren't.

Fryatt, Kisnorbo and Hume aren't.

Well of course.... obviously Kisnorbo and Hume signed new contracts in the past year or so.

There's no point doing that now really. It would be more sensible to at least attempt to get rid of these players in January, even if it's on frees (let's face it no one is going to pay money for Douglas and co.).

If they are still here in February then i agree that we may as well just get rid of them, but we should try to avoid having to pay them off.

There is no way that any of the dross in our squad is going before their contracts expire or being payed off (even if they find a team that will take them it'll be on much lower wages and city will have to pay the balance), we may as well bite the bullet now rather than have these players hanging around the club serving no purpose.

Thankfully.

Were life so simple!

There is no such thing as a free lunch and really there is no such thing as a free transfer. Unless we agree to pay the signing clubs wage cost for a period.

Back in reality - no one is going to sign them at all, because unless someone like Douglas is prepared to accept about the same sort of wages that the average geezer gets, then he ain't going to play no more league football.
