Hendrie off to Stoke in the end

[maffyou]

Another manager I would consider would be Graham Taylor, who has enjoyed considerable success at this level with Watford, I think he could do a decent job here.

Please god, no. That would be like jumping up and down on a sinking boat.

 

[Stevie Lynex on the wing]

I don't believe Kelly will be paid off as I think the board and Kelly will be keen for him to revert to a backroom role, remember he will have built quite a bit of loyalty up after last season.

As for O'Leary, whilst he has managed at the highest level with Leeds in the Champions League, I am not convinced he is the type of manager we need at present. I would prefer a Manager who has a proven record and experience at this level, my preferred options would be :

Steve Cotterill (Although I doubt we can afford him now)
Brian Little
Joe Royle
Nigel Worthington (If and when he is sacked by Norwich)
George Graham (Might just fancy another crack back at management and would no doubt sort out the under performers)

Sacked today and now available but personally don't think he would be the right choice for us.

I am not so sure, he has a wealth of experience at this level, and on the whole did a very good job at Norwich.

Diao is off there for Liverpool.

They have got about three loan wage munchers on their books currently.

 

[pds]

Delap has gone there on loan today.
Hasn't he only recently signed for Sunderland.

 

[Hazzman]

Hendrie
Griffin
Whitley
Diao
Delap

5 players, 3 on Premier wages

5 players, 3 on Premier wages

But that doesn't mean the club they're playing for is paying all their wages.

 

[Hazzman]

But that doesn't mean the club they're playing for is paying all their wages.

A percentage though, normally 50/50.

Guessing Hendrie and Diao's basic wage is probably 5 figures per week. Then split.

So why couldn't we sign them without paying their wages?, why Stoke over Leicester?

I didn't say they were paying no wages, just that I wouldn't expect them to be paying all their wages if they're on Premiership money.

Where do you get the 'normally 50/50' thing from?

 

[Hazzman]

Where do you get the 'normally 50/50' thing from?

Well I can only expect/summarise that a Premier club expect a Championship club to pay at least half for one their professionals who is simply not in the picture at their current club.

If they were 3 things, a) a young lad needing experience b) recovering from injury, c) on a deal which sees them join the team after loan deal finished then 50/50 can be excepted at least.

Do you know otherwise?

 

[Jeff]

Do you know otherwise?

I expect each loan deal will be treated as an individual case, so I don't think there's any such thing as a 'normal' loan.
In the case of Hendrie I'd be surprised if Stoke are paying anything like half his wages, which are reported to be over £20,000 a week.

 

[Real Sharapova]

Without quoting figures ( as my boss is his agent ) we were not even paying half of Stuart Taylor's wages when he was here.
