Augie, you’re the angriest person I know. You’d start a fucking argument in a phone box :lol:



I wasnt being angry nor aggressive but I was maybe being a little paranoid - I read it as someone on here said it (apologies BP7) and I feel lately that I am dug out on here more than most, so maybe thought this was such a case :oops: :oops: :oops:
I hope you don't take our debate as digging out. It's all meant in respectful discussion terms augie!

That’s a fucking brilliant analysis. Very well observed.

Then of course, there’s you Mantis. A contrarian, but similar to Retro, although tries to be more optimistic, yet knows that Retro’s hard bitten pessimism will be proven right.
:-P :wink:

But sacking is different to selling retro. See my points about terminations. That would involve paying up unless mutually agreed.

If clubs had an obligation to pay a sold players contract there would not be thr need to top up which occasionally happens or contract quibbles because a player would be getting there big fat old wage and a new one too.

Also if that was the case then the fact we put crap on big fat contracts and they don't want to leave wouldn't make any difference as based on augie and your take we would have to pay them that when sold anyway.

Edit you bogarde point is valid but that was about terminating. They couldn't sell him as no-one would pay him the same. If selling a player still kept the selling club liable to pay his contract then he would surely have happily moved as chavs would have paid him his contract term and his new club would have paid him whatever they agreed too.

As soon as a player is sold and signs for another club be it after a transfer request or not, as redarmy says his contract with legacy club is done.

There may be special cases where the seller has to top up the guys wages for a bit to make sure he accepts the move. Much like a loan where the loaner can only afford a portion of wages...the seller must weight up the benefit of getting rid vs the extra cost of topping up the wages. This is the issue we likely have...other clubs simply cannot afford to pay thr crap we pay dross thus the dross doesn't want to move.

Yep, some good points Mantis.

The issue with overpaying second rate players is a point that augie and I have made previously. It's a huge obstacle to selling them, regardless of paying up a contract or not and it's something we need to correct.

Um..... cough cough. Cough cough cough.

Cough.

This was on sky sports news earlier and had since seen it on twatter, bat shit Bohely we want you to stay :barscarf:

Combined years of players' contracts remaining for Premier League clubs:

1). Chelsea - 191 years
2). Tottenham - 97 years
3). Brighton- 96 years
4). Wolves - 83 years
5). Man Utd - 82 years

Just to play Devil's advocate, I find it hard to believe that Boehly and his partners are that stupid. You don't acquire that huge level of wealth by being an utter idiot.
You are aware of the persons called Donald Trump and Elon Musk....? :lol:

You’re my guilty pleasure on here, you know that babes :wink:

That Ricky Gervais gag about the person who walks into the town square and sees a notice for guitar lessons and then shakes their first and says “ but I don’t fucking want guitar lessons”.

That was you wasn’t it?

Anywho back on topic, has Eddie fucked off yet.

Seen back page of two papers this morning and one was going on about a clearout at chavland, and the other was going on about a clearout at manure and all the money these clearouts was going to bring in - absolute nonsense. As we at AFC know only too well, wanting to get rid of overpaid underachieving players is only one part of the issue cos you need to find clubs willing to take them on and pay them, and you have to get the players to agree to go. We had to pay our duds to go, and no doubt the same will be necessary at those two shit-holes, and especially at the chavs when many of those duds are on long term deals.
