I'm talking about going forward, trying to move him off the wage bill. Not about whether we currently pay him or not.
If you had a wage bill of £2m, would you spend £400k on Bell or in fact any player?
If we dont the PFA and their lawyers might have something to say about it
Only going by what was reported in the telegraph.
Goalkeeper Lee Burge and right-back Aaron Phillips are also expected to form part of a 25-man squad after their impressive spell on loan at Nuneaton Town last season as City halve their wage bill from last season’s £4million budget .
Hes going nowhere if he doesnt want to lets face it who else is going to give him a contract anywhere near wha hes got nowI'm talking about going forward, trying to move him off the wage bill. Not about whether we currently pay him or not.

And they would know ?

All I'm saying is I don't see how the club can both proceed with the groundshare and expect a turnover even half the level of last season.
Bell has been a disaster when you look at his injury record and the number of games he has played when fully fit. However, you do have to have a certain amount of sympathy for him, as he is a class footballer. Against Orient at home (who had to win that match, so it was not an end of season stroll), he was head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch. Like all class players, he was going past the opposition as if they weren't there. Problem is his fitness is unlikely to improve, and a payoff is the likely outcome.
You can't compare football to the real world. Not even in this case. If you are deemed surplus to requirements in the real world you are out on your arse 4 weeks later.
If he's fit then just play him - he's a talented player. Lots of players have injury spells and come through it to show they're a good player.
Steven Gerrard had all sorts of back problems limiting his appearances when he was younger.
He's not going to agree to leave for a crap wage elsewhere; so just play him. I don't believe for a second Pressley has made the decision to treat the highly paid players like this, clearly Fisher.
Another SISU cock-up in offering those terms without relegation clauses. Amateur.
