An extra £500,000 a year is a lot of money over a contract, especially when you've experienced a bad injury

This season is going to be so interesting.
If City can do what they say they can, and stretch the shelf-life of individuals for a season, then it may be a cracker.

Not in my opinion and the club were totally right not to offer him wages on par with Wright, Simms, MVE and Co... despite what that dork Dawkins thinks.

What was he offered at City ?

Personally think he probably would if he could get his head down. Prefer him in that position to Palmer and I've not really seen Rudoni play much to assess.
Overall though I think the squad feels in a much better place to lose someone like O'Hare than if it was last summer

Leeds are going to be the one to watch and where they're going in the league.
Last year must of hurt them bad not getting promoted. Think we will see the repercussions for them this year.
Just bought back their stadium as well. Can't be much cash floating around I would of thought.

Elland Road: Leeds United take ownership of stadium for first time since 2004
Leeds United take ownership of their Elland Road home, 20 years after it was sold when the club was in financial difficulty.

They keep 'taking' people on, but they can't sign anyone until the takeover goes through, at the moment they're broke so why would anyone think of going there??
Promise of money tomorrow is just that, a promise not a guarantee.

They will need a massive rebuild, Summerville, Gnonto, Kamara & Rutter all likely off.
Obviously they have the draw to get in quality replacements but that's a lot of players to bed in and hope click quickly

He has well a truly fucked it.
Lesson to all young players not to listen to their agents too much.
I hope when we play them next March he is sat on the bench and they are in mid table while we spank them on a push for autos and loudly chant "Callum O'Hare, this could have been you" and he hates every second of it.

They have taken out a loan to be able to fund transfers until the t/o is complete. Remember, they have parachute payments also.
They'll get money in from sales too.

Am I being incredibly stupid today or something but why is that not 4/1?

Because I'm wrong and it's actually 9/2

Never seen 4/1 quoted as 8/2 before. Best promotion odds are 11/2.

You swine!
I haven't trawled through all the pages so don't know if its been mentioned.
Clive on on CWR sport at 6 a week or so ago said he heard Cal had a deal in place with Blues that went belly up when they were relegated. Big wages promised.
So, in comparison, he has done OK with Sheffield Utd
Just my take but maybe the injury shook him and he no longer backs himself to make it in PL. So he is looking to maximise a short career at a level he is comfortable. And there is nothing wrong with that.

this seems like the sort of thing you look back on as a really bad idea when a takeover collapses

I have left this stuff up from last season and fixed the glaring error in the last chart.
Well worth a look if you've missed it.
The Super Duper Ratings Thread
A few doodles to see if there are any patterns in the data. First off, the Glicko-2 representation of the league based on team strength rather than 3pts for win, and 1pt for a draw. Glicko-2 has Ipswich Town as the strongest team but Leicester City scored more league points to tip it. A...
And just in case Basil wondered what's it all about.
I believe it's the next step up from what's talked about in the paper below.

I’ve heard Villarreal is a bit shit in the winter so Sheffield is a much better shout

Skybet are actually the shortest. 11/2 with Betfair and Paddy Power , 5/1 with many others

You can also add on a very hefty signing on fee, and no doubt a nice big bonus if they achieve promotion.
If its true that we could of secured his services for £20k a week then I think we've missed out on a player with proven quality at this level. £20k a week is £3million over a 3 year contract. When you consider what we paid for the likes of Kitching (just 1 example) and add his wages on top then O'hare would of been good value imo. We also paid £4.5million for EMC (plus wages) who is unproven at this level.

Let’s move on. He’s no longer our player. I thank him for his service, but hope he’s a flop from this point forward.

If he does end up at Sheffield United Wilder will ensure that happens.
