Yes but the contracts they offered the above would have been league one contracts which is what the new players would be offered.
Baker strikes me as a nice bloke but a bit daft.
Maybe he was threatened with this the day he met Mr sky and vented.
Or maybe he us the OP and this is his daft way of getting it out
Maybe I am getting a little bit too excited about conspiracy theories.
I think there is some truth in it but wish it was a load of tosh.
Just hope it creates a siege mentality as oppose to instability.
My dads just got back from work. He's an engineer for SKY and fitted Carl Bakers SKY TV today. Before any of you comment, my dad has zero interest in football so there's be no reason for him to make this up. He wouldn't even know what he was talking about if he wasn't told it.
Carl told him that he may be dropped to the bench for this entire season. This is for wage reasons. Each player was asked to take a 20% wage drop, to which only 4 accepted (Carl being one of them). They have then asked all the players to give up their bonuses.
Baker told my dad that he was told that if he does not sign the new contact without the bonuses then he will be dropped to the bench for the entire season. He said he would drop the bonuses from his contact, if he were to get the 20% of his original wages back.
This is true folks.They had a meeting last Friday for over a hour trying to sort it out. If they can't they will be loaned out before the end of the month.
Sounds plausible to me, unfortunately.
This is 100 percent true I've also been told this today by a player and he has signed it. He has also been put on the transfer list and the other players have been threatened with that also, bit greedy if you ask me constidering they played there part in us getting relegated. They can't transfer list everyone so they will have to come to some sort of arrangement!
If he signed it why was he transfer listed?
Cheers dongo for the backing! I was told not to say anything on this one cus its a serious subject but now someone else has now brought it up and found the truth out so I can confirm. Just want the club to go back to how it was before
Well each to there own opinion FRY. But its the truth we have problems over the bonus of these players,and cutting costs.
It is worrying and hopefully not true but I believe it could be just the way covkingchris put it sounded stupid
For an employment law perspective I would say they could do this to a player if they wanted to quite legally
The public sector have all had cuts and freezes forced on them.
Their pensions are getting changed half way through what they signed up for.
Problem is with footballers there are plenty clubs out there willing to pay the stupid wages for a free transfer.
It's just typical SISU. We finally get a squad together, there is a cautious optimism going into the season for the first time in years.
Right before the season kicks off they do this ( and the rent ).
They really just are totally clueless and inept at running this club. Regardless of whether people feel people are over paid or what, this will destroy morale and be a hammer blow to the players motivation.
I'm not mad on this in terms of morale but it might just motivate them to get back where they've come from and earn their rise back ,Wonder If AT took his Hit?
My boss didn't! Similar situation I guess. I was told to agree to the reduction and sign it -- or else.....
