Pretty much the last 8 games or so but vic was the one who had the most impact on the whole season
Pretty much the last 8 games or so but vic was the one who had the most impact on the whole seasonIf Hamer wants to stay you wrap him up in cotton wool and pay him what he wants. He's the best in this league and dragged us into the play offs single handedly in the end.
If we can’t afford £20k/wk for a player of his calibre the wage structure needs changing. If we had a team of Hamers we’d win the league at a canter. It’s not every day a player of that quality wants to stay. And if it was that would be great.
Yeah, people seem to be forgetting how it was just him for so long.Pretty much the last 8 games or so but vic was the one who had the most impact on the whole season
Thought Vik was found out a bit in the end . McNair had him in his pocket
As stated, the reluctance to offer what really isn't exactly a sizeable wage for the Championship likely proves my theory that the budget isn't going to increase by much this season. DK clearly wants to build a sustainable model whereby the overheads are more or less covered by ticketing/sponsorship/hospitality income along with player sales.
To accomplish that strategy, fundamentally the club are going to have to be strict on their wage structure. Hopefully the club shift their stance as replacing Hamer would be near on impossible, but DK's comments on how he wants to run the club makes me less than confident a deal will be struck.

Hey, I love the guy and hope we get the 20M . Just an opinion. McNair played him well.Yet he still set up the winner at Boro, and the equaliser at Wembley.... Whilst playing through an injury.
I get it, we want to downplay Vik as he's off... but lets not. He's brilliant. We're going to miss him massively
McNair is a very good player himself.Hey, I love the guy and hope we get the 20M . Just an opinion. McNair played him well.
not downplaying vik but the he up hamer against boro by miscontrolling itYet he still set up the winner at Boro, and the equaliser at Wembley.... Whilst playing through an injury.

I agree to some extent, the people that definitely know are the 3 people you mentioned.dont care who goes for dinner with who, absolutely nobody knows how likely it is Hamer stays other than Doug/Robins and Gus himself.
Dawkins plastering all his "ITK facts" all over twitter is exactly why Hamer wouldn't tell him what salary he's on and what offers he's had etc.
And with all due respect, i dont believe any of the ITK people on here either about Gus, wage offers, Waghorns wages etc
Hate close season, bring on pre season!
maybe i'm a pedant, but i've got no reason to believe anybody on here has any more of a clue than the rest of usI agree to some extent, the people that definitely know are the 3 people you mentioned.
but think it is definitely believable what is being said on here by a clear itk
I disagree. Once Hamer came back from the suspension he was the best player all along. He got more attention later on as he was scoring as well, but his all round play was exceptional right from when he came back.Pretty much the last 8 games or so but vic was the one who had the most impact on the whole season
He’s obviously very close with hamer Pete
There were matches, not just at the end when he was fairly ineffective, but surely every player has games like that. It remains to be seen how he gets on playing against top defenders every week.Thought Vik was found out a bit in the end . McNair had him in his pocket
Agree with the first bit, but there were others, including Diallo for example who were on his level.I would pay an extra £100 on my season ticket price to keep Hamer , he’s just a class above any player in this league. If it comes to it we should get the begging buckets outside the ground or online fund raise.
Wow okI disagree. Once Hamer came back from the suspension he was the best player all along. He got more attention later on as he was scoring as well, but his all round play was exceptional right from when he came back.
Losing Vic and Hamer would imo put the club in serious trouble next season, you just cannot take that amount of goal contributions out of a team in one go.As stated, the reluctance to offer what really isn't exactly a sizeable wage for the Championship likely proves my theory that the budget isn't going to increase by much this season.

because it would be a rubbish way of doing anything
He's mid level music manager John Dawkins not Brian Epstein mate, his reach is a few cov fans.
Agents will leak to the press, Hamer is big enough now that a national will write stories about him.
Bullshit account from what I can tell.
Nonsense. King has said he wants to build a squad that can compete at the top end of this league in and around the playoffs.So SISU Mk2 then. Fund a L1 squad and hope it makes it to the Prem.

I'm with everyone else that I would do everything we can to keep Hamer. But we do have to have a wage structure at the club. And we do need it to be sustainable.
Because its easy for us to say it's just 1 player and arguably our best player. But it will have a knock on effect on the wages expected fromthe rest of our current squad as well as new signings that come in.
Didn’t miss you at allHave you asked Nick nicely whether he can restore your CC84 account yet?
Can't wait to start chanting "Ooh aah wage structure" as we battle to finish 17th
Can’t say that mate - Doug King is clearly different from Sepalla in every way. Don’t think he buys handbags for a startSo SISU Mk2 then. Fund a L1 squad and hope it makes it to the Prem.
