I wouldn't do it in the first place for that reason!
You never think commuting can be that bad until you start doing it!
Footballers aren't badly paid. Rent a little one bed near Ryton and stay there while leaving your family where they are now if the travel is killing you.
Brown would be one of our highest paid players and as he came here on a free would have received a decent signing on fee. Ogogo's signing on fee was rumoured to be £300k for example.League 1 and 2 footballers are on comfortable salaries but it's far from life-changing money. Renting a place in addition to paying a mortgage would still be tricky financially for a majority I would guess.
Wonder who's going to be the first person to say Ogogo gone.
It was only a couple of weeks ago people were saying what a breath of fresh air Kelly had brought to the team...
Now... generally I agree with this. I think it's often overlooked how the general running of the club impacts on performance. However, on these individual cases, I've got questions.
Why would it mean these two would be out the team, and not others?
Almost as soon as Brown came, there were rumours (maybe even from you?) that he'd fallen out with Robins. There were also rumours (again... from you? That Burge and Robins had had a blow-up early season but... Burge is still in the team, Brown gets relegated behind a 17yo in the pecking order. Whilst I can buy performances dip as minds are preoccupied that's not just a dip, that's a savage decline. I'm just wondering if in this case it's as much an excuse, as anything else. That's not to suggest off-field events have no impact, that'd be crazy, but it's not like if we were to sign a deal, Brown would suddenly turn a bit Roberto Carlos.
Burge was injured when O'Brien played.The Burge thing wasn't a fall out it was just that O'Brien was preferred and first choice going into the season. That has changed since.
Could buy two houses yourself to rent out for your retirement with the cost.League 1 and 2 footballers are on comfortable salaries but it's far from life-changing money. Renting a place in addition to paying a mortgage would still be tricky financially for a majority I would guess.

Well I think Westbrook was possibly my MOTM.
So that was a good nod.
The signings in the summer have been pretty disastrous to be honest.
Prior to Brown being on the bench on Saturday, have either been playing in the under 23's or have they been totally frozen out?
Which in turn has fuelled the rumours.No they haven't been playing at all.

Signing on fee was decent but not even half of that.
I heard 6 figures still
Enough to buy a player in League one though!!It’s like you know......
That would be payable over the length of the contract NickI heard 6 figures still

If he's sold payments still due are null and void so his contract with a new club would have to reflect that
