What about Luke Thomas to fill his role of endless running never scoring?
No thankyouWhat about Luke Thomas to fill his role of endless running never scoring?
That's exactly how players talk to each other when one of them gets a big offer Hobo
Especially at our level where almost all of them will have to find another job when they finish playing
What would any of us do in their shoes?
NoSo do villa have a sell on?
Of courseIts about Kelly and McFadzean not O'Hare. As for O'Hare if he goes and increases his wages that is fair enough. It is a short career.

Eccles is early 20s of course, and by no means an essential first teamer.The short career narrative made more sense when players did well to break into first teams until early 20’s and were considered past it at 31/32. That’s just not the modern way
most people have transferable skills from there jobs they start out in whereas with football it’s pretty specific.I find this “short career” narrative quite strange
Most people don’t spend their entire working life doing one job. They get promoted, they change industries, they re-train etc etc
30% apparentlySo do villa have a sell on?
As eloquent as ever Robbie
30% apparently
When greggs quotes you, you know you've asked a stupid question30% apparently
Not what I've been told. A deal his agent sorted out apparently. Was something to do with Villa not triggering his extension and a deal sorted between the 2 clubs for a hefty % of any future sale. Between 30-35%No they don’t. He left Villa once his contract expired and joined us on a free.

I heard it was closer to 45% plus a 10% fee for any other player we sell over £5milNot what I've been told. A deal his agent sorted out apparently. Was something to do with Villa not triggering his extension and a deal sorted between the 2 clubs for a hefty % of any future sale. Between 30-35%

Footballers who are lucky with injuries and look after themselves can easily have a 20 yearplaying career now. It’s not unreasonable that during that time they might have to consider what they do after they finish playing.

It’s a highly privileged 20 years with sufficient downtime to have a plan for life outside if actually playing.
It'll be his pesky agent getting involved again. I reckon we should have enough of the fee left to get a decent u23 loan player and to finish the pitches at ryton.I heard it was closer to 45% plus a 10% fee for any other player we sell over £5mil

Yes, but as I've said in another thread, it's highly unlikely that any footballer, even playing in lower leagues, goes from earning £ks or high £hundreds a week drops to National Minimum wage immediately their career ends and then scrimps and scrapes through the remainder of their working life.Of course there is life after a football career. But few offer the earning potential of a top flight footballer and that window of opportunity can be very small.
Will be gutted to see him go, he's been a complete pro and a great player for us. Replacing his dynamism and energy will be almost impossible, but I am sure Robins knows that and will change the way we play. He'll get a good reception from me at either game, that said, I don't think our fans will show quite the same sympathy to him getting 'kicked about the park' when he's not wearing Sky Blue.
I'll say it now. It anyone claps him when he plays for Burnley our place, I will throat punch them.
Remember someone clapping Andy Morrell when he scored against us, throat punched them too.
Basically, due to the last couple of seasons losses, which is understandable.Yep believer didn’t say an amount did he and just said none would be invested in fees. Is that right?
Both disgustingI clapped McSheffrey when he scored against us for Scunthorpe(?). Would prefer a sculpted ice unicorn shoved up my arse though.
How many of those return money to the people who invested and how many are just money pits?Bournemouth, Brighton, Palace, Leicester, Brentford, Norwich, Fulham, Leeds, Forest, Wolves?
A lot of our fans seem to think competent owners just pay money into clubs willy nilly as a "gamble" to the promise land. We've seen what happens to teams who do that.
So apart from various twitter rumours, nothing official yet. Certainly no bid had been accepted on Saturday afternoon as he wouldn't of played. So I take it Burnley still haven't met our valuation, or payment terms. So the rumours are that basically they expect Burnley to come back again.
He's not gone yet
LOL - Need to change that!Username doesn’t check out
If you want to make money then football ownership isn't for you.How many of those return money to the people who invested and how many are just money pits?
And how many other clubs in the championship and L1 have had millions poured into them and not gone up?
So would I . But that wasn’t my point.most people have transferable skills from there jobs they start out in whereas with football it’s pretty specific.
The point is you’ve got about 15 years on average to make your money unless you want to get a 9-5 afterwards. That’s if you don’t get a career ending injury.
I’d take tripling my wage and being set for life than staying with one club and then having to train as a financial advisor because deity on SBT says it’s possible
football league world reporting the fee is just under 9m
No idea, it’s just the first source to come out with a figure.Are they at all reliable?
