Reid (1 Viewer)

There was mention of Turnbull and Beavon having clauses but no mention of Reid and it's been a bit quiet.

He was apparently a high earner in League 1 so I am not sure whether he will still fit in.

He might be a different player with a strong midfield and decent strikers and in L2.

I think he'd be quite decent in league 2 to be fair

I like him, on his day he's wicked, pacey with a deadeye delivery....just look at the Wembley assist!

I think its a good point though about wages...for that money surely we'd more need consistency and higher levels of fitness than we saw from Reid last year

Reid needs to go-played a couple of decent games before Wembley and that was about it. Expensive luxury we can do without.

 

[skyblue025]

Players are probably on holiday so not that surprised there has been no news on them re-signing or leaving.

I totally agree Beryl would be a good fit for us in league two

theres an arguement to say he has already had a year off

 

[ajsccfc]

I've had enough of players being shit but thinking at least they'll be alright a division down, going back 16 years and the span of four divisions now.

 

[jackdg]

I might be wrong but I'm sure when the retained list came out (not the made up one Gilbert imagined) it was announced that Reid, whilst still under contract, was free to find another club

 

[ajsccfc]

NEWS: Coventry City release nine players including Nathan Clarke, Ruben Lameiras and Marcus Tudgay

It's got him as under contract still but nothing further

 

[Nick]

Yeah it's been quiet about him.

 

[covcity4life]

not to fussed either way

if he goes wages freed up and hes inconssitent
if he stays he was quality to destroy league 2 and we can hope robins makes him more consistent

 

[steve82]

I think we should let him find a new club. Very likely to be a big earner here and we can recycle that money better in to the team.
Yes scored a wonder goal and had a great game at Wembley but offered very little otherwise. Countless times he'd receive the ball on the wing run up to his man stop and play back or inside, rarely tried to take on or get in behind the fullback.
More often Haynes offered that attacking threat even more so when he was switched to the left mid role.
Not sure if it's a confidence thing or the pace has gone or both.
I'd call it a day with him and free up his wage and get in a more suitable attacking player.

Problem is we'd be relying on another club taking over his salary.

 

[ajsccfc]

Knock up a video of his best bits of the season to send around to clubs. Added bonus, a 20-second clip doesn't take up too much file space

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Is £2000 a week good money then.
Some posters on here earn more then that.

Well over average wage for League 2.

 

[matesx]

I read somewhere average league 2 salary is only 40k pa.

I wouldn't get out of bed for that.

[matesx]

thats mental

 

[Nick]

Is a couple of years old though but just shows the massive gulf even to the Championship.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Fuck him off.

We need to make the most of the budget if we want to go up.

He was a player that contributed very little over the course of the season and was constantly missing in action when we needed him.

Do you want to join Hoffman's consortium in that case Moneybags?

I knew that would get somebody's back up! :happy:

 

[shmmeee]

Two points, one why is that a pie chart? Two, the average income is £27k not £39k. And you could argue footballer is part time which brings it down to about £22k.

With a £2000 wage packet i would let him go, but if he takes a pay cut i would keep him, Jones on about the Same.

Jones on nothing like that
He joined as an 18 year old to learn his trade
None of our young players are on big money

 

[sw88]

We took a punt on him. I For one was very disappointed. Out of the poor players we recruited, there weren't many poorer than him.

Not often I agree with Adge but he's correct on this one. One or two decent performances and on a great show at Wembley doesn't warrant keeping him for me

 

[Astute]

30 years ago you would have got change from a quid for a pint of beer. £20 was a decent day out on the pop.

IIRC 1988 was when pubs were allowed to stay open all day. No more having to be in by 2:30 and the curtains shutting. For £100 you could drink all day, eat, do the night clubs and then a taxi to wherever you were going on the sesh and still end up with money in your pocket to start again 11am.

What does £20 do these days? Walk to the pub. Spend a couple of hours there. Walk home skint. All dayer? A big chunk will go on food and taxis. If you only have £100 you will be skint before it starts to get dark.

Inflation is the key word. Yes Sky is the cause higher up. But Division 3 and 4 is mainly down to inflation.

Don't think they would be anything like that-most of them wouldn't have signed a pro contract or even been offered one yet apart from those few we know about.
