"Ian rush says if I don't drink my milk, I'll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley"
"Accrington Stanley, who are they"
"dunno, but they beat Coventry in league 2 last week"
It was Accrington Stanley's chairman, even though the pl threatened to pull funding etc as you say he's still complaining and asking for an enquiryI don't blame any young lad for taking the money. I blame the FA/FL and PL for letting it happen. Football isn't just about the PL. Seems the authorities in this country have lost sight of that though.
Edit. Can't remember which club it was, but seen a story about a chairman complaining about the PL and distribution of funds. Their response was to threaten to withdraw the funding they provide. Along those lines. Their arrogance and attitude stinks, I hope the bubble bursts.
I can't get indignant about this story and I wish the lad well should he go to Stoke. What does make me shake my head is how low we have become in the food chain of the football league over the past years. We can bitch about how it isn't fair or right but like with SISU there is absolutely nothing we can do about it that will affect the outcome.
If he is on 480 per month he will on the salary of many teenagers and if he is living at home I am sure that is fine but lets be honest at 3k a week and the chance to secure his future then its a no brainer.
I just wish we hadn't plummeted so far that we are in this position.
£3k a week and not playing at all though. It would be a backward step for any young player to join a premier league club at the moment. For Every Dele Ali there are twenty Alex Nimley's (I know there was only ever one Alex Nimley In Nicks eyes). Youngsters are starting to get better advised and are staying with their clubs longer and gaining more experience. If they are good enough they'll still get their chance in time.
There was more than one, there was the one who went in big brother.
I was told about this last week so it's definitely true, although I don't know how much he has been offered. The 18's that have been offered their pro contract have only been offered 1 year deals at £200 per week apparently, so for him not to accept the offer from stoke is pretty risky if he is being offered around £3000pw for the next couple of years. I was also told (Although I'm not sure if it is true) that Camwell only played in the last league game to up the fee Coventry would receive in compensation if he was to leave on a free.
Surely I saw a report this week stating that Pogba's agent received £41m for negotiating his transfer to Man Utd.As much as i'd like us to be playing top flight football I love the fact that we aren't in the Premier league. Its vile, rotten and bloated and I would hate to be paying to watch players going through the motions on £50k a week knowing that we'd paid their agents something similar.
I saw a handful of Accrington's games last season and yes, they would have been very capable of beating us 2-0."Ian rush says if I don't drink my milk, I'll only be good enough to play for Accrington Stanley"
"Accrington Stanley, who are they"

Yes Shmmeee we get a set fee up front and then stage payments dependant on how long we've had him etc,how many games he plays for them.Are tribunals just a flat fee or can they involve payments for games played or sell on clauses?
Seems like we get stuffed for peanuts whatever so it's worth the gamble to a PL club to hoover up talent and we get nothing. The whole system needs looking at, better for everyone is young players can learn their trade and prove themselves without having to choose between their craft and their back pocket. Really perverse incentives.
I wish I could like this twiceyep. A 3 year contract on that money and you can give yourself a good start in life even if you don't make it. Get the bullet from city and you're standing on the corner of Hearsall common dressed in a giant pizza box.
I get your point but it's risk management. For every calum Wilson there are also hundreds of Shaun Jeffers (there's probably a better example).£3k a week and not playing at all though. It would be a backward step for any young player to join a premier league club at the moment. For Every Dele Ali there are twenty Alex Nimley's (I know there was only ever one Alex Nimley In Nicks eyes).

Very highly rated. Excellent at set pieces too. Like wingy said he's very in the Stuart Pearce mould, bit of an edge to his game but sure that can be managed.I didn't realise he was that hot a prospect?
Plenty of youth players move and never make it at PL clubs but their salaries go up and they have hope of breaking into a PL team one day.
Fact is we are a L2 club and no where near being in the premiership. Can't blame him if he goes.

You will know who they are next season. They will probably put your comment up on their dressing room wall. In case you don't know they are a mid table team in league 2 gates of less than 2000 pay no transfer fees (no agents fees) and will probably give us a darn good game when we play them. If it was tongue in cheek be careful this comment might come back to haunt youWho are they?

Stop giving my job away!yep. A 3 year contract on that money and you can give yourself a good start in life even if you don't make it. Get the bullet from city and you're standing on the corner of Hearsall common dressed in a giant pizza box.
Post 56 I do post 57 don't worry about me lasted 70 years so far but A .C. have far better idea how to run a football club than our shower on one third of our attendances.
At my age I wish it was only the point I missed. Like it
Get your point zack but it's a consequence of where we are and potentially brings a question over the academy if we're not able to maximise on sales due to our position.
Just for the youngsters out there, an advert for milk in the 80s had two boys drinking milk, saying," Ian Rush says drink milk or I can play for Accrington Stanley," response - "who are they?" other boy replied,"exactly.". Hence some of the thread comments... Oh, I wish I'd posted a link to the advert!At my age I wish it was only the point I missed. Like it

True....you might need to explain who Ian Rush is
True....
Welsh lad, scored a few goals for Liverpool and Wales.
Dodgy tash!
Utter bollocks never mind the huge whooshPost 56 I do post 57 don't worry about me lasted 70 years so far but A .C. have far better idea how to run a football club than our shower on one third of our attendances.
A like for the evidence, rather than the result!Believe this ones done. Now following Stoke U23 players + Stoke accounts on Twitter which is normally the first sign of a move you can get as a fan unless you're ITK.
