10k would be absolute max we’d pay one of our own players, o’hare maybe to convince him, average for the rest of the squad would be sub 5k. Just don’t see the board justifying 10k on him. If it was a proven striker we were expecting 10 goals out of maybe but not a holding midwhy not? It’s roughly 160k for the rest season. It’s one game on TV.
You’re forgetting that Joy trusts Robins. He could easily convince her that he thinks James would have got us over the line. 160k is chicken feed if she’s convinced we get another season out of the championship.10k would be absolute max we’d pay one of our own players, o’hare maybe to convince him, average for the rest of the squad would be sub 5k.

Im not saying Max is better, G you know I’m with you on the Max debate. It’s a moot point anyway as we didn’t have a million quid to spend on a striker in JanuaryThe Luton guy has scored 3 in his first 9 games in the championship and 10 for Walsall in league 2 a league biamou scored 5 in in a promotion winning team
I just can’t imagine him wanting to pay that himself. 160k isn’t chicken feed in a year ofYou’re forgetting that Joy trusts Robins.

the championship is a different animal to what we lef
Where do you think this money is coming from? Leicester would just want to get a portion of his wages covered until his contract’s upHe’s on 25k at Leicester and Barnsley were paying half. Given the speed the deal was done, id be amazed if we are paying any less than £10k.
Our turnover has increased to about 10million this year in Tv money alone. There’s higher premier ship solidarity payments to go on top of that aswell. Our wage bill was around 3.5 mil last year. Let’s say that’s doubled because of promotion clauses. There’s a decent pot there on top of the carrot of the same money next yearI just can’t imagine him wanting to pay that himself. 160k isn’t chicken feed in a year of

why would Leicester take just anything? He’s liked there, they’d happily have him as back up unless someone takes a significant portion of his wages
I’m sure I read somewhere it was 3.5 last season. Aah ok - what would you estimate the bill is now?Our wage bill was £5.3 million before the promotion season

That would definitely put a few of our players on over 10k a week.Id say it has to be around £10 million
Even with increased tv money we’re losing it elsewhere due to covid. But I still don’t see that justifying the board throwing 10k around on a loan player. I can’t see him being liked at Leicester having any influence, he’s not a back up player there, and is on his way out. They wouldn’t take pennies for him but I can’t imagine we’d be paying as much as Barnsley did.Our turnover has increased to about 10million this year in Tv money alone.

That’s just TV money, our deal with Boyle sports was apparently big for the club. We had no ground costs other than rentEven with increased tv money we’re losing it elsewhere due to covid.

Even with sponsorship, it’s still an entire season without fans income and extra costs with covid. Either way I just can’t see us spending that much on a loan player. Hadn’t James played twice for Leicester in about 3 years or so?That’s just TV money, our deal with Boyle sports was apparently big for the club. We had no ground costs other than rent
my mate is a Leicester season ticket holder, I’m telling you what he said. He was first team until injury - they now have Ndidi and Praet. Said he was surprised he wasn’t there as cover. Againthe championship is a different league. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Especially as @Barnsley made out he wasthe Championship pirlo

Not really as it’s £5.3 before we signed Mcfazdean Allen Kastaneer Godden jobello Dabo to name a few in league 1
Most will have a clause to increase salaries on promotion and then you add the championship signings as well
Who told you, the postman? I hear lots of stuff about the club, doesn’t mean it’s true!I was told Fadz and Kelly had their wages nearly doubled on promotion. I guess most players would’ve had at least a 15/20% rise
Who told you, the postman? I hear lots of stuff about the club, doesn’t mean it’s true!
IWages would have risen someone else on here said they’d increased by 50%
It might be true but none of us know it as gospel. It’s pure speculation, same as how much we are paying Matty JamesWages would have risen someone else on here said they’d increased by 50%

And very few would have said Robins before he was appointed, because he'd had seasons of relative failure at Huddersfield and Scunthorpe. Likewise, what's the point in listing managers only for their records to be dissected?That’s bollocks really isn’t it. When we had Thorn and Slade most people could easily name better managers we could realistically get at the time. We got Robins after Slade who has proven to be 1000 times better
tbf, one of the curses of being a manager is that some people just won;t like you, because you'll never make decisions that please everybody.I haven't read most of this thread, there's just too much to and fro
But what I can say is that Robins (and Viveash) don't hold back when players aren't performing
Especially at HT and at the end of matches where we haven't done well
Some players respond to this, others don't - it's the same at every club
But generally speaking he keeps the hard words in house and only occasionally goes public, usually when a player doesn't have a great attitude
Of course he's not perfect and some fringe players especially might be unhappy from time to time if they are in and out of the side
What we really need is Godden and Walker fit to start
The break has probably come at the right time for us

Yeah but there comes a time where a manager has taken you as far as he could.And very few would have said Robins before he was appointed, because he'd had seasons of relative failure at Huddersfield and Scunthorpe. Likewise, what's the point in listing managers only for their records to be dissected?
To be clear, I think it's madness to get rid of Robins (punished for promotion) but, there are umpteen managers with experience, and ability. The same as if Robins chose to leave (for a better job?), we wouldn't struggle to replace him. The difficulty isn't getting a half-decent manager, it's getting the half-decent manager who's right for this club.
And tbf, that's why it's crazy to get rid of the one of those we already have...
But, why name names?

Or sacking Sillett or Black?So same allied to say Pressley?
So why are they on the bench? He might as well put Tavares on the bench if they’re not fit.
Exactly this. Why spoil five years of progress with a knee-jerk sacking when the operation was purely to surviveHave we been relegated yet? No.
What did everyone want when the season started? Just stay up.
The progress we've made under Robins in the past few years and we haven't been relegated yet. Its still in our hands.
We were always going to be in a relegation battle. At the start of the season I thought it might go down to the final day.
If we stay up, Robins has done a great job.

Yup and we're still 8/1 to go down. The doom and gloom merchants on this thread could make a fortune if they're right...Exactly this. Why spoil five years of progress with a knee-jerk sacking when the operation was purely to survive
