He's playing in a higher league
Getting paid over five times the amount he was being paid here
We get at least £2m for a striker who could've potentially been a one season wonder
That was reinvested in the team to bring in a quality spine to enable us to challenge at the top of the table
Everyone's a winner.

amended for you
Everyone's a winner? I do hope that was a joke?
That's an entirely different point to what was said.
We got more than enough money for a L1 player who may have only been a one season wonder.
I don't understand how we are a winner from the wilson sale? Remind me how many goals we have scored this season compared to the same time last season. I think wilson by now had scored more goals then our entire team this season.

It could've been so so different, that's the point I'm making.
Obviously in hindsight I'd have loved to have kept him here. But was there a guarantee of that? Of course not.
As quinny said, no ambition for the club selling a 20 goals a season striker. Clearly they sold wilson to cover the loss of leaving the Ricoh. If we have any chance of getting out of this league we need to keep our best players. Otherwise will be a mid table league 1 club for many more seasons
If he'd not found his form like he did the fans (I'd guarantee) would be moaning that he wasn't sold. SISU can't win can they.
I'm sorry but we had to sell him. If he was a proven striker then yeah I could understand but for someone who's under the age of 24 it was too risky to keep himhere. Likewise I wouldn't be happy to match what Bournemouth would've offered as that is ludicrous.

Am I the only one thinking £83k a year in effectively your first year in the job is ridiculous?
he is now on £468k a year, crazy isnt it
Unless they are on International duty! they miss the Crewe game in OctoberWas that the Royal 'We' ?? Still very early days but going to be interesting { soul destroying } to see just how SISU's reinvestment pans out !
On a more positive note I still think that any success this side could achieve will rest heavily on Nouble and Johnson.........that certainly showed on Saturday and they won't be missing every week.
Footballs fucked. You'd earn less running a national institution.
He wouldn't have been offered anything by Bournemouth if we weren't trying to sell him, that's a bit of a red herring.
No. 83k a year playing football in the third tier no matter what your level of experience is ridiculous.Am I the only one thinking £83k a year in effectively your first year in the job is ridiculous?

As for one season wonder - he has already made a good start to his Bournmouth career so i think there is more to come from the lad.
not bad for kicking a bag of wind around a field....

Indeed....especially as that £83K was probably only his "basic" wage....
Add on appearance bonus, goal bonuses & sponsorship deals/cars etc. & he would easily be in the region of £150K per year.....

Just a back of the fag packet calculation, but I was wondering what wages should be if ticket prices were reasonable (say £10 adults £5 concessions) and supported the entire year wage budget.
Take an average gate of 10k to make the maths easy and an average ticket cost of £4 to be conservative. That £40k x 23 games = £920k a year. Divide that by say 20 players and you're looking at an average of £46k a year (just under £900/week) and that's on a fairly large attendance for this league. Most teams would be close to half that.
Then TV and sponsorship money goes to paying the rest of the clubs costs.
Shows how far off we are from sustainable as a game.
Drivel.and hence why CCFC get 10K paying £22 a game and not 30K paying £10.

True, but most people dont spend their entire youth focused on just one thing, once the potential is spotted they are focused solely on that and everything else suffers, when everyday jo is just getting into his career IDK say 18-22 most footballers have invested 10yrs+ of their life to their career for very little return. The wages are whacked as it stands but how many normal people would put so much in that early for little return?I don't buy into all that short career clap trap either, not many people in the real world have a job for life do they ?
