Good point, they are usually on the nail with their news

McCabe giving Evans 10k a week wouldn't be surprising after he was previously on double that and given McCabe's slightly odd attachment to him.
He either legally (wasn't Evans taking legal action at one point?) and/or morally felt obliged to sign him and with a bigger budget in the Championship it was more feasible and less of a financial risk.
We've probably already got players on the same amount so from that point of view it isn't a big deal though some of them might think they've done a lot more this season to deserve it.
 
10k a week seems ridiculously high. Out of the current squad you'd expect only Sharp to be on that kind of wage. I'm sure others will have it in their contracts that their wages will rise following promotion, but if Evans is still coming in as one of the highest wage earners (above most of the heroes of our promotion squad) then this deal seems doubly perculiar. Evans is coming off a bang-average season, and questions remain on a) his ability to get back anywhere near where he was, and b) whether he's even capable in the Championship. We should not be paying him anything more than an average wage for the squad – he simply doesn't deserve anything more yet.

A common sense deal would be to pay Ched a basic £3K a week and pay Chesterfield a basic £100K, whatever it was BUT then attach loads of bonus incentives based in appearances, goals scored, promotion/ relegation etc payable to Ched and Chesterfield.

So regards Cheds wages, it depends? Do you quote his modest basic wage or quote his potentially high wage if he performs like a superstar?

Ched is an unusual case in football.
He could easily end up a total failure of a signing but could also easily end up a fantastic signing.
He does have the potential to be an upper Championship/ lower PL standard striker and if he performs to that level then United won't mind paying out higher wages or a higher transfer fee.

If he ends up a dud signing like some think, then he won't have cost us much. Worth a gamble to me.

Ched Evans fleecing the club he "loves". Nah, course not, totally impossible...

Anyway, regardless of this story - Liverpool have banned the Sun, Everton have banned the Sun, Sheffield United should ban the Sun.

Oh dear. You think it would be normal IF we were paying him 10k+ p/w then? I'd say it would suggest we're compensating in some way. My opinion. Sorry if that may upset some delicate flowers.

You don't believe it but if you did, something irregular must be going on?

Okayyyyy.
 
If only there was someone with legal expertise on here who could comment on the suing story....

He might even be good enough to play for Wales...

Anyone click on the Shane Duffy article too, btw?

Dear oh dear...

"I'm Shane Duffy..."

What a twat.

That whole article sums up some of the stupid tarts around that indulge those footballers for whom fidelity is beyond them.

Who takes a secret picture of someone asleep in their bed and puts it on social media just for attention and likes, even if she believes he was single.

As for Duffy, he's shown previously he can be a twat.

Don't see how that's so hard to understand. You're obviously itching for an argument. For once.

£750 per game appearance fee? Doubt it. CW stated many moons ago he was simplifying contracts at the lane - this would be one of those areas I imagine

Appearance fees are part and parcel of the game.
Every player has one....found out yesterday my lad even has one for his apprentice contract if he gets a game in the first team.

Nothing like £750...though may as well be the chance he has!!

Wow! What a reaction! Got out the wrong side of the bed and stood in the mini guzunder or summat?

Just searching online for Sheff Utd news and found the article - think it's a right load of old tosh myself - but thought it would be fun to post it on here.

Hope your day gets better!

This from the bloke who likes to congratulate piggies on our champions weekend and also in GBC.
 
Personally when I saw 10 grand a week thought it was a little high. Then thinking about it is this average wage for championship after promotion sharp, coutts, fleck,Lafferty and a few others will be on the same does anybody know what the average wage for the championship is?

But that's exactly the point. They've earnt the right to be, based on their current ability and excellent seasons – whereas we are giving Evans an opportunity at Championship level that arguably nobody else would be giving him. We are doing him a massive favour – he should not be paying more than he's worth.

This is really going to boil the piss of those who are still getting upset about him signing for £500k. Relax! It's actually £1M! :eek:

I thought the 500k people were talking about was his potential fee paid to Chesterfield. The article is talking about Evans' potential earnings from us. If he gets a two year deal at 10k then that's approx. £1m.

Seems like you're conflating two different figures. And assuming the Sun is an accurate source for anything.

I've never been able to find good info on average wages. Some places put it as low as £4k/week, but I assume that includes all your first year professionals and such that take the average down significantly. For someone expected to be in the match day squad, 10k probably isn't that much relatively speaking.
 
The Sun did this before after Ched was released from jail, saying he was going to get a 'half a million pound contract' with us straight away. The club denounced that rumour on the website the day after, of course this so called newspaper didn't give a correction or apologise.

They are obviously just trying to stir fake outrage to make a story that is already dead.

As for the deal, I have no problem if it ends up being over a million quid in total if its performance related etc
 
So those that think the deal reported in the press doesn't stack up are delicate flowers?
Those that think it does and is a good deal are delicate flowers?
Those that don't think Ched is good enough are, again, delicate flowers.

Do we have a mass out break of delicateness or has this just become the default line when you aren't able to articulate your point and convince others of your argument? :rolleyes:

Well from what I've heard (and i do get the odd snippet of info!), I'd say it was Rodleys post about the transfer fee being £100k.

The half a million quid was a figure made up from the Chessie end to appease their fans from kicking up a stink - and they need the money. Utd aren't daft, they know Chessie are skint and haven't paid silly money to them for Ched. Ched's wages aren't daft either, probably (guessing here) about a quarter of what he was on at Utd before, and will be more incentive bonus based. He performs (no pun intended) he gets financially rewarded. To me, it'd a very low financial package for a potentially very good championship player and is hardly even a gamble.

Ched's move back to the Lane has been orchestrated for a long time now by the club / McCabe.

I'm pleased that we've signed Ched but as you say and Alan Biggs said it too that the deal to sign Ched has come from the very top which leads me to think has Wilder had a say in this?! I'm assuming he wouldn't have wanted Ched signed unless he wanted him? I know a few have asked this question but McCabes obvious support for Ched makes me slightly worry re who brought Ched in.
 
I doubt anyone on here other than maybe one or two like Foxy have any accurate knowledge of the facts of the deal.

Like most I find that article extremely hard to believe but I'd be a liar if I said that little surprises me when it comes to KM's seemingly obsessive pursuit of Evans.

All any of us can hope for is that Wilder and Knill are totally in support of the move and ideally have instigated it (highly doubtful imho), and that whatever he costs us ends being worth it.
