This just shows how stupid footballers pay is. I am fortunate i get what i think is a good wage clearing around 4K per month. I am not set up for life but i am relatively comfortable. If i earned 4 times what i do then i would be pretty secure for life unless i spent stupidly. Anyway whats wrong with him having a sports shop or newsagents when he retires. the good old days !

Tell your Pimp you want a pay rise

[Andy67]

They all pay into an excellent pension scheme. We are not saying 10 grand a year.

 

[Andy67]

If you think Duffy was on 4 grand you are living in cloud cuckoo land. Birmingham, us for 2 years in championship and bonus for promotion but that goal was worth every penny.

From what I heard he is on around 15k a week at the moment plus whatever one off bonus he got with promotion.

 

[Boxer Blade]

The more you earn the more you spend in 99% of cases, he like a lot of people may have to cut his cloth at some point, wether you earn 25k or 250k a year however if he has had but more importantly listened to good advice which I am sure he has had he should be OK for the rest of his life

 

[KoppedOff]

Apparently we are in for both Matty Phillips and Kalvin Phillips.

Which ever one comes in first but I don't see why we can't sign both of them.

Just thrashing out a deal with Leslie. Then they’ll all be announced together; our own version of the Rod/Ray/Danny Wallace brothers.

Thing is, we never wanted to sell him, nor do we need to. And now it doesn't look like we will be selling him, either (fingers crossed).

Of course, if he's been distracted by PL interest which will not now be fulfilled, then that is unfortunate. But it is not something we caused, since we were never touting him around in the first place (quite the opposite, in fact).

So in the absence of some last-minute knock-out bid, the only thing which remains is for the player to accept that there is no point in sulking any more.

Rather the best way for him to get his dream move to the PL will be by knuckling down and scoring as many goals for us as he can, at least until January.

And if he does, who knows, he might even get to the PL with us?

Every single player on our books is expected to leave one way or another - we're fucking Brentford after all, not fucking Barcelona.

The only question is whether they leave on terms acceptable to us and thus far, NM/his agent haven't managed to pull off a deal that is, so he stays.

But if/when we should decide the time is right for him to go, for whatever reason, then we will be open to offers, as usual.

Please accept this in the spirit of brotherly love......but boy, you do rattle on mate. He's gone, now pocket the money and move on. I hope the forthcoming season is a good one for you.

 

[Rodders]

Really? 1m would set me up for life easily. It would pay my mortgage off and it still have well over 800k to spare. invest 500k wisely to get around 12k per year interest and piss the rest away.

You're expecting a top end footballer to live in a £200k house and live on 1k a month for spending money?

 

[BLADES1988]

You're expecting a top end footballer to live in a £200k house and live on 1k a month for spending money?

When they retire, yeah.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Why should it?

Think of it another way, disposable would be 1m over those 10 years, that's without spending a single penny of it on food etc.

1m wouldn't set me up for life at 33.

He will get his PFA pension when he retires, not saying it would keep him in the life he has been accustomed too but it will help.

 

[blademark]

Just for context, the average UK salary is about £29k, and over a 50 years working life that would be around £1.5m. So, to get around £2m in 10 years should at least take away the worry of having to work again. Just the pension from that income would be huge at normal retirement age.

1 - you're not taking any tax into account there.
2 - You're not taking into account spending
3 - You're not taking into account inflation
4 - You're not taking into account relative living costs. Someone earning 30k doesn't spend the same as someone earning 200k

You're way off the mark if you think Duffy will be in a position to retire and never work again.

 

[Kev Gee]

If you earn half a million a year then I guess you wouldnt be driving round in a Corsa or wear Primark jeans.

The more you earn the more you spend....

Mo money mo problems

Also heard Duffy is going and it was he himself demanding better terms, nothing to do with his agent. His agent didn't even know he had spoken to Wilder until after it all kicked off.

A shame if this is true and he will be leaving on bad terms.

I am sure Richard Cadette will be able to confirm this or not.

Are you saying that when you get £200k a year you're somehow compelled to spend it until you have the equivalent spending power of someone who only earns £30k a year?

Maybe, but I'm not confusing him with a multi million Premier player either. His spending levels should be relatively modest, to suit his relatively modest previous income. I'm also not taking into account any future earnings after he finishes playing, or any income from his Wife etc.
Bottom line is a lot of people wish they were in his position.

I'm with you on this ScMc. I'm sure Duffy has lived a comfortable life with a decent level of disposable income throughout his career but from the very rough assumptions over his accumulated income, I would be surprised if he has saved/invested enough to ensure he doesn't have to work again, unless he has either squirreled away every possible penny or struck lucky with investments.

Re: the other considerations you listed, don't forget about his agent (~15%?) and petrol money to JOC

I'm saying someone who earns 200k a year spends more than someone who earns 30k.

Is someone suggesting we have an obligation to put him in such a position?

Let's just hope he's wise enough to know the value of money.

Read the thread Pinchers. I'm saying I don't blame him trying to ask for more as he's at the end of his shelf life and trying to maximise the income potential he has. Spending the majority of his career at lg1 and below he won't be as comfortable financially as most of his colleagues.

Unfortunately for him it's not going to happen.

I couldn’t be bothered mate. Bit short of time but noticed the latter exchanges. I don’t blame him for asking either. It’s the hint of entitlement that troubles me. The club decides whether and when to offer a renewal of contract, not the player. If Duffy wants to have a tantrum and leave, that’s his prerogative too, but he doesn’t deserve any sympathy. He has a year left on his contract. Nobody is throwing him out. He has no moral high ground here at all.

 

[Davalon]

I've no idea what Duffy's finances are but whilst many of us often live to our means, in this day and age footballers have advice and people to do things for them that they didn't used to.

Duffy's earnings have no doubt increased notably in recent years compared to most of his career.

If he's not made the most of that saving/investing wise he's a fucking idiot.

That's not to say he can afford to do fuck all for the next 40 years but then again it never ceases to amaze me that some think a footballer is fucked at 35 because he can't play professional football any more.
