Nobody likely to come in

I'd heard 17k a week for Naysmith. Add that to Beattie's 40k a week and you've got just shy of £3m a year on two Everton rejects who we didn't need.

No wonder we're in the shit now.

Read his statements in the accounts Boo. There's a couple of references to us having the highest wage bill outside of parachuted clubs.

Totally agree that Naysmith makes a vast difference, but taking him and Killa out I still think we will have loads of players on well above CCC average.

So there you go making assumptions instead of reading and understanding what he said.
How many clubs are on parachute payments?

They last for two years after relegation, don't they? So 6 max, I suppose.

So as Brum went staight back up we may have the 6th but did they take in to account high spenders like QPR,Forest?

The point I'm trying make Boo is that McCabe is quite happy to tell us we have a very significant advantage over the vast majority of teams.

At the same time you have Blackwell constantly moaning about a lack of funds.

I side with McCabe on this one - Blackwell has had a very good budget for a CCC team with no parachute.

It cannot be good for a football club to have a chairman and manager with what I feel are conflicting agendas

The point Mc Cabe was making was that the wage bill needed to be reduced.
He was not stating we have a very good buget in place that will allow us to compete( although that may have been a desire).

The thing with McCabe is he never says anything anyway. He uses words like "significant" or "substantial" which are open to individual interpretation. Hence you and Mic can probably listen to the same interview and draw completely opposite conclusions.

I believe he was trying to say that we had the biggest wage bill and this has been reduced to a still huge budget, relative to at east 75% of other clubs in the tier.

I know what you're saying Boo though, fair enough.

True fella, but Blackwell HAS inherited players who are being paid well above their worth. We can criticise him for a good few things, but not getting good value relative to the wages being paid out isn't one of them. Not that we do get value for what we pay out, more that it's a problem created from the premiership and exacerbated by Robson.

i heard 17k naysmith, 28k (plus goal bonuses) for beattie but astoundingly.... and partly the reason he had to go, 100% payout on halfords wage was also 28k a week
