The Wage Structure

[Topplayersleave]

It needs upping. Simple as that.

I’m fed up of ‘wages’ being an excuse for not signing any fucker, we have just received 12mil plus if reports are to be believed for David Brooks.

We are weaker than last season as it stands with a questionable and aging frontline and struggling for depth in defence too.
Desperate for reinforcements but everyone rumoured is supposed to be on loan (did we not learn anything in 2010?) and even then it’s ‘wages’ that are the problem.

If they’re going to upset the Apple cart - pay those deserving of more money, more money. Then you won’t upset the ‘team spirit’ by signing your Scott Hogans and Sam Gallaghers.

I’m fed up of using excuses, pay the going rate and give us half a chance this season. The negative vibe around the place right now is palpable - Portugal made it even worse. I’ve seen it all first hand.

Yes, McCabe has had a little sniff of the Championship and decided it's too rich for us

11 years ago he had a little sniff around the Premier League and decided that was too rich for us as well

Maybe in 11 years time we will be yo-yoing between League One and Two but unfortunately League One being too rich for us

Dependent on what's happening regarding the ownership of the club, we know roughly what united are set to receive for Brooks, doesn't mean any of it will definitely go back into the team, does it.

How much did I say would?

What enjoyment do you get out of (apparently) supporting United?

Apart from the fact that ten years ago he actually spent, and lost, a fortune - yes because he trusted Turry and Red Wine Robbo - spot on.

When I say spot on......

Yes an absolute fortune by our standards
We even managed to buy one good player backed up by parachute payments

“We” ???

You do know this isn’t Porktalk don’t you?

 

[Whiston Blade]

Upping the wages is option 1, a better option is to scout in Ligue 2, Eredivisie, Danish Superliga etc. Wages in the Championship and even league one are way higher than the wages at most teams in the eredivisie, Danish Superliga etc. Just needs to be more creative.

It costs money to send scouts over there and our wage budget doesn’t allow that...

They were going to book some flights with Ryanair

But after agreeing the price of the flight Ryanairs "agents" asked for £3 booking fee for a seat

United told them to fuck off and the deal is off

 

[stringer]

really? is he 'that' good?

Who?

 

[zablade]

The Wage Structure or anything in the financial plans isn’t being upped until the ownership fight is sorted out and that won’t be until well after the January transfer window.

The current squad plus a couple of possible loans are going to have to do it.

And by “IT” i mean make sure at least three teams finish below us.

He spent it. That's the point.

Upped from what? Last season? Since The "promises" made to Wilder?

Why continue pretending to be a Blades fan?? It's not like you are convincing, and seriously, why not support your own clubs forum?

 

[8lade]

Gallagher’s wages are a stumbling block

Let him go train spotting on match days then, it's done Sinclair the world of good and let's face it he's barely proven anything at the level we're at.
Same goes for Hogan.

Ho ho!

Upped to a resonable Championship level. Say Bristol City or Brentford for example.

Weren't they "upped" in the agreement presented to CW when he was informed about his transfer/wages budget?

Wait until you see his hilarious Ryanair analogy.

Can't wait pal.

If a bet365 live feed is good enough for me, it's good enough for United. Plus, there's youtube and failing that championship manager.

 

[zablade]

You tell me.

The only thing I am reasonably certain was upped were Wilders and Knills wages.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Upped to a resonable Championship level. Say Bristol Cityor Brentford for example.

the wage structure debate is about United not Bristol City. Upped from what as regards us?

 

[Harrisblade]

Is that the same Bristol City who have sold 2 of last seasons best players?

 

[Eric Cartman]

No, we didn't, I think we got a third of that, with two more staged payments to come.

All transfers work like that.

 

[Eric Cartman]

They have for a few years now fella.

and... that’s my point

 

[Grappler]

All transfers work like that.

Yep, I know, but some people seem to think that £12 million is in our club bank account

 

[Harrisblade]

You have a low opinion of CW and AK then

 

[Eric Cartman]

We can structure the payments just like the others do. That 12 million is ours to spend.

Only if the selling club want it to be that way..

I don't, I think that Kev and the prince have a swimming pool full of Krugerands into which they take turns diving (they won't go in together because they fell out).
