    £££ we don’t want these type of players he’s got to be in with an opportunity of league one football and he’s chasing the money like most careers Salford will end it

    Him and Langstaff.
    Are the other players on £500 a month because otherwise I don't understand how football finances work.

    Player probably signing a contract that will help set him up after football, nowt wrong with that. I guarantee you pretty much every footballer would do the same.

    He's doing what everyone else would do and going where is best for his future and his family. This gets brought up a lot but the reality is that 99% of players who've ever signed for Bradford City have done as it is the best contract for them and their family, despite what they say in their interviews crowd sizes are very low on their consideration for signing for a club. If that was the case then we wouldn't need to make a 7 figure loss every season as we wouldn't need to pay the higher wages.

    You don't pay your mortgage with "I play in front of 20,000" or "I play league 1 football". If he's got himself a pay rise and long term contract then good for him.

    I don't think Wrexham fans cared when they were in the National League and signing players like Mullin, Palmer, Tozer etc who were dropping 1 or 2 divisions to get more money.

    It’s always the same.

    “Don’t want players like that”
    “Chasing money”

    If that same player signed for us “Great signing”
    “Club showing great ambition by spending big”

    I doubt your career is as short as a footballers is. Do you really think every single player that has joined us has done it for the love of the club and not the money?

    Good luck to the lad. He's probably doubled his salary at least. He isn't the problem here.

    If they can afford it let them do it but as we know it doesn’t always work I am sure those players at Salford not getting that type of money will be thrilled. Great for team spirit

    I guess there are lots of occupations out there with ‘short careers’. Most Armed Service personnel serve under 10 years. Most firefighters serve around 25 years. So footballers who have a 20 year career are not exceptional (and they don’t have to perform in wars or fight fires).

    It's definitely not the head master m8.

    It feels more like a prefect over reaching on their authority.

    GA quoted in the T&A today that he'll make a decision on the trialists over the weekend.

    So, we should know if any are signing by early next week.
