Riley isn’t ready for league football. Shows the farce that is U23 Premiership football. He should have gone out on loan earlier to gain experience, now at his age it may be too late. The fact that he, Breunker etc were/are on £2k+ a week showed how “he” really did know football.
Alex Jones is made of glass, so getting someone to take over his full contract will be tough, given he is out of contract at the end of the year, it may be a loan/extended trial until the end of the season to prove himself. Easy pay off, so he can spend the spring in Dubai on Insta.
Josh Wright..,I fear we are stuck with this excuse for a footballer for some time. We will be paying him to stay in Essex & have his highlights done.
Reeves...who knows if he is still breathing.
McCartan, tell Lincoln to buy/take over full contract or bring him back.
Gibson, latest excuse is he can’t get fit enough..how many more chances does this kid need? Is it a lifestyle issue or attitude? Bin off with Omari Patrick & Tyrell Robinson.

The players will be willing to take a pay cut. It’s in their interest, especially Riley as he is so young.
If they don’t take a pay cut and agree a sensible payout from us they will not be playing football for 18 month. When there contract is up no one will touch them. -

Yes everyone at the club is on £4k+ a week. We have an £8 million wage budget didn't you know !!

No idea.
But I'd wager that moving on Bruenker, Riley, Wright, Jones, Peters, Brown and letting Henry go, should free up enough to bring 2-3 quality players in as well as having some left over to bring our outgoings more into a reasonable line.Stop hovering to collapse...

It then gives the player time to obtain alternative contract elsewhere, either making up the remaining they would have left on a contract (6 months in Jones' case) or potentially more.Bronco likes this. -
For the record when we were discussing the situation with wages back in Oct/Nov and I did some research these are the figures I came across for wages (And expiry dates for contracts). Most are double or triple sourced but some of the lower ones are single sourced
Player. Wage p/w Expiry Eoin Doyle £5000 30/06/2020 Sean Scannell £5000 30/06/2020 David Ball £3400 31/05/2019 Jack Payne £3000 31/05/2019 Joe Riley £3000 30/06/2020 Ryan McGowan £2500 30/06/2019 Jake Reeves £2500 30/06/2020 Nathaniel Knight-Percival £2500 30/06/2019 Hope Akpan £2500 30/06/2020 Anthony O'Connor £2200 30/06/2021 Josh Wright £2000 30/06/2020 Kelvin Mellor £2000 30/06/2020 Alex Jones £2000 30/06/2019 Richard O'Donnell £2000 30/06/2020 Jim O'Brien £1600 31/12/2018 George Miller £1500 31/05/2019 Adam Chicksen £1500 30/06/2019 Ben Wilson £1200 30/06/2020 Lewis O'Brien £1000 31/05/2019 Tyrell Robinson £1000 30/06/2020 Kai Brünker £800 30/06/2019 Connor Wood £600 30/06/2021 Jordan Gibson £600 30/06/2020 Danny Devine £600 30/06/2019 Thomas Isherwood £500 30/06/2020 Luca Colville £450 30/06/2019 Sherwin Seedorf £400 14/01/2019 Ellis Hudson £350 30/06/2019 Cameron Hawkes £300 30/06/2019 Callum Gunner £300 30/06/2019 Reece Powell £250 30/06/2019 George Sykes-Kenworthy £250 30/06/2020 Tom Clare £250 30/06/2019 Kielen Adams £110 30/06/2019 Jake Maltby £110 30/06/2019 £53270
There is a quote from one of your ex board members that I cant find right now saying that turnover at the club ranges from £4.5mill a year to £7mill. At 60% of turnover that means your wage budget is between £52k a week and £80k. This year I would imagine with no cup run your turnover is on to be nearer £4.5mill than £7mill
The figures are obviously just ballpark and I believe they all lack bonuses (I'm not sure how bonuses figure into the caps) but it gives a rough idea of the possible savingsStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Bradford End likes this. -
Also with Riley he was starting to reach that point where a loan may be considered when LVG was at the club who was willing to give youngsters some game time which no doubt complicated mattersStop hovering to collapse...

Saying something to appeal to people does not actually equate to tangible and quantifiable activity, especially if it is through an opaque system.
I think you or others have remarked that only City and one other League 1 club has not made public/published full accounts!
Frankly I am not in the know, but given comments about the average wages of footballers, which has been sourced on BT, then it would seem to fit.Bronco likes this. -

Its probably about as accurate as you can get without being employed by the club in a position that lets you see every single contractStop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Pineapple Salesman likes this.
