Boro thread

[DBStar]

Best team up there at the minute. However the play offs are awful and yes you get kicked to bits against the awful f***ing lions

The playoffs are going to be grim if Millwall get in there. Luton are the same but more skillful. That said, a Millwall/Luton final is a fun possibility with carnage guaranteed on and off the pitch.

Boro's wage bill was £28m last season? -ok then, have you seen what premier league wages are like for that season? to give you a hint miles more than £28m!

Newly promoted Norwich that season, finished bottom. Wage bill for that year? £118m. Up from £67m the year before in the championship.

Second bottom Burnley - £86m. Brentford - £68m.

I could go on - google it.

Yeah but Boro are paying PL wages at £28m. You are talking rubbish man.

This is the worst strawman on this forum for some months.

Interesting Paddy McNair fact : Paddy McNair makes a financial loss by playing for Boro.

In what sense does he make a loss? Do you mean he could earn more elsewhere? Do you mean he is paying Boro to play? I assume he is a Boro player receiving a wage so how is he making a loss?

Paddy McNair doesn't do push ups. He pushes the earth down.

Wev is rattled again, gives it the biggun but continues to be seen running off tail between his legs.
Just give up fella, stay on your poxy fmttm board

Stretch is saying someone is rattled again. His go to statement when he can't think of a reply

This is the worst strawman on this forum for some months.

Incorrect. He said Boro pay PL wages. We clearly don't.

Deliberate misinterpretation. Your postings are too intelligent and coherent for it to be accidental. He didn't say your entire wage bill matched a PL team as you are attempting to imply.

He specifically used the £30m wages to say we pay PL wages. I pointed out the bottom of the PL pay more than double that. It's really is very clear. Nothing straw man about it.

I mean let's have it right when someone is referred to as a big spender in football it is usually in reference to how much they spend on transfer fees.

This is all irrelevant however to what you were talking about, which was Boro paying PL wages to the likes of Akpom. For arguements sake, if Akpom is our highest paid player on 20k then we clearly don't pay PL wages. The likes of Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham will pay far more to their highest paid players.

Let's have it right? Did you have a bit part in the football factory?

Your position in the league is where you SHOULD be.
All teams get injuries - we've had our best (imo) defender out for a while - we don't moan that we'd be higher in table if he was playing.
The season is over 46 matches - your club should have prepared your squad with this in mind.
Excuses mean nowt - you're where you are cos that's where you deserve to be.

We've had our best defender out too for about 3 months of the season.

You've used a trash article. I've actually used your latest accounts

So do you pay more wages than Safc, Luton, Blackburn, Coventry or Millwall?

The answer is yes but you want act like your overachieving man

For the record your spending 13m a year more on wages than Luton who are above you

 

[Sven]

I'd rather play you than you play Coventry as well.

Fair

 

[wev17]

You've used a trash article. I've actually used your latest accounts

As I did, on top of the article

So do you pay more wages than Safc, Luton, Blackburn, Coventry or Millwall?

And less than Sheff Utd, Watford, Norwich etc.

The answer is yes but you want act like your overachieving man

For the record your spending 13m a year more on wages than Luton who are above you

And we are above Watford and Norwich? Anyway, all irrelevant points to if we pay PL wages - which we clearly don't. You are wrong, get over it.

This years accounts haven't been released so you haven't

Well you do pay premiership wages cross referencing clubs recieving parachute payments proves nothing.

You pay a big increase on what championship clubs pay in wages and fees who don't receive parachute payments so you aren't paying championship wages.

But apparently it's magic money because wages don't count

Think two things can be true at once. If Stewart (and Ballard) had been fit all season, we'd likely be in the play offs.

But at the same time, we are where we deserve to be (challenging for play offs) given the lack of depth up front, though it is also unlucky for your best player to be injured for most of the season.

I think a game between our first strength 11s would be very close (I'd back us and I'm sure many Boro fans would back them) but over the season Boro are higher up given their strength in depth.

Boro are paying in full, Archers 30k pw wages

Chuck Norris taught him that trick.

I am relating to them Premier league clubs (lower ones) which we clearly don't pay as much wages as. You said we do. We don't. It is very simple.

This years accounts haven't been released so you haven't

You are using last years accounts to say Boro pay PL wages this season

You pay a big increase on what championship clubs pay in wages and fees who don't receive parachute payments so you aren't paying championship wages.

What an absolute load of rubbish, You said Boro pay PL wages, this is totally different to relegated championship clubs (who also don't pay bottom end PL wages btw)

On top of that, you are actually wrong anyway, go check out the likes of Forest, Blackburn, Sheff Wed, Derby, Bristol City, Reading wage bill over the last few seasons (both without parachute payments). Forest was £37m last season!

Give up man, you have clearly thrown out a line and trying to defend it. When every single thing shows you are wrong.

You haven't got anything right. The accurate source for your accounts is last year's accounts I haven't got a crystal ball to predict what this year's are going to be but I think they'll be even higher based on you sacking a manager appointing Carrick and numerous premier league loans.

You literally said several posts you had reigned in the spending the past few seasons, spending 30m on wages suggests not.


Once Gibson has had enough you'll drop back to the lower leagues as that's your level. Just look at how much revenue the club brings in your a ticking time bomb.

Ok you don't pay premier league wages but you certainly don't pay championship wages so we'll just say you pay Middlesbrough wages as you are so pathetic to concede you spend a fortune on wages for this level. It's been nearly ten years since you were a premiership club and wages to turnover ratio is shocking.

And the accurate source for the clubs accounts that I have mentioned is last years. All show Boro don't pay PL wages.

You literally said several posts you had reigned in the spending the past few seasons, spending 30m on wages suggests not.

30m show we are no where near what PL clubs pay. Which is what you claimed.

Once Gibson has had enough you'll drop back to the lower leagues as that's your level. Just look at how much revenue the club brings in your a ticking time bomb.

Back to the lower leagues? We have spent 2 seasons in our entire history outside the top 2 divisions. We aren't a lower league club.

Ok you don't pay premier league wages

Thank you.

you certainly don't pay championship wages

So you admitted we don't pay PL wages, but now we don't pay Championship wages either

 

[stan the man]

Yep Boro are as good as up

I have a feeling that the 3rd place finisher has a horrific record of winning the playoffs
