Let’s say you get offered a job that brings you back home to the area your family lives in, and for more money?

What ya choosing?
He was on good money but the problem lay in not having a contract that protected the club. Obviously we wanted the cheap option in case we needed to sack him. Boomerang.
 
We ended the season with a wage bill determined by the L1/2 SCMP rules. Most players will have had a 30-35% uplift on promotion; that and relegation cuts are more or less standard. And any new players will be on competitive wages. What wouldn't make sense is paying the likes of Dwight Gayle £30k a week.
What are you twittering on about now? Our wage bill is low because we have league one players on the same contracts they were on as last season and we’ve made a few signings. Predominantly those who were already here. Our wage bill is low compared to most in the division. That’s all I’m saying. You could just agree for once but that’s not you is it? You argue for the sake of it when there is no need to do so.
 
While I've given a like to your post, because I agree, after reflection, as I've posted elsewhere, there's something that rankles with me now about Alex. We may have short changed him. Who knows. I wouldn't doubt it. But on the eve of a game he's done one. He seemed forthright, straightforward, a man of integrity. Nevermind the fans, or the club, but on the eve of a game he's dropped the people he works with day in, day out, who he's been getting to buy into him. He's dropped them in it a day before a game. Whatever the rights and wrongs if his situation, that's a lack of integrity. A lack of quality as an individual.
Stoke not messing about. They want someone in quick.

He wanted an experienced CH 2 weeks ago and was still waiting

It is, and it should be and should remain so, unless you think that spending more on wages than your income is a good idea. It's not. It's crazy.

How do you know what contracts the players are on?

We know the majority have not signed new ones as yet and are therefore on the league one contracts they signed plus whatever potential uplifts they received for being promoted. It’s very very simple.

Again, him leaving stopped the Van Hecke transfer from completing yesterday. So, wed have had our centre back. Tbh cb is the position we need huge experience the least with wright and bath back there and Ballard on his 4th season of first team football
 
Imagine if there was some sort of middle ground where you can spend more to get better players, but not to the extent that it's over your turnover.
That's what UEFA are now proposing to replace the current system. Clubs will able to spend no more than 70% of their income (turnover plus transfers received) on football expenditure (basically wages plus transfers paid)
 
Some folk seem to forget that we've been a League One club for 4 seasons, without barely any revenue and still having the costs of a Premier League stadium and a cat A academy to pay for.

If rumored transfer fees are to be believed, we've done well for a club just coming up out of league one. We've spent more than the majority of clubs in the championship full stop.

End of the day, the club hasn't been in a position to throw money around and the board will be cautious about our first season in the championship, let's not forget that most sides who come up go straight back down.

so if you sign a contract on £5 a week but then get an increase of 30% it’s not the same contract is it? And our wage bill increases by around 30% therefore not the same as league one
 
Bristol City have an income of £24m and a wage bill of £30m. Do you think that's a good idea?
You’re like a dog with a bone you like! When at any point in this thread have I said that’s a good idea? All I have said is we have a wage bill lower that most in the division. And you’ve even admitted this is correct then felt the needs to put this guff on. Give it up man. FFS.

It is the same contract as one of the clauses would have stated on promotion in said contract that you would get a wage rise.

Clauses. Contracts have clauses.

What I'm saying is that for most clubs the wage bill is unsustainably high.
