They are not full time pros. Their wage bill will be nothing remotely close to £1million a year at this stage. Id be surprised if it was 20% of that if im honest.

He made 1, poor, appearance for us and got canned due to terrible attitude. Has turned himself around after being released on a free by Spurs. Very surprised he has managed it, but well done to the lad!

I'm not saying we should, but that's the only way to play all of those mentioned. Sara in the hole, Sainz left, Rowe right, Nunez in CM

By dropping Barnes.

Hadn't they won 6 in a row before today?

The difference being, Man City's and West Ham's were built as the centerpiece stadiums for international events and then converted so as not to waste them. I havent seen this story in detail, but is Ratcliffe just expecting it to be built without a specific event attached? Will surely be a no go for Gov funding if so.

Exactly this. We may not want him to stay beyond the end of this season, but fully supporting him and the team until the end is a must. We have a chance to build some momentum for the next guy, hopefully Cuesta, so let's show some humility and give Wagner and the boys a real welcome this afternoon!

It depends on the player, the reason they are a free transfer and the number of offers they have. A player in their prime that lets their contract run down and leaves on a free, who has 5 offers from clubs competing to sign them will, of course, hold all the chips and will demand a high signing on fee and higher wages. A player who has declined from their peak where they signed a big contract, and is now released as they are not the player they once were (Forshaw last summer, perhaps Gibson this coming summer being 2 examples) will likely not have multiple clubs of our stature/budget competing to sign them. A free transfer will always likely manage to secure a signing fee if the club actually wants them, its what agents are there for. Forshaw was not on big wages and took a drop from his Leeds contract. He didnt have them wanting to renew at his old wages, so he didnt have the form, fitness, nor a competing offer to use to negotiate from.

6th on the list is Chinese.

I think this is the game we show some real football to add to the decent results, if not always performances, of late. 3-0 Sainz, Rowe, Sara

For about 2 years now, yea.

Whether he is sacked now or in January, the total outlay is the same, just it all goes out now if we sack him this week. But surely putting Pelach or someone already at the club, in charge has to be better. Just go back to basics for a game or 2. Doesn't cost anything extra... which is why him staying is so utterly mindless

Telegraph reporting he wants to take the QPR job after they sacked Ainsworth last night. He isn't coming here for 2 months, he had nothing to gain from that and we do not have a giant pot of money to throw at hin to give him an incentive.

Well...pre match I said Forshaw could be the answer to helping our defence. Clearly not in this system, I'm not sure a prime Fernandinho would help much as it is. Wagner must go, simply no other option.

I guess he hasn't shown enough in training yet. Senior football is a huge jump. I'm sure a couple of the you get lads will be in first team training due to the lack of fit strikers, so Wagner should be well aware of where they are at.
