Hairy Canary 696 Posted July 22, 2019 18 minutes ago, Indy said: “City confirmed on Saturday afternoon that the Portuguese player had left on a permanent basis and it's understood that move did not involve a fee, as the final year of the striker's contract would have been worth in excess of £1million.” Interesting that that figure puts Nelson's wage at around the £20k a week mark. It does says "in excess" of £1m so would be more than that but the £30k and £40k figures that get quoted look to be wide of the mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was signed in the Championship so I doubt he was on more than £25k max. May have gone up after promotion though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,554 Posted July 22, 2019 Just Googled it, when Robbie Fowler moved from Leeds to Man City it was agreed that he would still be paid by Leeds until the end of his contract-which wasn’t ending for another 3 years! Apparently Steve Morison also carried on getting paid by Leeds after he moved to Millwall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six Pack 92 Posted July 22, 2019 It appears that Nelson was on about £20,000 per week which isn't excessive prem wages. We are looking for players to backup Pukki. You don't have to like the guy. We know he'd be hard to work with but if we are just needing people that can come on and get us goals when required (i.e. Fulham) - why not persevere with play him ? Surely Webber or someone at the club could have talked him around. Too late now ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently Steve Morison also carried on getting paid by Leeds after he moved to Millwall. Which is actually what I said, although not with specifics when I said in some cases. In those cases I suspect the clubs wanted them off the wage bill and rather than paying a lump sum they wanted to account for it over a period of time. My original point is that some on here suggest that everytime a player leaves a club before the end of his contract whether through choice or not the current club has to carry on paying the player. In Nelsons situation it seems to suggest that we haven't asked for a fee therefore Nelson has maybe taken a signing on fee from AEK therefore removing the problem of less wages if that is even indeed the case.

Never said that he can't score goals, the idea that, with his attitude, DF/SW would risk 'a bad apple' in the group, after all the hard work from everyone at the Club.....

Budapest Canary 152 Posted July 22, 2019 AEK made it to the group stages of the Champion's League last season (after knocking out Celtic and Fehérvár - the latter with some luck and help from the ref as I witnessed it on the spot), which means they may have enough money to afford his wages (or contribute a large chunk) . As AEK is a big team in Greece, they are likely to fight for the title this season besides playing some European football in the EL. All in all he's likely to enjoy himself more than he did with us. Anyway I wish him the best. The same goes for Pinto, whom I'm likely to see in a fortnight with his old/new team, Dynamo Zagreb in a fortnight or so in Budapest against Ferencváros in the CL.

Which rather begs the question of why there was such a fuss about the club's high wage bill when the parachute payments were only 2 years.

But the idea that a palyer moving on to a lower wage contract can simply be 'fobbed off' with what the selling club thinks is utter nonsense. If it were not nonsense then NCFC could have simply sold all the unwanted, high wage players to clubs for a lower contract. If as with McNally the clubs wants to terminate his contract then he is due the amount left on his contract, as with Moxey..... but not players it would seem. Payments due will not be a lump sum as said on here but will simply continue as per normal. With any new football contract being deducted from the old contract. That is all that happens with players.

Barbe bleu 822 Posted July 22, 2019 If the two parties to a contract agree to cancel it then it no longer binds either. If a player wants to leave and the club want him to leave then the contract is annulled with no further money to be paid. Slightly different situation if the club wants to sell but the player doesn't want to break his current contract ( for instance if the buying club won't match his wage expectations). In this case the player may choose to stay or negotiate an inducement to annul. Any inducement won't be his salary as there will be no contract of employment although it may look as though it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barbe bleu 822 Posted July 23, 2019 If bill is correct that the old contract is still running despite a new one being signed elsewhere what would stop the old club sacking the player when he doesn't turn up for training or a game?
