scrimmage 0 Posted July 24, 2009 We''ve now brought in 8 permanents and a loan, and got rid of two. Surely we will need to get rid of a few more due to wages?? With 6 extra players, two coming from the champ and 1 on load form the prem, these wages aren''t going to be low. I understand that Crofty and Marsh were probably big earners at the club. Don''t get me wrong as I''m not one of them negative bastards I''m well optimistic now for the coming season. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Fotheringham aswell left. Also think of all the loans we were probably paying the majority of their wages whilst they were here. Plus Clingan and Russell will probably leave by the end of next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted July 24, 2009 When Clingan and Russell I imagine the wage bill will drop considerably... assuming they were players on a high wage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Jedi 0 Posted July 24, 2009 We''ve gotten rid of 12 players from loans / Marshall from last season, with the possibility of 2 more.So I don''t think it''s a problem we''ve replaced a total of 14 players (potentially) with 9 (and presumably another 2, Maric, Holt = 11) just yet! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Jedi 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Yeah - 12 inc. Croft and Marshall (not actually sure on the exact figure, but is quoted from someone else''s thread) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrimmage 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Fair enough, plus a lot of the loans were from prem teams and therefore on higher wages. Am I right in thinking free agents often pick up bigger wages? Sorry I''m just going on what FIFA 09 says, lol.What pleases me most about this transfer season is that we only have one loanee, and 8 permanents. So we''ve replaced the majority of loanees with what seem to be quality perms. I''m happy [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted July 24, 2009 loans woulda been on alot more in total than what the new signings are......we hope anyway :)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted July 24, 2009 I''ll be happy when we get Holt and possibly Maric. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dhickl 0 Posted July 24, 2009 [quote user="ob1"]Yeah - 12 inc. Croft and Marshall (not actually sure on the exact figure, but is quoted from someone else''s thread)[/quote]I think the 12 included all the loans from last season. I make it that we have lost:Fozzy, Marshall, Croft, Cort, Lee, Mooney, Leijer, Shackell, Carney, Gow, Nelson plus weren''t we paying for Killen until the end of the season?

I know there''s not really a cat in hell''s change of him coming down to league 1 but if we did offer him something I would be majorly impressed. And we all know how much he liked it here.
