American sports have the salary cap which is why those details are available. -

If that's the case (I have no idea so will accept you at your word), and it is legally possible to do so in the UK/Europe, then I would love to see it in football here too -

They're more than happy to share salaries in the NFL / MLB etc. -

Completely agree, At a bare minimum, they should have to publish what the guaranteed amount is, along with possible maximum amount, & with sell % Also think the same should apply for player wages (as far as it can) Probably restricted in that can't legally force clubs to disclose individual player wages/bonuses etc, I imagine that would infringe data protection or similar of the individual players. But it could be possible for them to be "forced" to publish an amalgamated basic wage amount etc (accounts currently only have to show a wage for all club staff including directors, tea ladies etc) -

Not sure there would be a relegation clause, there's a difference between league one and 2.Bundesliga -

Personally I'm sick of it and think they should force clubs to reveal the terms of deals. The fans deserve to know if money is being spent wisely. -

He was bought for £1.2m from Japan 4 years ago. He left Birmingham for £400k on a relegation release clause (signed on a free). His agent will have inserted a relegation release clause into his contract. There's no way we're paying £2m for him from a relegated side that only played him 15 times last year. -

But if he wants out then he may accept I don’t think he would have been on much more tbh -

Yes agreed 100% it’s why I think the 2million touted by Nixon is likely to be false -

I don’t think Miyoshi will be £2m. Joined for £400k and didn’t play much during another relegation season. I would imagine he has a similar release clause to the one he had at Birmingham. Maybe £800k - £1m with some add ons. -

No I agree, 28 is a great age. I don't like the modern trend that every signing needs resale value, you need a good balance in there. I just think the club might see it differently, unless its really cheap like the McLoughlin deal. -

Following his relegation wage reduction, he might possibly be at that level If he wants to maintain his earnings from last season, Rovers will be probably be out of the running -
The club keep coming up with these hare brained schemes which will undoubtedly deter some from actually going. It's simple really - give fans a choice of using the options available. I really don't care if other clubs or organisations are wholly digital, as a club with a dwindling support they should really be understanding of this and after for everyone. I expect all kinds of problems next Saturday when we play Birmingham if the Everton friendly is anything to go by.

I don’t think the 2million will be paid up front itl be stacked with add ons A lot seem to be talking about age 28 is a nice age I don’t see the problem with it (all signings cannot be with resale value) but I agree on the Nixon from the could be well off it -

I’d say he’s on around the 10k per week salary -

I think you will be disappointed -

MarkBRFC replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The more I think about Miyoshi I just don't see it happening. The fee will surely put them off for a 28 year old. I do wonder if Nixon has just plucked one because he was getting fed up of everyone asking him "who the winger is" on social media. -

RevidgeBlue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think a lot depends on how you leave the Club. Has the player forced a move or are his Club selling him to raise funds? I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to get out of here ASAP at the moment but in normal times or at a normal Club if a player deliberately runs down his contract just so he can earn a bit more dosh I think he deserves all the derision coming his way. If however he leaves for a Club in a higher Division and a lot more money and the Club get a proper fee then there's no real room for resentment. However I don't particularly see the need to blow him kisses and wish him well at his new Club etc. you can still reserve the right to be disappointed and at the end of the day, every other Club is your enemy. -

It happens for pretty much all clubs not sure why ‘undisclosed fees’ is something that’s thrown at rovers solely. -

It might not even be as deep as that. How strong is the Yen these days? How far does £10k a week get you in Japan? I've been to Scandinavian and it's bloody expensive, so Tronstad wanting more makes sense. -

Relegation specialist you say? Well some posters think that's exactly what our owners want, so maybe they'll push the boat out for him... -

My point it when he got the budasliga move he will be paid around the same that Travis and Tronstad want I assume. I would be surprised if he wants substantially less than they do. -

It also allows them the chance to come out with nonsense PR statements about “significant investment” when we all know it’s total garbage. You can be certain it’s not in the best interests of the fans anyway -

Probably happy to retain his wages and not get them cut by relegation
