But, but... Sheffield United!
Conveniently forgetting their fantastically well drilled and athletic back 4.
Back 5?

Where does that leave the Lee Williamsons of the world and the other dross we signed on thousands per week under embargo ?
Guys way down the food chain earning 6 - 8k per week at the likes of Salford is nearly as bad as the top guys earning 50k pwk. Some realism needed all the way through the pyramid. They aren't all going to fit onto the Chelseas of the worlds books nor will they get poached by Dutch and Belgian second tier clubs.
Exactly. The demand for L1 and L2 players is hardly going to be huge in the Belgium, Dutch, Italian leagues etc. I read the other day that James Norwood at Ipswich is on £9k per week. Even if a salary cap is brought in and he had to halve his wage he's never get that anywhere else in Europe.

To any of the dozens of other leagues. If this isn't extended to other leagues it does reduce the competitive advantage English football has had for a while now. How much so remains to be seen.
I'd hazard a guess that a carthorse in L2 gets paid a lot more than a carthorse in the Dutch equivalent.

Don’t see how this can effectively be enforced to be frank...
I don't see how clubs can survive without it. It's going to take a few years to be fully effective though so unless clubs get fans through the gates soon they are going to go bust.

£16.8m for both according to the accounts
Curious. It was reported widely as £8m at the time and Sharpe is still going with that. But if they are the accounts and that isn't a printing error then fair enough.

8 million is still massive when compared to next seasons limit. Hard to see how Wigan can keep almost any of their senior players even if their takeover goes well. If your whole wage bill stretches to about 50 grand a week, you can't be having a player on 8-10 unless they're so good that they almost get you promotion by themselves.
It is massive. I think Wigan's was about £5m that season and then the next highest was Shrewsbury's at about £2.5m iirc.
It would be interesting to see what Wycombe's was this season for comparison.

Of course, it is relevant. A player always has a way out.
It's a lot easier with a release clause, which is what the discussion was about. You misunderstood. It's fine.

If the player is down to receive a cut of the transfer fee, the bigger the transfer fee the more to him.
@Bigdoggsteel I very much doubt he'd sulk. His agent would probably be telling him, he can get a much bigger deal than that.
Again, not relevant to the point. The point is a player wouldn't NOT give himself a way out if he knows bigger clubs with more money are in for him.

According to the accounts for the 2017/2018 season our wages paid was £16.8m as first team is around 90% of that it was pretty much £15m.
That was the pre-tax loss not the wage bill
Rovers wage bill was £8m

A release clause puts in a lower floor. Unless there's a bidding war, the club is voluntarily putting itself in a worst position.
We were on about from the players point of view, not the clubs.

Of course it is Armstrong interest to stay here and play under Mowbray were his talent have been develop and becoming the player he should.
Yeah, that's what his agent will advise if a Prem club comes in for him?

Not in League 1. It was about £8-10m

Just now, chaddyrovers said:
why wouldn't he sign that?
Plays his best football under Mowbray, Key player to the team and I would be make him our top earner at the club
Why would he tie himself into a long term contract with no release clause when clubs in the league above want him? That would be stupid.

Transfer fees seem to be so arbitrary to me but I would personally sell.
Now, is it an attack-minded player or a defensive one??

League One and Two introducing salary caps, well below what ours was in League One. No clarity there on how it affects teams who go down (as I'd argue that forcing them into a fire sale as soon as they go down would hardly encourage financial sustainability for relegated clubs).
Implied that the Championship are considering a similar move, but not explicitly stated. They could be in talks about whether to delay profit and sustainability cut offs etc instead.
£18m wage cap is being discussed for Champ but no vote planned as yet and not going to be in time for the coming season

That I don't know. I was told a bid from a PL club is on the table.
do you think £10m is a fair price, based on ability contract-situation etc?

L1 & L2 clubs are voting on a wage cap today. Anyone know when the Championship clubs are voting? I've googled but no luck.

Dino Baggio was fairly wank

Meccy briefly turned up to help run the illustrious Ribchester in the East Lancs League about 20 years ago. Lovely bloke who was always very encouraging to the cart-horses he helped manage!
One of the good guys.
RIP Stuart.

Summer Transfer Window

Still not sure what that has to do with you saying SUFC play with a back 4. I don't think it really matters but I was just curious.
