It’s entirely relevant but you talk total shite most of the time so I can’t be bothered wasting my energy discussing it
I meant with us to be fair. It’s a stupid comment to say he’s not worth as much as Simms and Wright as he clearly in the open market will be
It makes no difference to us as it seems clearly he clearly isn't going to sign for us.Think he simply needs to confirm where he’s going so everyone can crack on.
I tend to agree but I think it doesn't matter anyway as he wants to play at a higher level. I suspect the only way he was staying was if we got promoted.I meant with us to be fair. It’s a stupid comment to say he’s not worth as much as Simms and Wright as he clearly in the open market will be
We’ll have to wait and see for when COH is in court and his salary disclosed…Do you think another club will think he’s worth £25k a week?

Joking aside, MR is working to a budget and without knowing our plans and the targets we’re pursuing, it’s an academic conversation.
It’s telling that the club haven’t given up on him re-signing a contract because they think a) it’s fair and b) he may not have as many options as previously thought.
Torn on this one.Fair play to them if so but also says a lot about Doug in a way for me. Their best player is out of contract, they recognise he's a difference maker in their squad and offer him money accordingly
We, have offered Callum 18k a week when Simms and Wright are on 25. And wont go higher, and wonder why he then leaves.
No this isnt part of my 'vendetta' against Doug, its shows that even fucking Preston North End pay their best players accordingly, we dont/wont, and wonder why they never even entertain signing
Torn on this one.
we have to run club sustainability- that’s more important than short term gain (quick promotion with zero foundation)
issue with this approach is situations like this where for let’s say 2,3,4,5k more we could get player over the line, but it’s breaks structure etc - frustrating for us, but think sensible in long term.
Plus I also want players buying into us - we will have offfered him decent wedge - are we more likely to get promoted than Preston in next couple of years - hope so. surely that should excite.
given what we’ve all been through last 10 years at city - sustainable well run club is biggest priority over everything.

Every manager works to a budget but King does decide what to do within that budget. It’s not down to Robins to decide.
A club with more ability to pay than us will certainly find it easier to come to that conclusionDo you think another club will think he’s worth £25k a week?
Anymore on the McCallum deal Saddlebrains?
Of all the away games we've been two my lad has only ever commented on two places we've been, he described both as "awful": Blackpool and Preston.Given that Browne has spent the last decade in Preston I think both Stoke and Coventry represent significant upgrades.
None of this is splitting hares

I heard Doug will not break the the higher payrate £25k PW for anyone.Torn on this one.

If nixon says it then he'll away in a weekNixon reporting that the best offer he has had is from PNE and he is likely to stay sounds like we have made an offer but not matched theirs
I’m not sure it’s a concept that needs a precise definition - in crude terms, the more money a team has available to it for transfers and salary, and the smaller its other immediate obligations, the greater their ability to pay.How do you define having the ability to pay?
No but it'd at least bring an end to the posts on here about his contractIt makes no difference to us as it seems clearly he clearly isn't going to sign for us.
It's also interesting logic. If Chelsea were willing to pay Kasey Palmer more in the 2010s than whoever O'Hare goes to is willing to pay him in 2024, does that mean Palmer was miles better as a player?I’m not sure it’s a concept that needs a precise definition - in crude terms, the more money a team has available to it for transfers and salary, and the smaller its other immediate obligations, the greater their ability to pay.
I believe there are court records which clearly show Kasey Palmer is one of the greatest players in modern football history.It's also interesting logic.

Not that I wish to cast aspersions on this particular court but Judge Viveash also found in favour of Jay Dasilva and Brad Collins.I believe there are court records which clearly show Kasey Palmer is one of the greatest players in modern football history.
25 k a week for a Championship club is far too much too pay a player.Reading about 3 seasons ago had 10 players on £1 million a year each, no wonder they are fucked.I heard Doug will not break the the higher payrate £25k PW for anyone.
I’m in football terms that’s not bad. And king clearly has a laid out path to improve that.How are we sustainable? In our last accounts we lost £7 million operationally?
No team is going to get promoted from this division without paying players those kind of sums. If King isn’t prepared to do so, he’d have been better off buying a L1 or L2 team.25 k a week for a Championship club is far too much too pay a player.Reading about 3 seasons ago had 10 players on £1 million a year each, no wonder they are fucked.
That's not how things work financially.COH isn’t on the same level as Wright or Simms and I don’t think he’s worth £25k per week.
It’s best to avoid overpaying players - stick to your evaluation of a player and move on if they don’t sign.

We did too, tbf.Despite the result, had a cracking day out at Preston last season.
How do you know it's about money for O'Hare rather than he wants to play at a higher level and feels he isn't going to achieve that here?O’Hare isn’t signing. It’s cash based. I don’t blame him and we have to move on. In fairness we’re only looking to plug a gap of 10 decent games in 2 years so it’s not a problem. Browne is a huge miss in the likely event that Sheaf moves on. He would have been a serious acquisition and proven.
