The game gives and the game takes, as with Gyo and Hamer I’m glad he’s been here in the first place. It will leave a sour taste for him to walk for nothing but better to accept that’s the likely outcome than expect something improbable.

At this point there is likely little chance of him staying. I also don’t think he has such an affinity to the club that he would stay based on that.

Agreed. I don't think many (if any) professional footballers are any different. It's a short, perilous, career - you're one bad injury, or a drop in form, or simply a new manager that doesn't like you, away from it all going sideways.

Who could blame COH for maximising his opportunities. Obviously I hope he stays, who doesn't, but we'll get by if he goes, like we always do...

What a pitch reminds me of the pitch at Derbys old ground.

As I’ve said before Callum brings more than just a good footballer, he embodies the good feel factor that exists between players and fans. I’d rather they spend a bit more on keeping him than gamble on another couple of Ayari s

On the flip side, we smashed the 2nd half of last season without him.

It's worth considering what the wage model of the club might be and what that really means. Assuming we do have a strict wage cap, players whose market value exceeds that simply must move on. As soon as one single player exceeds the wage cap, is all lost? Presumably that has a knock on effect on other players' deals / renewals and quickly becomes unsustainable.

As such, perhaps we have to accept that where we are in our rebuild as a club & business is we will lose players like O'Hare once their market value exceeds our wage cap?

As others have pointed out, if we were going to exceed our wage cap we'd have done it for Hamer even more so. So it all comes down to - what can O'Hare get elsewhere - I don't see that he'll get a more attractive club / team, but he may get a wage offer we just can't match without breaking the model.

The “heartbeat” of the club?

He didn’t kick a ball for almost 12 months and I seem to remember us doing alright…

Reports of Simms and Wright both on 35k and Binks on 30k, surely O’Hare has to be worth something close to them?
He contributes far more the just his footy skills, I think he binds the team together

When I originally opened this up I thought we were losing one of either Vivash or Lawrence which would be a disaster.

Would love to keep O’Hare but not at all costs.

I’m not aware that the club publishes salary information for its employees so they are vague guesses at best. A very small handful of people will know what their actual salaries are and I suspect you and Google aren’t among them.

Tavares is listed on £5k a week, Robins will have a queue round his office tomorrow morning as that’s more than MVE, Sakamoto, Eccles, Thomas and Kitching.

So Tavares earns the same as Godden and more than McFazdean (who earns less than Jack Borrows) and twice as much as Eccles and Binks earns £30k a week?

Jack Borrows earns more than the £4million signing MVE - why do they publish this shite and why would anyone believe it?

It’s so accurate it says in the notes at the bottom that Hamer is on an annual salary of €8,000,000.
But glad you think it’s more realistic than Capology (whatever that is).

I understand the cons about wage structure and the ACL history and people saying he can be replaced. I also understand that new people take time to bed in and we have an excellent player now. We haven't replaced Gus which has, IMHO, cost us points. Lets' not cash in on another one, let's make a statment and pay him a decent wage with some kind of big buy out clause if necessary.

Welcome to the forum, how has your first day been?
You’re going to have your work cut out if you’re going to self-appoint yourself as minder to everyone on here who presents as you describe. Good luck!
