When did it start? Am sure they signed O'Dowda from Bristol City last Summer. They also had loan players including Kipre and Kaba, both of whom I'd be happy for us to sign.

They're allowed loan signings and free transfers only (until Jan 24 window)

Chansiri now come out and said Moore was asking for 4x his current salary and he couldn't accept that. Didn't like the speculation going around so made this statement/short novel.

Dejphon Chansiri club statement

Following the Q&A I conducted last week, speculation has continued in the local and national media which is first and foremost incorrect but also damaging to our club. This speculation has now gone too far with some people putting out completely misleading information.

For all we know though Moore's salary could have been a pittance in the first place

I wouldn’t trust what trust what Chansiri says at all and from what I heard it was pittance. Also, what a bizarre way to conduct negotiations, from how I read it Chansiri never made an offer to Moore ?!

The proper thing to do would have been to keep quiet. Who cares about the speculation, it's exactly that. Just be grown up and ignore it rather than dive in because people are saying nasty things.

Can't see Darren Moore putting his side across at any point, he'll just stay out of it with dignity.

He lied his pants off to me about the budget in Football Manager. I almost quit over that.

Is that a reliable source? Most recently they’ve have their transfer embargo - which relates to this payment - reduced.

Remember reading something along this lines they assumed he would be automatically covered on the club policy, Cardiff had to go onto the club policy and add him as a new player. They either didn't realise or were late adding him to the club policy and insurance wouldn't pay out.

Think they added him too late from memory (ie after crash)...clearly they didn't expect the plane to be a death trap, and the pilot to not have a licence to fly at night.

Moore wasn't out of contract though was he? So why would Chansri make him an offer?

Moore asked for improved terms on his current deal due to promotion and Chansri said he was happy to discuss an improved contract and then wasn't happy with the proposal Moore had presented. He asked Moore to reconsider and Moore said no these were his terms he wanted.

You would think wage increases upon promotion would have been written into his contract as a standard to avoid this kind of dispute but apparently not.

Without knowing the actual numbers and how it compares to the rest of the championship nand promoted teams difficult to say who was being unreasonable.

Ethan Laird signed by Birmingham permanently. That’s a great signing for them. They’ve made some decent signings.

They've made good signings if good is to be a mediocre championship team, which for them it is I suppose.

Fee less than £500k as well. Bargain for a proven good player at this level. Would’ve loved him for our RWB spot - he’s absolutely rapid.

My understanding was that he was on a 12 month roller so presume if either party doesn’t agree to current terms it would terminate. In which case it would be for club to offer alternative terms as a manager isn’t going to stay on L1 wages in the championship

Yea so Sheffield Wednesday said they were happy for him to continue for another 12 months and would also discuss improved terms.

Moore presented his request and when he asked to reconsider he told them no these were his terms.

3 year contracts probably on Prem money. What's crazy is that Everton could have signed Coady for £4m in Jan but decided not to and now Leicester have signed him for £8.5m

Parachute Payment idea: £250k/wk first team budget for each Championship side (academy products exempt) and parachute payments are made directly to players for any amount over £20k/wk. The first £20k comes out the wage budget. Only contracts signed before relegation counted.

They need to do something, why should a team receive millions of pounds for failure, and gain an unfair advantage?

You have to question what they are parachuting from, why would a team like Luton need them so far they have pushed the boat out and signed a free agent from Rotherham.
