the issue for me, if the club don’t budge on 16k and prem teams are making enquires, he along with the club have a decision to make. Does he stay one more year and hope we get promoted or do the club try and cash in on him.

If it's such a small difference, surely Hamer can accept the contract...?

Might have been the case, but he’s in the driving seat in this one. It’s up to us to tempt him

I did ask how much is he currently on. around 13k plus add on’s. So for an extra 7k a week it doesn’t make sense why the club don’t offer what he wants.

It even makes sense from a financial point of view as the longer contract instantly makes him worth more money.

not to mention to feel good factor around the club. I personally would be buzzing if gus stayed on and well excited for the new season.
If he was asking for 30-40k then fair enough but he isn’t and clearly enjoys the area and club.
200k extra for the year is 8 boxes sold.

I can only hope they want the Vik money to be sorted then they can match it.

yeah if they were no other options. once prem teams start sniffing. He can earn upwards of 20k a week with signing on fee. the club are playing a very dangerous game on this one

On the grand scheme of things I think if the figures GIMOC states are true then as a supporter the club probably should offer him these terms, more as a show if intent from the club and to get supporters on board. In truth it's a very difficult one though - Hamer has probably outgrown the club. I imagine even a Leicester or Leeds could offer someone like Hamer £40k a week. We probably haven't paid someone £20k a week since the days of Joachim.

No one likes increases in price or loop holes being closed but in our case both needed to be done. Our tickets were too cheap, people were buying children’s tickets and adults using them, the corporate tickets were still at L2 levels.

we can’t have it both ways …. If we want to be a top half championship club then as fans we have to be prepared to pay the going rate.

Where I think King could have been better advised Is over the phasing and communication of the increases.

All of that said IF we had Won at Wembley no one would be talking about this. It would have been accepted as the price of success.

king is saying if we want to be ambitious then that applies on and off the pitch …..

IF true, notice it’s a big IF, it is all about negotiating and I’d suspect a compromise will happen unless MR sees someone better out there, doubt it but you never know.

I'm glad we know all about the detail in the salary negotiations and transfer dealings for our players/prospective players. If it's on here, it must be true.

As previously mentioned, sell vik now and put 1% of the money aside into giving Gus a new contract per year

200k is 1% of 20 million

Tough ask that

Just give him what he wants, he’s the best player in the league and in my opinion that is more than reasonable wages for someone of that quality

We have to keep Gus at all costs. Best midfielder in the league. If we lose both him and Vik in 1 window it stinks of Mcallister and Keane

Hopefully they can meet on the middle with Gus. But it would be a huge plus to keep him. Everyone knows he’s now the heart of the team.
A big test for Doug. Make it happen.

Especially if we are getting a few big earners off the wage bill like Walker, Kane, Waghorn etc.

Reckon that’s a possibility perhaps include a years golf membership and it could be a deal.
