we’re getting 17 million for vik and had a play off run

it’s absolutely nonsense

Extremely disappointing certainly. It's the wages spread across 25 players for 2 or 3 years that's the issue...

I’m starting to smell a rat with regards to DK . I’m starting to think he really is a Sisu plant and they’re cashing in on our best assets.
I hope I’m wrong but I fear I’m not !

Everyone needs to chill the fuck out.

People are getting aggy about a situation literally nobody on the forum knows for certain.

Nobody knows what he has asked for, what we have offered. Nobody knows if he actually wants to stay, just perception and rumour.

We have no idea what Doug has planned in investment or what/who is lined up.

He came in January and we signed players on loan, we have already signed a player who is likely to start at LWB. We have only officially lost loan players from our starting side at the end of last season.

Everybody just relax, take a breath and start arguing in September when King has sold everything back to SISU and pocketed the money from Vik.

Doug has no planned investment.

To be fair, he can love the club but also feel he's not being offered what he feels he's worth. The two aren't really mutually exclusive.

Ultimately it's a short career and therefore players fundamentally have the right to milk it for all it's worth.

Thing is nothing has happened yet so why are people getting their knickers in a twist?
Until it’s in black and white why worry?
Life’s too short imo.
Can’t get much worse than being at Newport in league two getting pissed on all day, scraping a 1-1 draw.
Chill everybody!!!

Its the waiting that creates the problem, fans want football or news. The silence i think sometimes creates the stories, get the players on the pitch and things will settle down. And more importantly MR will get on with his job no matter who is running around Ryton.

@GIMOC is dead on

I said a few weeks back Doug was being a prick and doesnt have a clue how to run a club, and was met with ' ah good glad someones sorting the place out'

He isnt.

He doesnt have a relationship with the players, hes pissing off fans, sponsors, players, backroom staff on a daily basis by all accounts

Like i said weeks ago, lets see how everyone feels about him in a few weeks

just spoke to one of the scouts. Vik almost certainly going. doesn’t sound likely any of the loans will be returning and regarding Hamer he was made aware that the club are preparing for worse case scenario.

going by that. The club are certainly taking a stance on wage structure. I would guess Mcnally would be above our wage constraints as is a new contract for Gus.
Click to expand...
Everyone assumed Vik and Gus were leaving until rumours started that Gus might be tempted to stay for the right money and we’ve got no way of knowing if there’s any truth to that.

I would be disappointed if we couldn’t convince one of the loans back though. They all had good spells here so should be tempting for them and their club and would help with continuity when we’ve got quite a high turnover of players, particularly in defence.

You don't have to break the wage structure if you give him the equivalent in a signing on fee or a percentage when sold.

And if he loved the club so much I'm sure he could make do with £15k. Or even £10k. I'm sure most people who love the club would be over the moon to take £5k pw.

It all depends on what he could get elsewhere. If he could get £25-30k somewhere else, but is willing to settle for £20k to stay here, then he's showing a desire to stay and willingness to compromise his earning ability.

To say "well why not take £18k then?" would, for me, lead to "fuck you then, I'll take the extra money elsewhere ta."
