Seems like really the only way it doesn’t happen is if Dougie disapproves.

That’s certainly what whoever leaks to Saddle wants us to believe.

As of 11.30am, Matty James is at the petrol station filling up his car for the long journey from Leicester to Coventry. He is awaiting a call from his agent if he needs to buy some Pringles for the gaffer (paprika flavour) and some Swiss chocolate for Duggy King. Conversations ongoing!

Doug King is hoping, if he Delays Long enough, another Club will Come along an Sign Him.

He then Has an excuse Why The Club Didn't Sign Him.

It is believable enough anyway that the player and MR are interested but the chairman may not be. Any embellishments beyond that notwithstanding.

I mean it’s effective. Just saying if there’s slight resistance getting it out there puts pressure on him.

I saw a copy of an email someone posted last night, it's nearly all sorted with Matty James, he & Robins are happy with a one year contract but Doug wants a "pay as you play" arrangement .
Hopefully that will be sorted out sensibly.

Surely there's not a single Championship player on a pay as you play deal these days? Tinpot as fuck.

The last pay as you play contract I recall was John Hartson, people thought that he was finished when he came to Cov from Wimbledon. He was either on that kind of contract with us or them prior maybe, can't remember.

I’d imagine it’s more likely lower base salary with upside for appearances rather than solely PAYP. Would be more justifiable if James hadn’t played 40 games last year ! (Unless he’s got an injury issue we’re aware of)

Let’s all not get too wound up on rumours though. I doubt anyone knows the full details of negotiations/what, if anything’s, been proposed

Andy Impey was on a pay as you play under Micky Adams, remember some games he was subbed on for a minute so he’d get paid.

Why is absolutely no one even remotely questioning that any of that is true?

If you just take the salary part. There will be 3 to 4 people max who are privy to what money his agent is asking for and not one of those will have anything at all to gain by disclosing that to a third party source - who subsequently leaks that to a guy who they know puts it on a public forum.

And that’s just that part of what was written in that “leak” intel.

I find it so funny that there was not a mention of Matty James from any ITK until the national newspapers announced it. Now all of a sudden they know about the whole concept of the deal, complete attention seekers

I came up with a new song for Matty James and my mate said to post it on here for a joke

And well the city smells of desperation
The streets all echo of aggravation
And you wonder why you can't get no sleep
When you've got nothing to do
And you've got no Ben Sheaf
The league's slipping and sliding right out of view
And there's absolutely nothing that you can do, well

We all know he’ll end up at a League One side, after we fail to land him.

Probably Birmingham. That would be f-ing perfect.

He’s scored some memorable goals, but these aren’t close to balancing out the problems that come from his constant showboating and unwillingness to commit to a press.

Or run more then 10 yards to try and win the ball back after showboating invaribaly lost us possession, usually becuase he'd already fell over! Fuck me I'm glad he's gone honestly.

I think at this point, we’d be more likely to sign Sid James on a short term deal.
