    the greed of the players

    players are not talking to the press etc due to ash not giving them bonus payments for league positions etc

    I remember when people earning 20-100 k a week felt lucky
    seems players nowadays want to bleed the club dry

    what they are asking for


    could get us 2 players


    I bet people don't think of this when they say we have 60 mill to spend
    they were paid 11 mill in bonuses last season

    Most premier league players are on such bonuses you numpty like it or not ! This has nothing to do will available funds you WUM.
    No one agrees with the size of bonuses the merchant bankers/stockbrokers received allied to performance levels but this became the norm.
    Ashley has been able to pocket millions last season through the extraordinary performance of our 'championship' squad.Dont be so stupid as to use bonus payments as an argument for years of underfunding.Beggars belief or as many say WUM !!!!

    just greed from the lad im afraid

    and it effects the amount we have to spend on players which ever way you look at it

    so if they ask for more on top of the 60 odd percent they already take from turnover thats ok is it

    lets get a bonus for doing our jobs

    no wonder the greedy kunts dont want to get shipped out

    look if they want a bonus sort it out
    but the point is when people say we have 60 odd million for transfers they dont take into account these figures

    they moan at ashlys free advertising
    yet are happy for players on huge wages and taking money/bonuses for doing their jobs

    win a cup get us in europe have a bonus by all means

    and then sulk to the press and let the club down to get at ashly
