Dike and Bany

[9goals2hattricks3pen]

Pointless terminating his contract as he will want it paying up until June 26 so around 1.5 million. I would sell him at a bargain price or pay at least 50% of his wages to any other club - same with Bartley and Wallace who contribute nothing and are on top wages. No wonder the club is one big mess!!!

Truly don't understand the 'club is one big mess!!' comment. Two years ago we exactly that and on the way to being a 'Sheffield Wednesday.' Now we are in a much better place.

I feel sorry for Dike. When he joined he most have been desperate to score us a lot of goals, be a Premier League player, and most of all be in the USA squad for a home World Cup. All now gone it seems. I bet the lad's devastated. Any human would be.

Personally I dont feel sorry for Dike anymore, as his salary is one of the highest.
Get him fit at the end of September, and get rid of the waste of space!.
Harsh ?. Would you think its harsh if it was your business v salary paid, and games played ?.
Not at all!.

That's a real shame about Daz Dike. 😕
Maybe we really did get lucky with him, in that one amazing Play off 'Covid' season, under Val Ismael.

Happy Yorkshire day Al, Mick, Prando, and the Barnsley lad.

I've only just noticed the comment, aww tahh very much Soulman lol.
Although whisper it quietly, but I'm not actually from there. 😄
It does still seem weird as well though, without uncle Mick on here.

Its not worked out for us at all as a club but if anyone of us were in his position Im sure we would want the security of the contract payments till it runs out. I dont think Bany is in the same boat just unlucky but not to the same level as Dyke.

Many but not everyone. Bartley could have hung on for another year and Frabotta left too! Good on them!

Dike has been paid well over 6 million for 43 appearances on the highest salary on the payroll. Not his fault say some? Not the clubs either who have a financial problem. We need to get him fit and try and sell him or loan him out paying a percentage of his wages. Not even impressed in my view either!

43 appearances FFS!!

We dont actually know if or how much the club paid Bartley or Frabrotta to leave?

You would be mad to leave a contract before the expiry without some sort of compensation.

Very true Matt but hey - not everyone is greedy in this world especially if they know the organisation is financially struggling.

I hope our management team do say to Dike even if verbally to not to even think about the national team unless you have had a good run of games with the club that pays you. Illegal? So what!

Personally I think this saga will go on until his contract ends and can see him retiring.

So sad that footballers earn ridiculous money and if this was a member of the public who couldn?t work they would get full pay for six months if very lucky. Don?t buy the it?s a short career as the average person can?t get rich in a very short time frame.

Football ruined by money and to think many kids can?t even attend a match as there?s no money in the household. Six million for sitting in the treatment room FFS!

Surly there must be a reinsurance some where for contracts like that? The club has to be able to cover themselves.

Very good point! Surely there must be including the sad death of Jota from Liverpool as he was a valuable asset

Good point and it would be interesting to find out. In the "real world" companies do not continue to pay full wages for as long as you are sick and contracts/ length of service dictate how long you do get paid for and at what rate. Can't quite see players on hefty wages ending up on SSP though 😁 plus, of course, the nature of their employment means they obviously face continuous risk of injury which has to be accounted for.

Film stars, for example, have long had insurances taken out against them hurting themselves but dont know if this is their own personal insurance to protect their income or insurance taken out by the studios to protect their projects. Be interesting to find out if clubs do take insurance out on players. Anyone?
