    Just said similar on dbs thread SOB perhaps we need to change tactics to suit the players available as for waghorn I wasn't convinced but chris wanted him and he was one of the few I thought was attainable wages wise so was willing it to happen but he's hung on just long enough to get the move he was probably always after. Chris said on fri he had other irons in the fire if this didn't come off I just hope he gets one over the line as time is running out otherwise it looks like being a loan
    The biggest problem is definately agents we can be as discreet as we like but you can guarantee all the media leaks are the agents hawking their meat around the market

    "Now then Mr Waghorn" (or any other decent player) "I know they are offering £10 000 a week more BUT we've got good fans & team spirit ... oh & the Gaffer is a good bloke!!".......... "So what do you reckon then????"

    It’s all relative I suppose, I know some will always go for the biggest financial offer, but others might consider location and the club. Let’s face it, Middlesbrough upon ICI is a real ****hole to work and bring up a family. They don’t call the the Smoggies for nowt.

    I had the opportunity to move jobs for considerabley more money on a couple of occasions back in the early 1990’s, but I didn’t take either offer because I didn’t fancy moving my family which was part of the deal in both cases. It might have been the wrong decision who knows, and it certainly wasn’t 10k a week, more like 10k a year, but like I said, everything is relative. If you’re already on hundreds of thousands a year, you might be in a financial position to consider the club’s location and set up as well as the cash like Brayford did.

    I agree though, most players chase the £ and thst seems to be their driving force, not where they play and who they play for.

    Word is Derby could be back in for him so at least he might not be sorted by tomorrow.

    ridiculous thing about a rigid wage structure is: I cannot think & I have, for a while, of any other industry that would attempt to headhunt top quality new personnel with less pay than their competitors???? Even my Window Cleaner Jay would pay a bit extra for some f~~ker that can use a shammy!!!

    The air up there stinks even in the ‘posh’ end out of town. His best bet will be to commute from Whitby.

    One exclamation mark is enough by the way.

    Haha, I don’t think so, like I said I do get your point. Just saying that a few thou extra a week to today’s pro footballer isn’t any different to Dane Whitehouse telling the board to get fecked when he could have had a good increase in wages if he’d gone. Maybe if is want for the agents eh?
