1983 Cup Final Money

[The Large One]

And now on CBBC...... Jackanory with Christoper Biggins.

Fozzie wanted to play in the Prem (First Division) he still had the chance of more England appearances.

Well YOU can tell Chris Cattlin he is an out-and-out liar if you want.

As for 'more England appearances'...

It would have been financial suicide if he had asked to leave and thus lost the signing on fee etc. Remember they were earning decent money then but nothing in comparison to what they would have been on today in a similar situation.

I didn't think I said that they asked to leave.

The club needed them to leave, thus prompting the two way negotiations.

They were on lucrative contracts, but I concede nothing like todays players, but very very good money for the time.

Still don't know where the cash went! i'm sure it was nothing to do with cattlin or foster!

Johnny Vinnicombe and the Argus.

spot on

foster's tax bill for cup final year according to the said documents out of the skip were apparently more than the salaries combined of 2 of the final team and this was based on index linked (complete with the John terry caluse of increase my salary if someone comes in on more) for 10 years.

As you say relatively fantastic money for the time and location and truly no incentive to want to be elsewhere

slight tangent, but why do we refer to such clauses as a "John Terry clause", if they have been around for at least 27 years and presumably known about for most of that time

sorry only did this because NSC had a big thing about it a few weeks ago and so was trying to link it back to a previous topic. As you says it's not unusual so perhaps we should call it the Tom Jones clause?

Yes you do, I specifically answered your question and others have given the reason as well.

I can only guess you're still asking the same question because you don't like the answer (which is after all somewhat boring), and you think that if you keep asking maybe the answer will change into something more sensational.

I'm not the only one asking! I Think we need to not let this one go its about time it was brought and into the open and laid to rest,we are moving into a new era lets just,lets do it with no skeletons!

 

[The Keeper]

How can anyone blame Catlin, foster and specially Dick Knight,
I think tubby stavros on the seagull specials may of shed some light on this sad episode, we cant let it vanish under the sordid carpet.
We want our money back!!! ive got my super glue ready and im not afraid to use it !!!

where do you think it went? Brovion is right, you're just fishing for a conspiracy. I think Wookie was just having a giggle by even raising it.

Fishing for the truth my friend,why would this subject keep cropping up after 27 years if there was nothing in it?

It's certainly not unusual.

The Truth

No way was I having a giggle !!!

We NEED to know !!

Its been far too long now!

Somebody knows the truth, its about time we hear it !!!

 

[Man of Harveys]

I think it's far more interesting to work out what those players might have SPENT all that salary on in 1983.

1. Billy Joel records
2. "Dolly birds"
3. Vodka and orange down Busbys

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Some of it went on building a new roof for the NorthStand. Sorry if this sounds unlikely. In an effort to make me sound important and popular, sorry, I mean in an effort to make this sound more plausible I will name drop Don Shanks. There; Don Shanks told me that some of it went on a new roof for the North Stand.

No, there's two of you. But the point remains. You asked where the money went. We told you. Do you accept the answer? Yes or no?

Yeah, I can never tell whether he's serious or on a wind-up. Anyway, wait until he stops worrying where the Charity Shield and FA Cup money went and moves into the modern era. What happened to the Zamora, Spurs, and Play-off final money? eh? eh?
