Real Madrid were after Pennant?

Er.... smaller club and (according to all the NSC logic-atitions) a lower profiled place in the sport - but done for greed and money.
I see (I think I don't see, actually).
Still, you lot can mind-read and you all know he did it for the money."without a doubt"
Too right...no one can live on £30,000 a week nowadays. :thud:
No footballer in the Premier League REQUIRES more money. They all have far more than they NEED. I would chop my nads off to say I was bought by Real Madrid. A player of Pennant's level will never achieve anything else as good as that in his entire career.

Yes, it's like working for Summerfields then taking a 50% wage cut to work for Tesco just because they are bigger. Neither greedy or stupid, you obviously don't have a mortgage.
Somerfields to Tesco being compared to Wigan and REAL EFFIN MADRID doesn't work.
Playing for Real Madrid is the stuff dreams are made of. I'm sure Pennant can survive with cutting down on a mansion or two. I THINK he has enough money somehow.

That's like 35k ( euros) and the EURO is coming down, so he can then swap them for £'s and make shit loads of money!!
There is NO WAY Pennant will not regret this if he has arsed it up as it seems he has.
He'll be telling his kids how he got a few games at Wigan, went on to warm the bench at Hull, then Charlton, then Yeovil, and he'll never mention it, but he'll still know in the back of his mind until his final days that he could've played for one of the greatest teams of all time.
But he wants 7 cars, not 6. So that's that. Not that Real Madrid isn't a REASONABLY good thing to have on your CV.

Correct. Why would you take £30k a week, to move to a different country, JUST to sit on the bench? Fair play to him I say.

Apparently no wages have been discussed and Liverpool are negotiating with Madrid for a price.
However, if he's good enough for Madrid, then so am i.

I'd rather play ONE game for Real at the Bernabau, than a full season in front of 9,000 woolybacks at the JJB.
Exactly. I'd rather play once for Real Madrid than play a whole career for Wigan. Plus what sounds more inviting to prospective buyers:
Currently at Wigan, and formerly of Liverpool...
Currently at Real Madrid, playing in the Champions League, and formerly of Liverpool...

According to SSN personal terms havent been discussed but if he left for Real and flopped some other Prem side would be interested as opposed to Wigan where can he go after them only to the Championship or lower.

He's in a profession where his career could end in seconds thanks to injury. Shame on him for considering his future outside of football. Naturally you'd take a 50% pay cut to work for a more prestigious employer I'm sure.

Spoken like some one who has never had a decent job and thinks that memories are worth more than money. Funny how supermarkets prefer money for goods.
Stop comparing supermarkets to football clubs. The analogy does not work.
In any case, I think if he went to Real Madrid due to their high profile nature there's good reason to believe he would end up making a LOT MORE money than staying at some (comparably) bit-part outfit like Wigan.
Playing for Real Madrid would still be a VERY DECENT JOB.
And don't patronise me, lad.
You really think he's turning it down because he's thinking about his grandkids education?
I would if it meant much better prospects later in my career.
Did you support Cashley Cole in his bid to be paid more? Cos he was doing it for his grandkids?
If Real Madrid came knocking on my door I'd give it a bloody go even if I knew it would be tough.
