As far as I understand it:
The pay rise was for the year April 23 to April 24
He was suspended in July 23
That is after April 23 when the pay rise happened.
Details are annoying, aren't they.
That's like them saying they wouldn't raise taxes on working people and then you kicking off because they've raised tobacco duty because "some working people like to smoke".
We all know what taxes are being referred to when they are for 'working people'.
Unless you are trying to find fault...
Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You
[Verse]
"Ferdi"
Is all that I can say
Years gone by and still
Talent don't come easily
Like Ferdi, Like Ferdi
[Chorus]
But I can say Ferdi
Ferdi, Kadioglu's alright
Ferdi Kadioglu, the left side, or the right side
I don't mind
Drive my car - some 60s group
Asked the fans what they wanted to see
They said pace up and down the wing
He has to be strong and work for the team
We needed something, a wing back machine.
Give me Alexander Bah
Yes, he's gonna be a star
Give me Alexander Bah
And will run past you
Beep beep...
Isn't that only true if they buy him for £80m, Then you amortise that fee over the value of the contract, i.e decresing his value of £80m by 1/4 every year of a 4 year contract.
He joined in 2020 so his value on the books may already be fully amortised based on the original contract length...
Going Underground
[Pre chorus]
And the public gets what the public wants
But I want a player who's got the lot
[Chorus]
Alexander Bah (Alexander Bah)
Well, we will watch him playing in our football ground
Alexander Bah (Alexander Bah)
Well, girls and boys will sing and the fans will shout for...
