Here's Why Beasant Was Pissed Off

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Knight can't be paying Coppell so much more that it doesn't leave anything after the half dozen mentioned have been taken into account.

Coppell must have his eye on other players. He's surely just keeping his powder dry, keeping enough of whatever budget he's got back to get others in. For that reason he'll of course try to get Beasant to stay on for as little as possible - it settles the problem of a second 'keeper, without ruining his chances of looking at anyone else.

I agree that, if true, £500 p/w is little for a player of Beasant's stature. But he's got to realise that, at 44, eventually he'll have no more clubs left to turn to. He can't go on for ever - this may be the season that the offers dry up. He's got a year's guaranteed involvement (I suspect only Bob is guaranteed first team football) in the full time league on offer. Given the buyers' market the clubs operate in at the moment, he's got a straightforward choice - take it or leave it. Getting the knock about it is pointless.

If he is really pissed off about the offer - why doesn't he look for a career with better prospects


Chimney sweep ?

Big Daves finest hour !!!

 

[dunno]

Big dave's finest perm!!

 

[Simster]

That was probably the last FA Cup Final that I got excited about. The Premiership, The Champions League and squad sizes of 50 have been the death of it.

Aidan Newhouse was on £33,000 per year and that was over four years ago!!! - ( I know 'cos I used to work for the company that let him a house) [/B]

When he came into the office did he say: "I'm Aidan Newhouse, I need a new house"?

 

[Turkey]

Newhouse on £700 a week

 

[El Presidente]

I am matey with someone at Bury and some of their first teamers are on £200 a week!

 

[Beefy]

If you think Newhouse on £700 a week is bad I heard Jamie "the tart" Moralee was on £1,500 a week when he was here.

 

[Mullers]

I am matey with someone at Bury and some of their first teamers are on £200 a week!

But they can Buy a northen shit-hole for £25k! More fool them!

 

[berkshire seagull]

I earn 26k a year and i have no brain
Must admit that dave is worth a bit more and i reckon an extra £10 a week should keep him happy.

 

[Trigger]

Why cant we sack Hinshelwank so we can afford another players wages?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Big Dave should retire and train to be a plumber, he'll earn far more then what Dick can offer him here!

 

[berkshire seagull]

I would love to earn £500 a week while playing the sport i love!

Butters was alledgedly on 4k+ a week last year and Zamora was up there with him. Bearing in mind he will have taken a 15% cut due to relegation he is probably pushing the 4k mark. Still a high wage, but nothing like the 8 k people are talking about.

 

[berkshire seagull]

Christ butters was on that what a joke and hinsh got himself a 3 year deal which will feel forever no doubt.
Wonder if hinsh still gets the same money as when he was manager mmmm,but i doubt it.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I think that Butters only has a year left. Would not be suprised to see the Albion paying him off at some point. Although the fact that they were not willing to Lee makes you wonder what sort of contract Taylor put him on. To be honest if Knight keeps the wages under control that will be no bad thing bearing in mind the damage a couple of our former managers (in the loosest sense of the word) have done. Average players at best on fairly large deals.

 

[bigc]

like Case?
he paid 100K+ for shit like Peake

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Bobby is on 4 grand
Cullip on about 3 a week

I can just about see why DB wants more than 500

 

[bigc]

i wonder how much Lee is on now you mention it
Cullip on less than Butters, what an outrage
