[Albion] New contract for Evan Ferguson - signed until 2028

They're not mutually exclusive

They're certainly not, but I also rather feel they are a good team morale boast to know the group is being kept together as much as possible. Really good time to be announcing these imho.

They're not mutually exclusive

Best phrase in the English/Irish/Dutch/Italian etc lexicon. More people should use it. A personal fave either way, you just need an appropriate situation to drop it into, and if one doesn’t present itself manufacture one.

Veltman strikes me as a Paul Scholes type of character i.e. happy doing what he does and isn’t too demanding. I reckon he will re-sign.

In to feet?

Saying that, it matches our style so I’m in

Great boss and a friend

When people say to me: would you rather be thought of as a funny man or a great boss? My answer's always the same, to me, they're not mutually exclusive

Looking at the reddit thread on this it was interesting to see that fans of other clubs overwhelmingly see this as good for Evan Ferguson.

Club has a year option

I wish we’d announce we’d taken it. Really don’t want to lose this lad.

Is he fit for the Forest game?

Is he fit for the Forest game?

RDZ has been quoted as saying they're unlikely to risk him for Forest. Also quoted as saying Buonanotte will start.

Amortisation is to do with applying the transfer fee, salary is just spread over the term anyway but doesn’t really affect FFP

Payroll costs directly affect FFP calculations.

I asked PB about the wage structure changing if we vie for Europe and he was clear the answer was "no change". Unless we start making considerably more in revenue over a consistent period (i.e. qualify for Europe 2/3 seasons in a row or raise the ticket prices considerably) there isn't room to change the wage structure sustainably.

I'd imagine that due to some big names leaving and not being replaced immediately (Cucurella, Trossard, Bissouma, Maupay) there is space to "promote" internal players into bigger squad roles and for their wages to match that (Caicedo fills Bissouma's wage hole, Ferguson picks up Maupay's etc.).

There we go again, turning Sunday's negatives into this week's positives. Love Tony and love this club.

Great news, as above, need to get Mitoma sorted!

It does but not in the context of contract length

I suspect that if we want to be a top 10 team regularly, we are going to have to at least start paying wages to support that.

Isn't this the complete opposite of what we're trying to do?

 

[Sheebo]

I'm a bit worried. A new contract is often a prelude to a big money transfer, no?

Serious? I think you may have been reading some of the fans’ odd views on the Caicedo thread! It makes an immanent move far far far less likely - you’ll still get the clickbait all Summer though..

Wow, that’s interesting with so much detail. And Paratici has the cheek to appeal his world ban.

Separately, Ronaldo was paid over one million euros a week, leading to ruin.

This is brilliant news. And shows just how switched on he and his advisors are.

Unless player is sicknote.

He's happy and wants to stay. Good lad.
