Wonder how the players feel?

[gripper stebson]

Wonder how the players feel about the £14.7m loss? Many of them moaned that we needed to strengthen while all the time pocketing their ludicrous wages... wages that are potentially ruining the club.

How do they feel? Not bothered I would imagine.

More concerned about which set of enormous white headphones to buy next!!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Not bothered. If another Club is prepared to pay them more - then they will be off. I am sure they will enjoy playing in front of a full stadium, and will enjoy the new training facilities. But as Neil Diamond sang "Cracklin' Rosie get on board".

Which players were moaning exactly?

Sure I read that a few had said we needed to strengthen...

so needed is moaning?

Sure I read that a few had said we needed to strengthen...

Andrews only - in the argus. Being a loanee it is possibly easier for him to be controversial.

It wouldn't surprise me, but I couldn't personally remember hearing any. Maybe somebody else could stick the ol' meat on the bones then?

Moaning players aside the point still stands... I wonder how they feel.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I doubt very much they care as long as the club can afford to pay their wages for the duration of their contract.

I think Walt has already given the definitive answer.

Depends if u interpret that as moaning

 

[Grombleton]

I think they'd be a little concerned, but not for the club - for their own security. There's little 'loyalty' left in football...it's still there, but less than, say 20 years ago or even further. The only time they would really complain about the finances is if it directly affected their wages.

 

[Racek]

I very much doubt they care. I dont think I would if I was in their situation. I mean, Brighton was not a club that most of them supported before they joined. Would I care if I was playing for QPR for a cople of years, getting paid well and the club could not run their finances properly. nah, dont think I would loose much sleep over it.

Andrews only - in the argus. Being a loanee it is possibly easier for him to be controversial.

Andrews has taken it on himself to be the players' spokesperson. This seems largely him planning for a future in the media once his playing days come to an end. What he says is often quite pertinent, but I suppose it's a little strange that it's a loan player who says the most. As captain, Greer doesn't really say much.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

They're probably feeling a little down over the financial structure of the club, but it's nothing a nice countryside drive in a 500k Eco-DESTROYER with your model girlfriend won't fix.

 

[Icy Gull]

Burke has said we will back Oscar in the loan market should it be required. Interesting the way it was put, maybe Oscar has quite a bit more say than some on here would have you believe.

The IF REQUIRED comment makes me wonder if Oscar would rather make do with what he has if he can't get exactly the type of player he wants. it doesn't sound like he is making waves about the lack of signings to me.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

The players just need to get on with doing what they are paid to do imo, I'm not that interested in what they think we need, Oscar is the man who makes those decisions.

Exactly. The club is hardly at the point of other Champ club's debts and I'd say the likes of Bolton's players would be feeling a bit more concerned.

Lets be clear, I very much doubt the players went out of their way to speak to Naylor. The conversations probably went- Naylor "Do you think the club should make a couple of signings to strengthen the squad?" Andrews "Yeah, I suppose". It was probably just Naylor trying to come up with stories, lets be honest now Gus has left and Oscar is as quiet as a door mouse it's an unenviable task.

The suggestion appears to be that the players are somehow to blame for their high wages!

It was the club that agreed to pay those wages - nobody forced them.
