The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

[TCO]

Rooney looks set to sign a new contract at United worth £300k-per-week until 2018.

Ha, that means he'll be 33 and on £300k a week. Good luck with that!

That seems like a situation in FM where a player who's already peaked comes to me and looks for a stupid contract, only to be told to fuck right off, gets sold swiftly and never sees anywhere close to that money!

[Gazz]

When I'm President of FIFA I'm going to introduce a salary cap of £300,000 per year.

That'll just mean clubs make massive profits and so transfer fees and signing on fees/loyalty bonuses will go through the roof.

Steep. Very steep. Glad he's staying though.

[MDK]

Steep? It's fucking vertical.

[brenchill]

Ridiculous. Undeserved.

No it doesn't you silly boy. I'll ban sponsorship (because it makes the shirts look ugly) and drastically lower gate prices. And make all games free to air on BBC.

And signing fees and loyalty bonuses will be banned.

Easy.

You'll have to perform full checks on club staff to make sure the player's wives aren't on £7m a year wages as consultants or something.

[METALMAN]

But £7m a year wages is clearly in excess of the salary cap. :/

[Crybaby Bunting]

No it isn't

£300k x 52 = £15,600,000

[Jimmy]

So your powers as FIFA President can see you implement a wage cap on the world?

[EddieG]

Read his initial post, the cap is 300k per year.

[METALMAN]

No it isn't

I said £300k per year, you daft twat.

Not the world. Within football, you daft twat.

[METALMAN]

Okay, thanks for confirming that my original point is correct. :/

"Club staff" are employed by the club, you know. It's why they are called "club staff".

I said £300k per week year, you daft twat.

It helps when you confirm the correct thing.

[METALMAN]

Shut up.

Consultants aren't club staff, you daft twat

[METALMAN]

Look at what Ellis said:

You daft twat.

I never said consultants were club staff at any point, you daft twat.

[Mad Jack]

You're all daft twats at this point to be honest.

[METALMAN]

Yes
