Whitts

[Sloop_Jon_Bee]

I was told by a mate yesterday that he was on 42k per week. Must admit I was surprised, and would like to get some clarification on that. I like Whitts, and feel he has been better this season than he has in last two, but that seems a lot money.

Doesn't sound right.

Doesn't sound right.

I don't think it is

It's probably just over half that amount. However, even circa 25K is a lot for someone who is becoming increasingly a bit part player for us. As I said earlier, I don't know what he has left on his contract but I wouldn't be too surprised if this was Whitts' last season with us, given the noises coming from the club about still having to trim our wage bill.

When I read "But the Bluebirds boss says he won't set any deadline for the 97-goal hero to make his mind up over staying in South Wales, admitting the set-piece specialists deserves the respect not be rushed.", I took it as he's been offered a new much crappier contract.

Bollox.

Kenwynne was our biggest earner after we came down and he was ludicrously on £37k a week (Thanks Ole)

I imagine Whitts is on a large contract but I would hazard a guess its probably less than half of that and his next contract offer is probably half of that again

Not that I have the foggiest what his wages are nor do I care - he deserves far more respect from us
Don't hear about Swansea fans bitching about what Britton earns

Why do you say that Kenwynne Jones' wages were ludicrous (Iagree, they were) but you don't care what Whitts is on?

The club needs to cut its cloth accordingly, not sure we can any longer justify paying players above 20K a week when they seldom play (Ben Amos being another!).

It might be because he's a club legend who's shown immense loyalty to us when he could have moved elsewhere.

For the record, I am not bitching about what he earns. I just thought it wasn't right and asking for some sort of clarification/thoughts on it. I would like to see him stay and hope he breaks Dwyer's record of appearances.
