Re: I Hope This Isn't True

Guessing Cunningham and Bennett are on close to 20k per week each, that's 2 million a year in wages between them.

I'd be tempted to offer Crewe £1 millon for the pair of fullbacks (Ng and Pickering), and assuming their wages would be less than 10k each then the deal pays for itself, we have 2 positions sorted, and some young players who might actually increase in value

Not a bad shout that.

Its not going to work that way unfortunately.

Those wages will be off the books and will go to the cost cutting we badly need with the loss of the parachute payments.

You're probably right - although from the sound of things, at least one of those wages is going right back on the books if we re-sign bennett, as I doubt we will negotiate much of a reduction (if any)

Hoilett will probably be one of our bigger earners too
