Tommy_Fent Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) if we payed players the sort of obscene money that Sheff Utd, Huddersfield and MK Dons pay their players and yet they're is now a very realistic chance of some of those players still coming to places like BP next season. It makes you wonder sometimes if the game has gone mad and how this affects Latics Edited April 28, 2012 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisbrogan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Agree with you. History has shown that this kind of spending isn't sustainable and they're gambling on success....again. Difference is that this time around, if any of these clubs gets into a position where they could potentially go to the wall then the sympathy will be all dried up. Makes me wonder if the fans are concerned about the sums spent or if they just lap it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 A few might sound notes of concern, but just like us the majority would complain about lack of ambition, signing unproven or past-it players, not investing, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I think fans need to ask themselves if they would rather have a club, or promotion. I would rather fight relegation year after year than lose Latics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyOAFC Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It's been shown time and time again that you can't simply buy your way out of this division. I think these clubs, Huddersfield especially, are learning this lesson the hard way. There's no sympathy from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Didn't someone say on here that Hudd will have to reduce their spending quite dramatically this season if they dont go up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Alan Smith (ex Leeds, Man U, Newcastle) was set to return to Leeds on loan this season. Leeds couldn't afford (/didn't want to pay) the £6k/week wage asked of his parent club. MK Dons happily took him there. Also Luke Chadwick is on £4k/week to sit on the bench.

Roger Ritchie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 PS I have a friend who works with Huddersfield Town. He said that one of the board members told him that there is a player there on £16k a week. He followed this announcement with the quote: 'You know it is bad when the reality is worse than the rumours' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 With the wage cap, if the wages are not sustainable, it will be rained in anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If Stevenage where to win the play offs and go up the looks on the faces of some these players and directors at these clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He followed this announcement with the quote: 'You know it is bad when the reality is worse than the rumours' From my Hudds contact; that now needs to read "was a player"..........It was Joey Gudjonnson; but he's finally moved on after settling his contract last week. They tried to move him at the start of the season; but he wouldn't settle up his contract and no club would touch him at those wages. Unbelievable Jeff.
