I think their point was a 50% increase in your salary would be more influential on your life than for a footballer becoming that much richer. You only need to do a little digging to discover Alex Pritchard is absolutely minted at 23 years old, and has been pulling in vast wages for some time...

Those purely footballing reasons seem to be working out well for him so far.

Soon is not very soon ???

Yes, they're paying him more and there are no guarantees.

It may turn out he does well and holds down a place, we can only speculate. My opinion is that he has opted to break an agreement on a whim for more money (fair enough) but with fewer playing opportunities, which is the sad thing. None of this can do his reputation much good, hence why he's...

Conceptually, parachute payments are a good idea and serve a purpose in bridging a massive discrepancy in revenue between divisions. The problem is they are just far too high, and in my opinion, last far too long for what is perceived to be a consolidatory ‎period.

Been saying this for a while but people seem far too keen to point out what a shit season he had last year. At least that's somewhat credible reasoning, it's those that say he looked shit in the last game at the Amex whose opinion perplexes me, since every time he got the ball I cringed in my...

We didn't 'lose out to bigger clubs' we lost out to parachute payments.

This is why we look abroad and the lower leagues most of the time, and try to keep things quiet. It's harder for colossal pricks like norwich to scupper deals. Still, if this guy's head was turned so easily at the thought of a few more quid (if we are to believe he had already agreed terms...

Agree with the above. Will start playing on my mind if this isn't wrapped up by late afternoon.

One season??! ???

Plays for Burnley I think

If we end up paying the full 8m we'll no doubt be exactly where we want to be come May. I doubt we're even paying half that up front.
