Stephen Ward deal NOT done (yet?)

[Triggaaar]

Pretty clear I think

 

[Bladders]

When's he going to sing his contract?

when the lyrics are printed out for him

 

[Albumen]

*looks at watch*

*looks at watch*

23 hours, 54 mins to go...

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

I agree, just hope he dont turn out to be our archilies heel

Regardless, it would take a Herculean effort to sign him.

If we pulled it off it would be, in baseball parlance, a Homer.

Edit; Still, if we don't get any joy we could always Troy again.

I gather it is TBs way of saying 'thankyou' to a few people who work hard on behalf of the club, but receive little or no financial reward.

Kos he is a genuine nice man.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Maybe the OP will extend the time scale again and we can all dream a little longer

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Oh and Chicksen will be just fine if we want top half, but not if we pushing for promotion due to consistancy I'm guessing......that said I'd be more than happy with top half if we develop the likes of Walton, Chicksen, Dunk, JFC, Ince, March as think they all got potential and that's without bench guys like Maxi and Monakana. Not been as optimistic about youth in 25 years and the acadamy isn't even the direct cause of these players

 

[Bladders]

Dont think he's going to sing by the looks of it

 

[Postman Pat]

Seems the transfer fee is the sticking point now, maybe a deal has already been done with Ward ( and a medical completed).....

Ward is in limbo as Brighton and Wolves haggle over a transfer fee, while Doyle is left to ponder if QPR will ask him to return to Loftus Road after his successful loan spell ended there in May.

Shame, fancied him to do a nice rendition of 'sweet home Alabama'.

So it may come down to just how much haggling there is to do. Hopefully the valuations are not poles apart.

If for example the fee Wolves want is 200k...

If we don't sign Ward for a week, they lose 13k in his wages. We gain a week of Ward's wages ( hypothetical 12k ).

So already in 1 week, the albion have gained 12k, and Wolves lost 13k.

Surely a deal can be done here - even a 200k fee seems relatively small in terms of each team's gain / loss per week.

FFS. Can't we just get on with it? I can't believe that Wolves want that much for Ward. This pre-season is getting more and more frustrating as each day goes by.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I can't believe that Wolves want that much for Ward.

Totally agree.

Wolves want shot of him, we want him back, and they're quibbling over a transfer fee for him.
He could quite easily turn round to Wolves and state that he's not going anywhere until his contract runs out and they'd have to pay him £13,000 a week for another season.

They're still receiving parachute payments, so they can't be that hard up...... or can they?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Let's take Doyle too!

I like your thinking.

On a kind of BOGOF offer, you mean?

Does anyone know how clubs pay their players?

We always talk about how much a player gets paid a week, but do they get paid every week i.e. 52 weeks of the year.

Or are they paid on a pro-rata basis i.e. just during pre-season and the season proper, so no payments from the end of the season 'til they return for pre-season?

Just curious!
