Nile Ranger - earning £30 per day (currently)

[clippedgull]

NEWCASTLE; BOUNDS GREEN, NORTH LONDON 13th August 2013: Troubled striker Nile Ranger has agreed to pay a £5,000 fine instead of doing community service because he is too busy finding a new club. The former Newcastle United ace, 22, was ordered to complete 120 hours of community service and nine months supervision by Newcastle Magistrates after admitting common assault in April. Ranger - who was released by Newcastle in March and is now earning just £30 a day - said he keeps missing probation meetings because he is touring the country meeting football chiefs and agents. Highbury Corner Magistrates have agreed to change it to a £5,000 fine because Ranger is desperately scouring the country for a club that will take him. -

You've not said who's paying him £30pw and for what.
What is 'bounds green' supposed to mean?
Where has the quote come from?

There's so much wrong with this thread!

Bounds Green is an area in Haringey, North London.

What is he doing to earn £30 a day? WHILST too busy travelling the country to find a club?

Sure Hastings would pay him bit more than that to play, perhaps £50 a day if he sorts himself out

 

[dougdeep]

I wish I got that much

Jobseekers?

Jobseekers?

That would be about £8 a day

Signed a one year deal with Swindon

Urgh. I was hoping he wouldn't find another club, but then maybe it is safer to have him playing football than, perhaps, expanding on his criminal career. I thought there was a good chance that he might be turning out for an HMP side - perhaps that is written in to his contract?

If he is/was earning £30 a day (somehow) - it might have been wiser to save his £5k and squeeze in the community service. A shame he was given such leeway. Manual labour was clearly beneath him.

He might have turned over a new leaf.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

So they sign him less than a week before he is due in court for charges of rape??

Just read on BBC that they have put in some rather stringent caveats regarding the case

Poison Ivy?

I see the part owner (?) of Swindon is a Luton Town fan.

£30 more than he's worth.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Jesus. I wonder what it would take for football to actually turn its back on a player?
