You are right. He is not on £50K a week. For some reason I have £70K a week in my mind. Sure I read it somehwhere.
You are wrong on your second point though. No way is he on £25K a week. He is a Premiership Striker!!

Zamora was reported to have said he wanted £90k to join us, Amit Bhatia has said he got a pay rise but far closer to the £45k he was on at Fulham. Seems to be thought he's on £50-60k.
Today despite an absolute shocker all round he was left warming the bench.

If the money situation could be sorted out , I don't think it's out of the question to have him on loan and maybe pay 50% of his wages. He does seem to be down the pecking order at QPR with Cisse , Mackie, Hoilett and Johnson all ahead of him.

as much as i love Zamora, reports that he is on 90k seem fantasy land. they have money at QPR, but aren't stupid and you dont need to double someones wages if they are unsettled and looking for an exit, as Zamora was once Jol came to Fulham.

I think you will find that whilst we do not have anyone on wages even approaching that, we do have one player on wages over half that
Chances of Bobby coming back on a permanent transfer this season..... not a lot... on a permanent transfer

Widely reported that he is I'm afraid. He's was on £45k at Fulham and didn't move for a pay cut.
There are some bonkers wages in the premier league. I seem to recall being told from the horses mouth what a Charlton reserve player was on we were trying to get on loan a few years ago. I was astounded.

It has been widely reported and commented by the board, the chairman and Gus that we have a wage cap. What that cap is, we don't know.
We do have a player in the team who is on 90K a week but we're only paying 10K of that.

Which is bollocks.
If we do have a wage cap, then its f***ing high for the championship.
If we are so poor, and the wages we pay are so shit, then why on earth are we having such hassle offloading Gus' out casts.
If Harley, Hoskins, Vincealot and Sparrow are squad players for a team that is in the lower reaches of the Championship wages wise, why has no one taken them......
Don't believe everything you hear come out of Gus' mouth!

I don't, as you will see if you read my post again as I quoted 3 sources.

The club the club and the club. As I say, don't believe everything you hear come out of Gus' mouth.

I will spell it out for you. The manager is not the club (fortunately) I have heard the chairman say it.

I will spell it out for you. Its bullshit. I think you will find the manger represnets the club. The chairman represents the club. And the board represent the club. Unless I'm missing one of your three sources, I'd say thats the club!! If we have a wage cap, its not 10k. Maybe you can claim its a wages cap, and some players are paid by a third party, but at least two players are paid well over 10k. One well well well over 10k.
And besides, if we are that poor in football terms, why are we struggling to offload the hangers on? I doubt its because we pay such shit wages that at least 3 or 4 are sitting tight!!!!!

You said the chairman represents the club. I pointed out it was a bit more than that.
