Played in the Championship with Rovrum last season. Ajose to Salford wouldn’t be a surprise, either.

Salford have signed Richie Towell 

I know they are new to league football but I wasn't expecting them to throw the towell in so early.   I'll get me coat!

while players are paid too much, I don't see much wrong with the rise myself. Villa gave out stupid contracts.

Not the players fault at all, to be on £70k a week and not having played for the club in nearly 2 years is awful, Villa fucked up big time there.

Player wages should be paid on appearances rather than base salary I reckon. By all means give matey boy 70k per week but give him a lower basic and he gets the full pay if he plays. This way players earn their way.

I’m sure it’s not THAT simple (injured players get penalised) but it’s a waste of a talent to be doing bloody nothing for such a big salary.

But it's still happening. The fact that the government and football authorities have continued to pass the buck and fail to deal with it for that period of time (longer in fact) makes it even more of a scandal, not something to be dismissed out of hand.
