Title: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: News Monkey on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 07:00:02 Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins
SWINDON will not be saddled with paying out high wages in League Two, with the club having made provisions in all player contracts to account for the financial implications of relegation. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/9007493.Salaries_will_reflect_league_status___Watkins/?ref=rss Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: guy66 on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 10:35:26 On Saturday I overheard a player's wife/girlfriend saying "he" wanted to get out because of the pay-cap at the club in League two..Not sure how much of a drop it is but she was adamant he was leaving..

Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 10:48:30 If you don't want to be constrained by the League Two pay cap, don't get relegated into League Two. Simple really.

Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Arriba on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 15:13:37 it will tell us alot about the players who want to stay.the rest who want to go can all fuck off
Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 15:15:52 Doesn't this have a knock on effect with Cuthbert, where if we don't offer him a contract as good as the one he's on he can fuck off for no compensation? Or have they changed the rules on that?

I had a nightmare we started the season with 6 players and had to play the youthteam Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 15:29:04 I had a nightmare we started the season with 6 players and had to play the youthteam That could be the scenario for Saturday at Tranmere! Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: bigbobjoylove on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 16:21:56 Doesn't this have a knock on effect with Cuthbert, where if we don't offer him a contract as good as the one he's on he can fuck off for no compensation? Or have they changed the rules on that? Exactly right. We need to offer him the same terms or better than he's on at the moment. Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 16:22:57 Not if he has a clause that says his wage will be reduced though.
Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 16:30:14 I think we know there'll be a stampede of players still under contract trying to get out....the only problem is those who don't actually go, because no club want them.

Exactly. And didn't somebody say we had an option to extend his contract a la Douglas?Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 17:14:47 I always read STFU as stuff you, even though I know it means shut the fuck up. Isn't that strange? Yeah, I do the same too. Same with IIRC (Erk) and IMO. Oh, and if someone mispells "the" as "teh", I read it as teh. I hate internet abbreviations.

Do you wish we had shown a bit more fight in home games 6 weeks ago now lads? Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 17:42:23 Reality bites. Corrected for you.Do you wish we had shown a bit more fight in home games 6 months ago now lads? Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 17:46:26 It'd be the fastest most of them have moved all fucking year Indeed....apparently Wray is going to talk to each player individually (and presumably their agents) and gauge their plans. I suspect we wont be seeing too many of these next season... Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: guy66 on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 18:31:20 Ok well who was it I think it as Sheehan's Mrs...only reason I say that is she said to another woman "he has just text to say he is dropped"..he is the only senior player not injured, on the bench, out of contract who fitted the criteria.. Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 19:26:05 Exactly. And didn't somebody say we had an option to extend his contract a la Douglas? I wonder if the option to extend is at his original wages or at post-relegation wage levels. Same as the compensation and contract rules, do we have to offer him one as good as how it ended with clauses taken into account, or do we have to offer him one equal on how it is at the end? Does it take into account clauses or is just on basic wage. What about bonuses? Do these u-24 player compensation rules actually work with the complexity of modern contracts? Does anybody know? I was about to ask if anybody cares, but when he just wanders off in June on a free, then I'm sure the questions will come up. Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 19:35:45 Say for example he was on 4k a week last season(oops this season) we can offer him a contract say with a 25% reduction then we have carried out our side of the bargain.My understanding is that if we offer it and he refuses it then we are entitled to some kind of fee.
Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 19:49:21 Say for example he was on 4k a week last season(oops this season) we can offer him a contract say with a 25% reduction then we have carried out our side of the bargain.My understanding is that if we offer it and he refuses it then we are entitled to some kind of fee. Oh I thought we had to offer a contract of equal value. Not just offer a contract with whatever. Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 19:58:38 Oh I thought we had to offer a contract of equal value. Not just offer a contract with whatever. I'm only guessing, but it would make most sense if we were required to offer him a deal equal to what he would have been on had his contract lasted another year, that is to say that any relegation wage drop in his current contract should be translated into the requirements for the new offerTitle: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: flammableBen on Thursday, May 5, 2011, 20:14:59 I'm only guessing, but it would make most sense if we were required to offer him a deal equal to what he would have been on had his contract lasted another year, that is to say that any relegation wage drop in his current contract should be translated into the requirements for the new offer Which I agree makes sense. Which in my mind would make the actual rules likely to be the complete opposite. Title: Re: Adver News: Salaries will reflect league status - Watkins Post by: Only Me on Saturday, May 7, 2011, 09:49:41 Which I agree makes sense. Which in my mind would make the actual rules likely to be the complete opposite. The wages will match the lower league status, otherwise the 25% reduction is useless.

Yeah I think he is entitled to his revised (relegation) wage that was triggered as part of the 'relegation wage deduction' clause. I think he knows that already and is pretty commited to the club by what he has said. So hopefully the club will offer him a new contract.... |
