Pretty sure I'm right in thinking that makes Adam Rooney one of our highest paid players of all time?

It’s scary to think that Rooney hardly got a look in under PDC last year.

And a record he'll probably keep for a long time to come.

Can't see him agreeing to much of a cut (I wouldn't).

The boy had better score lots and lots and lots of goals next season. Quite probably the highest paid player in the league by far. No pressure like.

So I wonder whether that means we will have to sell Caddis to Brum for free in order for them to offer a 1-2 year contract to Rooney so that we can get out of the contract?

Good old Jezza Wray, bet Paolo fluttered his eyelids and Jezza authorised that contract in a heartbeat.

He made 6 starts and 11 sub appearances under Di Canio and 9 starts and 7 sub appearances under MacDonald yet Di Canio offered him a contract on £8k a week.

Utterly bizarre.

He didn't play a single minute of football between Nov 20th - Feb 5th.

 If true, then it does explain why we'll need to move on a good number of players yet.

So in one year Rooney's contract is worth 1/2 Yeovil's entire playing budget from last season?

Players are being offloaded just so we can pay Rooney's wages.

Not blaming him, not blaming the board . . .

BUT it does show the staggering financial mismanagement of the previous lot.

It does make me feel that bit  more sympathetic towards the new lot.

For Christ's sake £8k a week!!!!

To think Ferry was released because the wages on his extra year would have gone up to £2,800 per week.
