Call me a sceptic, but am I the only one wondering if this was released now to divert attention away from the speculative FB comment this morning?

We signed the Thompsons (good news, but news we all expected anyway) and we're paying Rooney £400k a year.

Surely that couldn't have been it?

A bit harsh I think, BBC wilts forced the Rooney story out and Jed was forced to comment is my take on it.

If you think that amount is scary, you don't want to know the amount Roberts is on as our highest earner.

£900 a week less. He is no longer our highest earner. This is what is fucking up all contract negotiations.Flint and Macca both feel they are worth the same as Rooney

Until I see actual evidence that we are due to pay him £8k a week.. I don't believe it
Adver quote is "it is believed that the contract in question, which was agreed by the previous regime at the club, would cost Town around £8,000 per week including agents' fees and living expenses"

Even with Paolo / JW's excesses I don't think they would have sanctioned that before seeing him play for whole period of loan?

And probably rightly so. Surely potential signings are going to have similar thoughts as well?

Can only echo what on earth was di canio and co thinking giving a player they hardly played such a whopping contract! It beggars belief a little.

If there are two or three earning this much, it's going to be a piece of piss hitting the new budget.

To be fair, Sam Mousehead has said that 8K is full inclusive cost to the club, not singularly player salary.

Not that that excuses it mind.
