Wage decreases for not qualifying to the CL

If correct, this will be a blessing in disguise - might help us get rid of one or two.

Does it mean we might win a game again?

Fred's on £175k per week?

Player Wage -25%
Alexis Sanchez 500k 375k
Paul Pogba 300k 225k
Romelu Lukaku 250k 187k
David de Gea 200k 150k
Fred 175k 131k

Recokon each and every one of those will be on the phone to agents tonight.

Fred calls his agent.
"Mate, be glad that you're still getting paid"

Actually, that could be the scenario for all of them.

Don't like it? Bye. Just a shame there aren't more on the list.

Right there is a saving of nearly 20m p/a.... and that’s just five of the useless £#%&!ers.

It’s not a wage decrease though is it, it’s money they won’t receive from playing in the CL.

It is a decrease if that’s what they were earning this year.

It’s not wages though its bonuses. It’s a complete non story.

I would imagine that many of them don't care about the loss (or no bonus). As long as they can dab on their Instagram and buy the latest "whatever they desire", they don't give a flying £#%&!.

There’s enough. At least in the kompany, van dijk mode. There’s plenty if you have the will to sign them instead of just looking at how a signing will affect commercial opportunities.

It’s not bonuses. It’s a reduction.

Don't Adidas drop their financial commitment to us by 10% by not being in the CL too?

No.

Oh. Two consecutive seasons will see a 20% drop according to the telegraph.

I stand corrected.
