ramblur Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I agree with what you say but really can't see the extra wages coming cheap!One thing you don't seem to have factored in is the stadium naming rights, will be interesting to see how this is treated in the accounts.I know the wages will have risen,but I think it's probably been overhyped.None of us know what wages are being paid,and I've never trusted the 'reported to be' guff,because the 'reporter' always seems to be some ethereal character.Many say the contract extensions must have thrown up large pay rises -how do they know? Isn't £1k-£2k a week a pretty decent pay rise (not suggesting this was the kind of figure because,you guessed it,I've no way of knowing).I did mention the ipro in my original reply to your post.I've assumed the deal throws up £700k a year,and I notice that Sponsorship and Advertising income rose by £800k+ in 13/14,which does nothing to make me change this assumption.Consequently,I see little change in this income for the current year.The accounts will show the income due for the year,rather than the amount actually paid.If we received more than a year's payment up front,then 'deferred income' kicks in to keep the extra received out of that particular year.

TomBustler1884 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Confident Steve will leave in the summer. However, I'm also confident he is utterly focused on getting us promoted. I don't think he will confirm either way until we're done this season, or if Newcastle confirm carver isn't getting the job.no problem with that really. FOCUS ON THE GAMES, NOT THE GOSSIP.

Idiakez Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Oh ffs. Mac could burn a Sports Direct flag whilst having "I hate Newcastle" written across his head and some people still wouldn't believe him. There's very little we can do so let's move on and concentrate on supporting the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 ask him if he feels he owes the club some loyalty?afterall we signed as a player and he only managed to play 25 games....we gave him his first big break as a coach and he fooked off we offered him a route back into management after his shambles at Forest and yet he doesn't seem committed to his new improved contract....etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 McClaren basically suggested that through a combination of superstition, integrity and respect, he will NEVER discuss another job, not even to rule it out. He went on to say that he'd be pissed if someone ruled themselves out of the Derby job whilst he was in charge here, a) because it's a great club and b) I'm in the job. He admitted there was an offer for him to go in the 'Winter' but he decided he didn't want to go. Maybe 5 or 6 years ago, he'd have gone in a flash, but he loves it here. He said he has NO intention of leaving until the board told him otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the club show him loyalty if he were rubbish?What happened after the 25 games? Did he ask to leave,or was he just flogged? (I can't remember the answer to that)We benefited from the abilities he showed as a coach,the same abilities that got him the bigger job.See my opening line.

Cam the Ram Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Did Barker **** in McClaren's coffee or something? If we manage to beat Millwall and other results go our way so we go into the Reading game with nothing to play for, why would he not allow our club captain a few minutes off the bench to say a final goodbye?

Both McClaren and Rush answered this. I don't think we know the true level of fitness of Barker, apparently he cannot train properly and has to wear a special boot still. I think they worry about him regressing in his recovery if he plays for Derby this season. But they are recommending him to two clubs (maybe Burton and Oxford), and they hope he plays at Professional level again, but he's so far away.

Fans are quick to boo players, demand managers be sacked the moment they go wrong but then cry loyalty when a player/manager has the opportunity to leave for a better club.

RLACML Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 What are SM and SR wearing?..... Hope they are both wearing Polo Shirts and they didn't ask some fan in Edinburgh for permission.Now now Inverurie, I hope that's not a pop at the forum fashion correspondent. If you complete my lynx survey, I'll send you my starter pack in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 What is all this tripe about us saving McClarens career?Has everyone forgotten that he was with a team that got promoted until we poached him?!We gave him another shot at management but he certainly owes us nothing for that.

In what way did I sound angry? And I've not seen Barker agree with McClaren about him not playing ..... based off his tweets about wanting the chance to prove himself and his wives' tweets, he would love to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
