King Kevin Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Sat there yesterday woundering if the Derby players had thought about a whip round for their fellow professionals.I assume Bolton paid to fulfill the fixture ,travel etc. but I thought fair play to the Bolton players for a decent effort in the circumstances.

Doesn’t the PFA step in? I think we should count ourselves lucky,if Rowett was still manager some of Bolton’s players might have been on our payroll,Donaldson is pure Rowett.

Poynton ram Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Reckon the Bolton players should be putting their hands in their pockets and paying their supporters travel - least they could do as they were pretty poor. Seems a long time ago when they had the likes of JJ Okocha, Djorkaeff and Anelka turning out for them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Didn't I read last week that the EFL have given them (The club, not the players) an advance on this season's prize money, so they can meet their obligations until this "new buyer" stuff is sorted. I believe this included ensuring staff wages was now paid up to date (end of March). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the playoffs in that case then who needs them Couldn't find anything regarding prize money for the Championship, but you get around £2,000,000 per place in the Prem, so top could iwn £40,000,000 and bottom gets £2,000,000. Last year bottom place got around £100,000,000 for finishing last, which shows how worthless the prize money is to the Prem, as most of that is made up of the tv deals. Wouldnt have thought second to last would be getting much in the Championship though. Wouldn't have thought second to top would win that much either really.

It was an advance (Not sure for what, but it was £160k) "to ensure the Ipswich game went ahead"... so not related to wages, it seems... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47853058 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on JSA you really shouldn't be wasting £25-£35 watching your team. It's like the people I see dressed in tracksuits that haven't been washed in weeks, wasting £20 on lotto tickets & scratch cards. If you've got money to waste like that, you don't need a lottery win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
