Tyler Durden Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Wonder if we have actually been paying the guy or he's been on some form of nominal wages. Signing a player when the club knew he wasn't ready to play would appear crass even for us. If we've been really cute we would have him on a pay as you play structured contract. Let's hope so.

Leeds Ram Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 As much as I feel for Jordan Ibe the club financially is taking on water and it doesn't seem like we're really in a position to support someone who cannot for whatever reason do their job. Ultimately, the kindest thing for him may be to release him and allow him to not be under pressure of being on a contract but focus on himself, his health and getting back to his best as sometimes that is what is needed. The situation as it stands you would think cannot really go on beyond this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a number of people on this forum earning more than Ibe is at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that means we are in the presence of millionaires or Ibe is being paid nominal wages. Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s on a very low wage - His contract is almost all incentive-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so pleased to see Jordan back and from a human point of view it is lovely to see him being positive, I hope he can continue his progression in life during difficult times which is bigger than football. From a football perspective though Jordan looks a million miles away from being what the club need and maybe it would be better to let him find another path if he still wants to continue in the game. Looking at Jordan the few times I've seen him I'll be amazed if we as fans ever see him in a first team game for us again his pace used to be electrifying and looking at the recent videos and under 23 appearances he doesn't look like the same player. This is so unfortunate but it happens and both parties have to be realistic about it and make the right decisions and do what is best for the future for all concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really,according to salarysport website he is on 10 grand a week not bad for being on the sick im sure all our bosses would pay us full money for doing zero work. Im not blaming Ibe and he as to deal with his demons but its just another joke of a decision we took to even entertain such a contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To then use that to bash the club when the reality is likely VERY different is a bit wayward... I've heard numerous times it's almost entirely incentive-based so he probably hasn't cost much at all... Given those circumstances, we should all be getting behind him and hoping he can work his way into the first team. He showed with this goal the class is still there so i'm keeping my fingers crossed he can come good for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I think it is very crass to use his salary as a stick to beat him / the club with while he is going through what he is going through. Would be very disappointed if the club didn’t stand by him and support him through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Was watching one of those digest videos Ryan Conway (Athletic) does, seem to recall him saying Ibe’s contract is mostly incentive based. Probably a more trustworthy source than some rogue website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
