I repeat, the life lesson is to not spend money that they’ve signed a contract to be paid?! Absolutely nothing wrong with spending that money, it’s guaranteed income. You spend what you can afford to. No 19 year old is going to have vast amounts of money in savings yet, it builds over time. The only “life lesson” here is to not trust Mel Morris.

You might laugh, but not every player in our senior squad has been on 25k a week for the last ten years. Many of them only signed their first big contracts in the last year. I don’t suspect they’ve been saving yet, I certainly wouldn’t have been. Missing two months wages is going to have a big impact potentially on their likely very large bills. ?? Doesn’t matter if you’re on £100 a week or £10,000 per week. Not being paid for two months for your services is absolutely despicable behaviour by all involved (hang your heads in shame) As a Ram I am ashamed of our Multi Millionaire owner for letting this rumble on for so long again. These lads are not being treated with the respect they deserve, yes the performance on Saturday was abysmal but the club should ensure all contractual obligations are met regardless.

I very much suspect the likes of Sibley, Knight, Buchanan and Bird are. They’re no longer academy players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure they will be in the pay band of a senior player though so suspect they have been paid in full. Either way its not really a reason for poor performances of the first team though is it, considering Sibley & Bird have hardly played and Knight has been our standout player.

I’m not convinced, I thought the original quote said Academy players had been paid. They certainly aren’t academy players, and I can’t see them being treated differently to the rest of the squad. Not really saying it’s a reason for poor performances, just saying that players won’t be as unaffected as some have suggested. And I’m sure it has some level of impact on their mental state, though we can’t put poor results purely down to that of course. We’re simply not good enough, not much more to it. FWIW I was going to make this point about Buchanan, because he really didn’t look himself on Saturday, and may be one of those most affected.

IslandExile Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 As unsettling as the takeover must be for everyone and not being paid is shocking, I'm not convinced that was the reason for the poor display against Rotherham. Some of the squad may have actually had Covid. Even if not, time away from the training ground would've had an impact, no matter how much they try to train at home. Hopefully, they'll be back in the swing of things for the Bournemouth game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we performed on saturday looked to me more as a result of the covid break, lack of training etc. We were just sluggish and leggy all over the pitch. The effort levels were there, we just weren't at it. Though I guess we'll see in the Bournemouth game exactly where we're at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
