Do they have some sort of a role play where Big Sam asks for a back hander? There's no dressing up involved (arab sheik stylee)! Well I don't think so. They ask him has he any money and then ask him if it's honestly earned. He says yes, yes and we're all okay. ?

Gringo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It will not just be the Spanish boy, all persons having a significant interest in the club have to be declared and checked out, which is why I think the EFL will not approve this sale. After the Wigan fiasco the EFL will be super vigilant and Trevor Birch is no mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestKentRam Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 42 minutes ago, Red Ram said: This is exactly my concern too. Not sure whether this is joining the dots or 2+2=5 but this latest report in the context of the recent Collymore tweet that "we could go" and the subsequent Natalie Jackson report that staff at the club were "scared to death of what would happen next" is at the very least consistent with the possibility that Mel might feel he has no alternative but to put us into adminstration if the takeover doesn't go through before the wage bill after this one is due. I agree. It feels to me that the report is not so much about the players getting paid on time this month, rather the hint that if the takeover doesn't go through then it could be the last month this is going to happen.

IlsonDerby Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Come on then 1.2m a month, let’s have a guess who’s on what then. Roughly 300k a week. Who’s on what. Reckon the big earners will be Lawrence, Waghorn, Davies and perhaps Wisdom (judging on the season we signed him). Then just below them I’m having Bielik and Jozwiak. Can’t think who else would be earning the big cheddar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why he deleted his tweet imho. I wouldn't trust collymore on anything Derby related as he's massively biased, just as much as I would believe Mel Morris on anything...

Using crude guesses... £20k+ = Carson, Wisdom, Davies, Clarke, Malone, Bielik, Lawrence £15k = Jozwiak, Waghorn, Marriott £10k = Marshall, Byrne, Forsyth, Shinnie, Kazim, Gregory, Roberts £5k = Roos, Buchanan, Bird, Knight, Sibley, Edmundson, Mengi, Baningime, Ibe, Jozefzoon. That gives a total of £305K so not too far off. Add academy players on professional deals and it's only another £10-20k Rammy03 and Carnero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t imagine jozefzoon left a London club on a £3 million transfer to be paid £5,000 per week - plenty of reports out there that Marshall signed for what he was on at wigan £12,000 per week and Marriott at £18,000 per week whilst I tend to agree on most of what you have said. - more savings in the summer it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication being we still pay his wages. Jozefzoon signed from Brentford who had one of the smallest wage bills in the league at the time. Rather than stating the wages of every individual player, I've grouped them into approximate figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to meet Trevor Birch last weekend and when the conversation hit on Derby County - quite correctly - he wouldn't talk about the takeover. Like you said, he is no mug and the EFL will be doing things properly. It'e worth remembering that, as an organisation, they are operating with a greatly reduced staff due to Furloughing needs so this might take longer than normal to complete.
