Shame you don't do Twitter you'd be able to ask the source: Oh and because you don't look for info on Twitter here's more ? Which I guess is why you didn't even know the value of the bid ? Anyway, I'll leave you to post stuff we've all already read on our Twitter feeds. Edited February 6, 2022 by 86 Hair Islands Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod all now and that was maybe 26 years ago. Headline when he left us us. Every things gone mad since then. Think Scott Parker was getting 3 million a year at Chelsea whilst Veron was on 8. I can't remember them even playing. and I still haven't got over Paul Kitson missing a sitter at Wembley in the Play Off final game against Leicester or am I confusing him with somebody else? The following day as I awaited a train back up to Aberdeen as I moaned about the chances we missed, some Cockney dweeb whilst I was playing my mate on some arcade game in the station pub, told me to get over it, well I never have and never will, blooming over paid, frustrating footbal players!

There was a story in the national press at the time, Micheal Owen when on England duty, Playing cards with other England players on the coach and losing £50k. When asked about the story... he told then to mind their own business as it's his money. I normally have 1 bet a year, 1st game of the season Derby County to win, £50 on the nose, Not much luck i'm afraid, Hence the name ?

PistoldPete Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 1 hour ago, i-Ram said: I am not defending Rush either. There was always something a little ‘shifty looking about him ? and I think his treatment of Clough at the end was despicable. I do wonder though if Rush and Pearce for that matter were simply pawns (and ultimately fall guys), and the Candy King was the one making most, if not all, of the important decisions. The decent signings under Rush were all Clough's and you are right he did look shifty and he treated Clough badly. That was the best year though when maclaren added a bit of flair to Clough's team.

Inverurie Ram Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Unlucky Alf said: I left school in 1971, My 1st wage packet was £6.50, After insurence I came out with the huge some of £5.93, Gave my Mum £1.50 for board and the rest was mine. Then life dawned on me, I had to buy my own clothes ? I believe that Liverpool paid one of the highest win bonuses in the 70s, Just as much as their weekly wage ?, Jimmy Hill broke the professional footballer wage cap when threatening to strike. Read this...wow In January 2018, Mesut Özil signed a new contract with Arsenal Football Club. The German midfielder would enter a three-year extension with the Gunners worth approximately £55.9 million including an annual average salary of £13.975 million, equating to £350,000 per week.

BOB BIGGS Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 1 hour ago, i-Ram said: In my view he had just got us on the turn. Yes, McClaren might have done a few tweaks that elevated us a bit quicker, but after 3 or 4 years of rebuilding a club in (another) financial hole, with very little real money to spend, he had assembled a squad playing some good football, with players fully behind him. He deserved at least another year. To also sack him immediately after the Forest game was brutal. There is another matter I think that was spoken of a time, something personal in Clough’s life, but it escapes me Nick. Perhaps someone else can add their twopenneth, although we would be going remarkably off tangent if we turn this thread into a Nigel Clough debate. Going to enjoy my beer now. Will try to catch up again on Zoom soon ? His Mother had died after a short illness two months previously. Hence the feeling at the time (from some) that it was harsh and badly timed.

No. It was the highest paid for a defender at the time - £170k -but the overall record then stood with Martin Peters from West Ham to Spurs at £200k.

StaffsRam Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 22 minutes ago, Eddie said: John Harkes. Harkes’ miss was the offensive equivalent of Paul Williams suddenly forgetting how to head a ducking ball….? I still have no ducking idea what he was trying to do or how he failed to clear. Paul was a good player for us but that’s always what I remember him for now. Ram-Alf and Inverurie Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
