I received today, courtesy of our beloved leaders largesse, my complimentary copy of the official matchday magazine for June. In it Sir Ken talks about players and agents and wages etc. He says that in January they offered a player who was on £4000 per week £7000 for his new contract. His agent requested £11000 per week and was told to get stuffed as the club didnt believe he was worth it. He also said that the total cost to the club with taxes etc to be paid for a salary of £11000 per week is £650,000 per year which is more than the gate receipts for a Championship home game. Now Johnson played a lot better last season than I ever thought he could but was he worth £11000 per week? Not in my opinion. Neither was Kilkenny if he was the one Mr. Bates was talking about.
I dont have much time for our leader and he could be telling us a pack of lies for all I know but somehow it has the ring of truth about it and personally I think he did the right thing in telling which ever player it was to take a hike. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
