It would also be great if they spelled his name correctly. Might help.

It would have made sense for the dickmeister to sign a new contract before these shenanigans with a certain buy out clause. Means he can go if a club meets our valuation but if not he gets more than the wage cap thingymajig.

 

[yellowbow]

Would be beneficial for Sunderland to loan Grigg out if there's a club willing to pay more than the £1300 he's 'costing' them a week.

It was probably debatable before, but there's no way we could afford him now. He’s basically just been priced out of any move to a club below the championship. Wycombe would be a good move.. ?

Edit: For clarification, Im not saying he was someone we should definitely have gone for anyway.

I don't think any team in the league is currently close to the upper-limit when current contracts go by the league average. If SAFC want to go for it this season and a club offered, for example, £2500 a week they would have more wages to play with than Grigg is 'costing' them.

Considering he was playing non-league football with Notts County before he returned to Scotland, I highly doubt it.

 

[Marked Ox]

My question is: are players currently under contract whose wage exceeds the league average, "grandfathered" in at the average to start with? So Taylor, Brannagan, etc would count as 1300/wk? If so, this would allow Oxford some room to maneuver and only those players signed today or later would have their salaries count in full. I thought I read this somewhere where existing contracts are capped at the average amount to start with and only movement after or contract renewals would then count in full. We would then have 1-2 years before the wage cap really restricts us.

Yes, any existing player on over the average L1 wage in the squad and or new player, similarly on a bigger salary, signed by the end of today are counted as on the average L1 wage for Salary Cap purposes.

Anyone heard if we’re back in for Will Grigg??

My favourite 'keeper of all time!

 

[RyanioBirdio]

Hemmings scored 15 goals for us in 16/17. It’s just that most of them were in the cups so are often overlooked or forgotten. Weird to think that if his goal against Newcastle had been against Northampton, his goal at Rotherham had been against Rochdale, and his hat trick against a full-strength Scunthorpe side in the tinpot had been in the league fixture instead, he would probably be thought of in a much more positive light. Despite the goals being no more valid and in some cases against lesser opposition in that scenario. Strange game, football.

Doubt he’s coming back, mind.

 

[OX14]

So squad size currently 21, 21x1300 is 27300, meaning we have £2070 a week left to play with, but any other fees on top of wages will be taken out of the pot, that's how i understand it. Some of the squad are u21 so it will me more.

You missed a zero off.

2.5 million ÷ 52 weeks = 48000 a week.

So squad size of 21 x 1300 (league 1 average wage) = 27300

48000 - 27300 = 20700 left of the wage cap

 

[RgYellows]

On paper the only way we can now sign a player over the age of 21 on a permanent contract is if our wage bill is under 2.5m per year, and I can’t see it with the players we have on the books. We must be very close. Even if Dickie is sold for several million pounds in the next few weeks, that seemingly won’t matter if we’re right at the threshold. We can’t reinvest that money or replace him if we’re already at or over budget.

All existing contracts are capped at the agreed divisional average. The only way we are at the cap is if we have a full squad of players that count towards the cap, who all earn at or above the divisional average.

We’ve got an awful lot of players on more than 1300 per week. An awful lot. We spent over 3m last season on what is classed as player wages. Divide that by as many as 30 players (and we didn’t have that many first teamers at once) and the average weekly wage of the squad was about 2k per week. Probably more because like I say, we didn’t have 30 players in the first team.

Hopefully a lot of money came in the form of loan contributions and we’ve got some wiggle room. But whatever happens it’s all a bit weird and fiddly and hard to predict.

Hmm, you could characterise him as a fox in the box, though a bit mangy, and a suitable understudy for Taylor. But he wouldn’t be cheap and I’d rather have a big fucker to give us different options.

It doesn't matter what wages any existing players are on, they all count as £1300. So on paper Sam Long is on the same as Cam Bran, Dan Agyei is the same as Matty Taylor etc. So there is plenty of wiggle room for more players to come in.

That’s a fair summary as I understand it.
