McDermott Appointed

[Focher]

Madejski is negotiating the sale of the club, thats why he is not being appointed!!!!

Who is he negotiating with?

I do not have a clue, its the only explanation i can come up with for not appointing McDermott or a nother, i can't believe they would just sweep the matter under the table without reason.

[TFF]

Ambivalent about his appointment as I think any manager, even the stars with fantastic track records, would find it equally, if not more, difficult to turn around our season given the 'backing' from above.

Just the three signings in this window of course. Two on Premiership wages.

If we go down it will be the fault of the players, coaching staff and management.

Whilst I agree the sentiment I'd be extremely surprised if we were paying 100% of these guys' wages. Much more likely that we're contributing an amount that fits within our pay structure.

Hard to know. I believe it usually works that the club that benefits pays the most, so where a club wants a player to go out on loan they pay most of his wages (O'Dea was probably heavily subsidised by Celtic for example). If it's a question of a club begging to be allowed to borrow a player then they inevitably pay a bigger chunk. In this case why would Blackburn stump up significant amounts for his wages when he looks to have no future there ?

[Hoop Blah]

Perhaps they want to get any amount of his wages off their wage bill?

Perhaps they need him to be in the shop window to help get rid of him (depending on when his contract us up)?

Perhaps there is something going on with him that means they'd rather he wasn't around the squad?

Perhaps they just want to look after their player and keep him fit and/or help him find a club at the same time?

I certainly don't think we'll be breaking any wage constraints to get in a couple of steady eddy heads.

Who knows.

But I suspect we'll be paying rather more for him than we would pay for a lower division loan....

I recall there is a rule that states what the smallest amount that can be paid is - I'm sure Platy or Stranded will know !!

And of course if we have no money then clearly by adding 3 heads to the roster we'll be increasing our wage bill....

Don't think there is any rule on minimum contributions as I'm sure there was something in the past where we picking up all the wages for one of our loanee's (possible one or all of those at Bournemouth when they were in the mire).

I'd say it is pretty obvious we'll be paying more for the two Premiership players we've loaned in than some clogger from League 2, but that doesn't mean we're paying them 'Premiership wages' as you put it.

well duh!

we had no money, before the "cup run" and before the loss of rodgers and his two coaches.
now its a bit different

Indeed, paying off the long contracts of those who went must have helped no end !

Not sure what the 'duh' is for. Except to show you haven;t got any idea what is being discussed !!!

Stable doors and horses? What's more the replacement doors will still be costing a fraction of the silver ones that were flogged off by the tailors.

I certainly won't be shouting for the heads of the players, coaching staff and management.

[Ian Royal]

How many signings is that this season? 10 isn't it?

If we do go down this season, it would be extremely difficult to blame either manager, given the antics of the Scissor Brothers.

Are you serious? If we go down its down to Rodgers and McDermott, they are responsible for team selection and getting results.

Blame the man who took away the tools to do the job and did not replace them with the like.Brians doing a good job considering what hes hadt to work with.Judge him from now on now hes got a couple of his own signings in

Probably Henry v ,before the Battle of Agincourt.

Where are you going with that?

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Madejski is in Barbados till Wednesday so cannot imagine him not being around for the necessary photoshoots etc

He's in Tenerife.

explain how on earth we could have kept those players, whether we paid them the money or not, and also explain which players would have come to a championship club as good as them.

To blame Madejski is ridiculous, we have a good enough squad to at least challenge the top half.

No. I'm sure you'll be carrying on your one man crusade against SJM, whilst forgetting any facts or reality !!

We are a the bottom because the management and coaching staff have not done their job properly so far this season. We have spent over £3m on new players,and also have the added talent of Bertrand, Sigurdsson and Church. To blame Madejski in my view is total bollocks.

[PEARCEY]

As he hasn't been appointed today shouldn't this thread be in"Unfounded rumours" now?/ Spacey mode off.
