Can't see there being much left in the pot. We've lost watts and the SC has gone up a bit but we've signed bienek and with manu, connor and kelly presumably getting an increase plus probably westerman needing a bigger wedge it seems likely we're not far off full cap

Kelly a marquis player now isn't he ?

Some discount for Houghton as well.

But do agree we must be close to cap, really hope we have enough left for Westy or A.N. Other if his demands are too high or the club has a change of heart.

Fully agree that this squad, fit & with the youngsters another year on will be a real force next year, but not given u on this year yet.

You’ll no doubt promote some lads from the academy though.

Also, isn’t/wasn’t it just the top 25 earners who count on the cap? i’d guess one or two of those would be outside that group.

I think it is pretty futile trying to guess where you are with the cap. Firstly, you don’t have many of the relevant numbers. Secondly, the rules are so complicated and opaquely written, that I don’t think fans really know how the cap works. The clubs must get additional, presumably confidential, information because what is publically available would require a long FAQ sheet to be useful.

I suspect that the owners are happy for fans to read what they want in to the rules. If you want to believe that your club, which is spending more than most of its rivals, is successful mainly because of good management and developing young players - go ahead. Want to believe that your lack of success is due to the constraints of the cap, rather than an inability or unwillingness of your club to spend more? Again, you can do that.

Only the part of his wage above the threshold is discounted though. I’d guess, and certainly the general consensus on here seemed to indicate, that his original deal with you was well below that threshold.

Oh dear, a KR mod trolling when his own team can't even sign a receipt.

Did you actually read his post?






Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
