Rangers have been blessed with some excellent defenders over the years. Parker was international class, a genuine Rolls Royce player. This was still in the era where players like Fashanu could get away with elbows and all sorts.
Parker was usually a sweeper in the back 5 and we typically man marked, where Maddox was probably the best I've seen at this.
I think Parker could have played anywhere, and as another poster has said, probably should have moved to Europe, where the sweeper system was prevalent at the time, he would have won everything.
Yeah, if the club do the deductions from paye then they probably save on the income tax they would lose anyway, so that £200 is more like £100 after tax, if that makes sense.
I remember Zlatan moaning that Man Utd charged him for taking things out of a minibar while staying overnight for a game. What was he on, £250k p/w?!
I'm pretty sure Asmir could run to the £200 per week for giving his shirt away, I'm struggling to find a violin to play for him, wasn't he one of the top earners last year by all accounts?
Do football clubs make that much money from shirt sales though? I remember watching a TiFo video on YouTube and it was a surprisingly small % for a PL club's income
I thought Zamora had earnt another year after THAT playoff final. I remember him chanting "Four more years" after the game on the 'Four Year Plan'
I don't think an extended contract was warranted, but bearing in mind he used to get cortizone injections before ea game just to make it through. In the same era as players like Routledge, who didn't fancy it cos my legs ache from yesterday....
A lot of time for Bobby, a bit like Frey, in that his contribution shouldn't really be measured by goals alone
No problem at all with signing on long terms for three young players with limited Championship experience. I doubt any of those are top earners at the club and would have been restrictive to the budget had we got relegated into L1.
This is a great example of the business model the club is aiming for and giving out long contracts to players with no re-sale value is what we are trying to move away from.
--I like JD, I think he is a good player, but if we didn't want to sign a long term deal last season, then the club has to sell him now, rather than let him run his contract down and walk away on a free, even if its just as a message to the other players
I'd say players like Macca, who play most of their football at one club, are like hens teeth. Most footballers will be more than happy to move sideways, or lower, if it meant a pay rise.
A lot of them don't even care if the move means they might sit on the bench.
I think footballers are just like most of us and inherently selfish. Maybe some are better at kissing the badge etc?
