RiversideRed 1,216 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) According to reports today with Derby Mel Morris paid Steve Gibson £3m compensation. I think it was @Lurker who said we made around £1.8m from the FA Cup game with Manchester United. How much did we make from the Tottenham & Chelsea cup games? I know we donated our gate money from the Chelsea game to the Ukraine appeal but assume we still got the TV money from that match. The total amount made should cover some transfer fees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure we won’t get anything near £1.8m from Man U game. I know we got 45% and MU revenue per game is about £4m, so I can see where figure comes from. This includes all revenue though - gate receipts, programmes, food and drink, hospitality tickets, etc. They make a fortune from hospitality and food and drink. Only the basic gate receipts get shared, so if you charge £150 for a lounge and dinner ticket and match seat, only the match ticket basic price - say £50 to £60 - gets included in the gate receipts for sharing. MU keep all the hospitality receipts and food and drink etc. Also, the expenses of stewards and security, plus police etc all gets deducted before any sharing. I would reckon on £2m to be shared - around £900k for us from that game. Maybe £1.5m overall given we donated the Chelsea gate receipts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Don't disagree, hence I said earlier if we get offered our money back for McNair we'd take it. We can get an improvement at CB imo with cash to spare. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Something else to consider about McNair is he is possibly/probably the biggest wage earner at the club now? Signed for a decent fee when we were still splashing the cash a little. Link to post Share on other sites

Signed for a decent fee when we were still splashing the cash a little. Signed a contract extension under Warnock when we were not splashing the cash as much. Will still be one of highest earners but not anything club cannot handle. Plus he probably the most “wilder type” player we have in terms of suitability to this system and his versatility. I think it will take a bid of £7m for us to consider selling him given he about to enter his prime years. Link to post Share on other sites

His versatility is very useful but primarily as a central defender I think the most important job is being able to defend well before we start worrying about overlapping and spraying passes about. We are going to need to move him out of defence at least as a first choice cb if we want to challenge next season. He's not good enough defensively to be playing there week in week out. I honestly think he will take over from howson next season and I'm fine with that I think he will be very good once he settles in that position he's got every attribute needed to be.

However, seeing as WBA are interested maybe Matt Clarke of Brighton could be an option if WBA dont want him. He a left footed CB who we are are clearly very aware of given he was at the centre of our initial fall out with Derby Matt Clarke? He's rubbish. No thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Player of season at Derby when he was on loan to them and Bruce labelled him “WBA best player during my time here”. Link to post Share on other sites

He just didn't make any saves. I'd genuinely probably go Bettinelli, even though they're both terrible and I'd argue Bettinelli was worse at making saves. i'd bench who ever im forced to pick and put mcnair in there, was easily our best keeper all season, guy can play anywhere Link to post Share on other sites

I do imagine that Scott and co. have went through an extremely large list of players, especially the free agents this year. I don’t think in this day and age clubs would miss out on players due to not knowing about them, but instead just not rating them or think they fit into there criteria. would probably explain why the recruitment usually don't work out lol Link to post Share on other sites
