Tom 2,492 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Being serious for a minute (I know, I'm as shocked as all of you are) some of this has to be bad information and I reckon some of it must be deliberate? For what purpose I know not but some of these links just can't be right. Yeah, the Birmingham stuff especially seems far-fetched, given that they can't sign anyone and will still fancy a shot at making the playoffs. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So apparently downing has a clause in his contract that he gets a new deal on improved terms if he makes one more appearance. How do we get ourselves in these situations? Jesus Link to post Share on other sites

How do we get ourselves in these situations? Jesus Ever read The Secret Footballer? It's a lot more common than you'd think. Maybe so but for a 31 year-old being given a 5 year contract? Surely we knew that when he hit the 150 game mark he would be well into his mid 30s and well past his prime. So stupid Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Where's this from??? Telegraph. He's been offered to clubs and will go if anyone will take his wages on. Which they won't. We're basically going to have 35k a week sitting at home every weekend for the next 18 months (I think he has another year anyway?) Link to post Share on other sites

We're basically going to have 35k a week sitting at home every weekend for the next 18 months (I think he has another year anyway?) It does sound a tad weird. His contract runs out in the summer according to Transfermarkt. Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,191 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Is it based on starts or sub appearance? Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Very smart on our front we are going to scare off teams wanting to buy Downing. I think there's only Real City United and Barca we need to worry about now. Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 815 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Downing said last season he signed for 5 years. So I make that 18 months left. Link to post Share on other sites

Will 2,958 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Downing said last season he signed for 5 years. So I make that 18 months left. Think it was 4 with a 1 year option but I’m not 100% sure Link to post Share on other sites
