Randy wants to cut wages further - Mirror article
« on: October 08, 2011, 11:37:21 AM »
I know it's from the mirror, but have they just made this up?
Mr. Lerner's silence is deafening this season and I'm sure we'll be the only ones follwoing the financial fair play rules if true!

If true, then we can kiss goodbye to any exciting new signings. Looks like average players like Hutton or the hope of a gem that comes good.

I don't know what's the more depressing - the anti-Randy hysteria this will create or the fact that an average wage of £46k a week is regarded as bargain basement.

Quite, an average of £46k means that plenty of people will be earning considerably more.

Whilst Randy's stewardship of the club has plummeted in my estimations over the last twelve months, I'm heartily fed up with players earning more in a week than I do in a year feeling that they're somehow hard done by. 

I continue to harbour - probably forlorn - hopes that somewhere down the line your run-of-the-mill Premier League player (and more pertinently, their agent) will come to realise that the wages offered by the likes of Manchester City are the exception and that their lot in life - £2+ million a year, lest we forget, is really not that bad after all.

It's most unlike Mr Nursey to come up with something negative is'nt it?

The revelation that we're trying to reduce the wage bill is up there in the exciting scoop stakes with the fact that today is Saturday.

Randy hasn't been over for a single game so far this season .GK has disappeared off the forums. I find that more worrying

what annoys me immensely is that the media seem to have made this into an Aston Villa and Randy Lerner thing. It isn't at all, and maybe with the exception of one or two sides, it is everyone at varying degrees of radicalness (is that even a word?). Ours might appear a steeper decline given some of the players we've sold, but ultimately the other sides (most of whom are of similar stature today to us, will need to do likewise and get to pretty much the position.

Remember the sense of excitement when he first started posting on H&V? It was like we were able to communicate directly with our liberators and saviours! There was a 'Greetings Earthlings' type quality to it in fact.

I miss those days of unbridled optimism at Villa Park.

How the fuck is our average wage as high as £56K per week?

It doesn't add up.
