Probably on loan, but with us paying a share of his wages. Can't see us being lucky finding a permanent move for Given or Ireland.

Can't blame the players, I wouldn't want to take a pay cut.

Some players might made enough money to accept a pay cut for more football action. Not everyone want to be no 2 all the time.

Always liked Shay. Total pro. But yeah best for both parties if he leaves to get the first team football he deserves.

Agreed. Seems a really decent sort and I'll wish him all the best wherever he ends up.

Ireland seems happy to be number two most of the time.

I'm dead mature.

Dunne and Given leaving, there's about £125K a week freed up. Fill your boots Paul.

Add in Bent, that's almost £200K all told. Throw in Hutton, Ireland and a couple of other perifery players, it's near enough £250K. Give some more deserving lads a bump, the net saving will be around £100-125K.

Yes. Let's not forget Given could've easily seen out his career with Man. City and won a few medals but wanted to play.

And didn't he take a pay cut to come here?

He took a bit less but over a longer time, so sort of but not really.

Paycut from 60k a week from 80k for 5 years.. What a top pro. We could have had Ben Foster for half the wage and he is 10 years younger. Another Feckin Faulkner Fiasco.

Given was ten times better at the time.

What a crazy contract decision that was.  Hope we're not having to pay him off to get shut, although I suspect we will.

Is it a given that Given is gone? And will folks give Given grief for going?
