Stephen Warnock - loaned to Bolton Wanderers (reply #231)

[*shellac*]

Yeah, I almost applauded him.

[john e]

Good luck to him. The fact he's prepared to drop a division to play may stop all the "happy to sit on his arse and pick up his wages" crap that's spouted by some.

yeah, that was probably me to be honest.

but he still hasnt dropped divisions to play for less money has he ?   he will still be getting his contracted wage, thats fair enough i suppose but he wouldnt want to 'play football' for less, but he would rather play anywhere for the same

Hard for him to move for less money if no one has made a bid for him though isn't it. You're accusing him of refusing to move for less money without any evidence he has done that.
All we do know is that rather than sit on his arse apart from a bit of training and pick up his wages he's chosen to move down a division to play for a few months.

true i am accusing him of something i have no proof of, so if he has gone to play football on less money then i will hold my hands up on that one.
it just bugs me when they say 'all i want to do is just play football' when the truth is they are like the rest of us where money is more important than the job,
we would all move for more money and none of us would go anywhere else for less because the money we get paid is more important than the job we do to us, and its no different for them no matter what they say, with very few exeptions

[Legion]

To be honest, I wouldn't. I love my job and the place I work at. Nothing would make me want to leave.

[DrGonzo]

I'm just hoping that the fact it's only a 3 month loan will mean he'll be making the move permenant in January.

I just can't see it given the current salary he's on

[VILLA MOLE]

its mad we spent 6 million on him and i think the general feeling was that  we were happy we did at the time

He played really well in first season from what I remember. He really looked the part. God knows what happened.

He'll be getting his contracted wage, paid partly by Villa and partly by Bolton just as it should be. There'll be no reduction in his salary anywhere.

And I can't see why it bugs you. Why would you say anything else? We all know that every footballer is playing for their salary. Your spiel about how we would all move for the money is absolutely right, but we would also say whatever it takes to keep our lives easier.

[john e]

Obviously it's  just me then

[Clampy]

It was more than that was'nt it? i thought it was around £8.5m.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Is he really so much worse than those who played today?

[Toronto Villa]

Is he really so much worse than those who played today?

Yes he is. Would you have posted that had we not lost? He's been dumped by two managers. It's not just about his playing ability but his attitude at the club. He needed to go. Someone should tweet his mrs the score. She'll be happy as she buys her 100th pair of shoes.

[The Left Side]

A little off topic but why do Bolton now play in Adidas if they are still at the reebok stadium?

Yes I would

Because Reebok still sponsor the stadium?
