Boyce has been earning around £1 million in the Premier League.
Let’s say he had a 50% pay cut for relegation to the Championship, then another 50% to League One – that’s still £250,000.
The average salary for League One is £70,000
So Boyce would be taking up the allocated funds set aside for 3 other players, and the chances are he’d struggle get a game.
I suspect it has f’ck all to do with Caldwell and his relationship, but everything to do the club being sensible and not throwing precious money at sentiment.
Ok lets change the figures around and say whatever figures I want to pluck out of thin air and I win FFS! :cheer: If £70k is an average it doesn’t mean all the players in that division are earning it :lol:[/quote]
The average salary of a Premier League player is just over £1m.Boyce was our longest serving player, and club captain, so my guess is he’d have been on more than £1 million – but what’s a couple of hundred thousand pounds here and there between friends?
And I doubt the wage cut was anywhere near 50% for either of the relegations – but again, what’s a couple of hundred thousand pounds… (etc)
But you’re right. I plucked those figures completely out of the air and jigged them around just to prove you wrong.
And again, you’re quite right, an average of £70k means some people will earn more, some will earn less.
So why should one of the people earning three times more than the average be a 36 year old defender who’ll struggle to get in the Wigan team?
You’re making things up again Standish, guessing here and there, just leave it and stop making wild claims.
I’m bailing out of this one now anyway, you can argue the imaginary toss with Filmoss!
I don’t think he is crying poverty but in any walk of life, if your wages are cut based on the needs of the business but you stick with them, show loyalty, always bang the drum of the business and do work for them outside of normal hours, you would be pretty pissed off if when they looked to get back on their feet they made you part time. Knowing they would be offering contracts to the likes of 32yr old Perkins from Blackpool plus (allegedly) 15 others.
That’s my take on it, maybe that makes me a compassionate person and somebody who understands and appreciates a loyal servant.
I genuinely worry about the running of our club and where we are headed under the current regime. Did Boyce not get on with Caldwell? Does Caldwell see him as a threat? I’d think we’d want the likes of Boyce at the club rather than journeymen and folk without years of the club at heart.Others seem to accept whatever they are told and we’ve seen where that has got us.
I suspect it also makes you gullible and naive when it comes to running a football club.
Two sides to every story.[/quote]
I would argue that up until this point I have been far from gullible on all things Wigan Athletic and where we were headed. I wanted Malky gone after 5 games, no sentiment with me where none due!
Others on the other hand…………yes Dave, yes JJ, yes Gary, yes yes yes, whatever you say, ouch my arse is sore[/quote]
We’re so lucky to have you, the only one who knows anything about anything.
I’ll give up now, can’t possibly compete with you.
So how much does Boycie earn Tez and what were his deductions for relegation so we can work it out proper?
Egg wake up, that’s my point. We don’t know so stop guessing.
Right stop talking to me on this thread, it’s had it’s day in the sun. We move on.

Not sure you should get to deciede anything, let alone whether we have finished with this thread or not.

I was about to write similar myself.
If we can still be going on Bottom-4 Bob a few years on, then I think others will decide if and when this thread slips away.

It was in reply to Egg, who asked me a question directly. I, me, Tez didn’t want to continue on this thread. I’ve said my piece on the subject.You two crack on if you like, you exciting pair, get it up to a million posts and have a wank for all I care but I’ll take no direction whatsoever from somebody who can’t spell decide. Especially when you’re trying to be clever and failing. :P
“it’s had it’s day in the sun” – that sounds to me like a judgement on the thread, not your contribution.
Oh, and by the way – it’s “its day in the sun”
I detest the amount of money players get but appreciate that in football it is like a bubble and football finance does not correlate with the real world but I would like to see our Latics successfull and for that at some stage we have to play the game and pay what may be abhorent to us all but is the price of seeing our club suceed. In this case of Boycey, yip thank you for your service but for the type of money Emerson will be looking at we could sign a younger, hungrier and better player or as said previously two or three players to fit into the clubs wage strategy. Sorry Boycey and sentiment but that is business.
Anyway all the political bollocks aside i would like to say thank you boycey you are a true latics legend and i will be sorry to see you go. Walking out carrying young joseph and lifting the fa cup will live with me forever. Good luck in whatever you do in the future, you will never be and shouldn’t be forgotten.
Fair point. Would respect him more if he gave us more details of this derisory offer. If a bus driver approaching his 70th birthday starting hitting cars, dozing off at the wheel and driving at 15mph he wouldn’t be offered a new deal if he was on 30k and an apprentice bus driver who had his best days ahead of him was cheaper. Can’t believe he expects sympathy. It’s not like he’s been working for free.

Ah, picking up on obvious typos and talking about grown men having a wank; the last diversionary resort of a man (sic) who knows he has failed miserably to win his argument.
Face it Tez, you know fuck all about anything. I have yet to see anyone with half an ounce of common sense agree with you on this forum.
Thick, yeah proper thick, me. Mind you, I must be to get involved with a complete no mark like you.
