Which costs £15 more.

If next seasons recruitment depends on ST sales then I'm worried!

I guess there is a base of a squad, if supporters want a betterment on that they need to get their hands in their pockets.

As with most installment payments, you pay a bit extra.
So you put all your copper in a jar from now til Dec 1st and hope you have enough.
Or you take the less painless option that costs you a bit more.
Or goto a well known loan company for the £220 and pay them back about £700!

Re: ST reminder : Wed Aug 20, 2014 5:13 pm  

Back in 2000, in the aftermath of Pearman, I approached the club as follows:

A season ticket was around £120 IIRC. The club wanted cash - so they offered a 10 year ticket for £1,000. - which seemed like good value if you could afford.

I didn't have £1,000 sitting around, so I sought a loan - which would cost me around £300 over 3 years - or £1,300. in total.

I suggested to the club that, rather than pay some no-name company £300 in interest, the club could have £1,300 over the 3 years in monthly instalments - and the deal was done!

Money costs - so I don't think the fee involved is unreasonable at all.

Given that they currently have nine overseas players on contract for next year (Smith, Chase, Locke, Dobson, Puletua, Hauraki, Rapira, Tasi, Sau) and the limit is seven, i'm not sure they will be doing too much to block anyone wanting to leave.

Puletua is going home. Chase might be coming off quota next year. There is also doubts on Rapira's fitness levels so he could well be on his way.

If you think Koukash is easy pickings and will just spend 90K on a player to only get 12 or so games out of him then think again. I can see WTW having to pay up to half of that for his services for the second year of the deal.

Then Tim Smith won't be playing for a Wakefield a Trinity next year because we won't be paying a transfer fee for anyone! Which creates an impass for Salford because Smith doesn't want to sign for anyone else and they can't force him to.

So if they have to let 2 go, I'm happy to help them by taking Smith on as a full time contract and then if they want to loan us another on a year long contract that would be ok too. We could probably pay half their wage to help out.
Unfortunately, they won't lose Chase, Locke, Dobson or Hauraki or Sau who are the players I'd take (not Chase), they'll be left with losing Puletua, Tasi and Rapira. Which is less appealing.

Re: ST reminder : Thu Aug 21, 2014 11:05 am  

I have no knowledge of the dealings with Salford but I bet tim smith will be playing for Wakefield in 2015, realistically there's no point him playing anywhere else, is there?...

Re: ST reminder : Thu Aug 21, 2014 11:29 am  

Surely if we took him back immediately, his wage from now until the start of next season will be a fair chunk of a saving for Mr K??

£30 to 40k in wages between now and Feb
or
Transfer fee in Jan?

Long as its short maybe??

That's before even thinking about quota spaces.
