premiership players - Page 2

I wonder what type of wage these ex-premiership players will be wanting. JK was refused an increase in his wages of £100/week, so Eric is hardly likely to break the bank for these players and nor should he.

I was posting it on the Burnley message board because people keep wanting to know were the players that have been released are now......

And i didnt tell anyone on this message board, you found out for yourselves by someone else posting it........

Wynonie Harris · 13-07-2004, 14:59

Do you have to have it spelt out to you? It was supposed to be kept SECRET. Coley didn't want anyone else to know, because he didn't want to alert other clubs to these players. You, and you alone, caused the problem in the first place by posting it on a Burnley messageboard. I'll bet nobody at the club ever tells you anything in confidence again...and who can blame them?

Fearon1 · 13-07-2004, 15:11

Ur rong there mate......
Every club in the country gets a list of all the players that are on a free and how they can contact them... so i think they will be well aware of the players on a free

Quote from John Coleman on the offcial site: "To be honest we would prefer to keep it quiet until we have had a chance to speak to the players, otherwise there is always the danger that somebody else will sneak in before you."

Quote from tonight's Telegraph: "The defender and goalkeeper whose identities the Reds boss wants to keep a closely guarded secret for fear of them being coaxed elsewhere..."

Still, if you know better than Coley...

Fearon1 · 13-07-2004, 15:37

I wiss say it again.........

EVERY CLUB IN ENGLAND GETS A LIST OF ALL THE PLAYERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR FREE.... cant beleive you didnt already know that

AccyStanFan · 13-07-2004, 15:47

maybe but if a division 3 club see that someone like may will go to stanley then they might swoop.....

Owd Bob · 13-07-2004, 15:52

Premiership goalkeeper with international experience sounds great but rumours seem a bit flowery to me

Wynonie Harris · 13-07-2004, 15:55

The fact remains that Coley didn't want their identities leaking. That's why you were told in confidence. You betrayed that confidence. How do you plead?

Fearon1 · 13-07-2004, 15:55

If a club wants a player they will approach him... they won't wait to see who else offers first.....

AccyStanFan · 13-07-2004, 16:00

when rivaldo was on about goin bolton a few premiership clubs showed interest.......they already knew he was on a free but they didnt realise hed go anyone like bolton.......

Fearon1 · 13-07-2004, 16:07

well put it this way.... they are on trial we are not going to sign them before wednesday they are just on a trial, so on wednesday everyone will no about the 2 players and thats before we have signed them...
what they gonna do on wednesday disguise them so Rochdale dont know who they are so they dont offer (even though they are well aware that they are both on a free).

Wynonie Harris · 13-07-2004, 16:17

OK, mate, fair enough. Coley and the club are wrong. You're right. Happy?

Fearon1 · 13-07-2004, 16:21

very funny.......

and i didnt say they were rong

so are you happy?

Wynonie Harris · 13-07-2004, 16:25

Well, if you say there's no point keeping it a secret, and they're so keen to keep it under wraps they must be "rong", musn't they?

Happy? I'm ecstatic, mate, looking forward to the best season ever.
