cmonurz Note to all. Wanting to play for Liverpool and being attracted by £50k a week does not make someone greedy.
It's being average at something but still being paid 50k a week that stinks. Footballers and bankers of the world unite

Hoop Blah Average?
By average do you mean one of the best 25/50 or so of what you do in the country, or best 200-400 in Europe I guess.

melonhead same goes for anyone working in entertainmentm or sports
fact remains its all about supply and demand, and people who are good at these things are in short supply, and therefore gr8 demand

melonhead theyre worth the wage as long as someone is willing to pay it
and tbf, i dont see why the tv money should go to the money men at the clubs instead, when its the players that provide the "product"

Well pointed out. I meant in the context of what they actually do and the excessive rewards which go with it rather than professional ranking. In particular, even when the consistency of performance is not great the financial reward is disproportionate.

“We shall see what happens this week. There is a possibility that there will be talks between Alex, his representative and Nick Hammond. When I first made the decision to leave Alex out (his contract situation) had no bearing whatsoever.
“Alex has a choice to make and so does his agent. Sean Morrison is now in the team, proved a point and proved he can play at this level. He is very much in contention to play because we know he can do it. He’s committed and has a three-year deal.”

Wimb In my opinion the club has handled this absolutely wrong though I understand the reasoning behind it. There should have been a lot more transparency from the start both parties have lost out due to this not being resolved.

I'd agree there are probably issues with the way this has been handled by the club, but I'm interested in what ways you think there should be more transparency about it.

Wimb I also think it's more than a tad hypocritical when they're happy to pick Tabb and Hunt but that's besides the point.

Cypry What are their contract statuses then?

Wimb Some quotes from Brian in today's Get Reading“We shall see what happens this week. There is a possibility that there will be talks between Alex, his representative and Nick Hammond. When I first made the decision to leave Alex out (his contract situation) had no bearing whatsoever.
“Alex has a choice to make and so does his agent. Sean Morrison is now in the team, proved a point and proved he can play at this level. He is very much in contention to play because we know he can do it. He’s committed and has a three-year deal.”

Interesting phrase there would be 'when I FIRST made the decision' and also the commitment line in regards to Morrison.
Realistically if this doesn't get sorted out in the next two weeks I'd assume his career at Reading is all but over. If he's fallen behind Mariappa, Gorkss and Morrison then there's no reason for him to sign a new deal and he'll be off elsewhere.

Vision I'd be interested to know what difference, if any, there was between the deal Pearce isn't signing and the one Karacan recently signed.

Hoop Blah You mean state that openly to the fans?

Hoop Blah I'd love to see some better communication from the club around things going on around the club but the in's and out's of why McDermott has chosen player A over player B isn't really one area I think it would be a good idea.
Honesty with the fans yes, but having to explain selection decisions no for my money.
