Why is it news to you ?
Do you seriously think anyone will be anywhere near what Sunjic ended up on at the end ?
At the end? He was on a wedge from the start when you include his bonuses. Players like Colin, Dean and Etheridge had stupid risers in their deals though.

No, they aren’t. They’ve deliberately held the line on wages, reasoning that they want players to sign cos they want to play for us not cos we offer them the most cash.
If you’ve heard different you’ve heard wrong.
Which makes me love the new bunch even more. Don’t have your pants pulled down over a mercenary player - the Poku saga is showing this, it appears we are now in the mindset of only paying market rate.

True on the others ... but i assumed Sunjic, who i know started off high, was also getting the loyalty risers and other increases too.
Thanks for clarifying

Nah, he had a flat 15k per week then 800k+ a year in bonuses that were not performance or contingency related.
And this is one thing I know I can be certain about cos I’ve still got the paperwork cluttering up my flat.

Wow, so he was basically on 30k per week 😮
Madness that we were paying 800k annually - then an additional 800k in bonuses , and that was just 1 year . Take into account his salary across his time here plus his transfer fee . You’re talking not far off 10 million quid

800k to consistently misplace passes.Unbelievable
I think being a basket case of a club didn't help - what player would want to come to a certified circus, well known about on the inside of football unless they WERE offering ridiculous contracts?
Difference is now any promising players see what's happening at Blues under KH and they should be busting a gut to be part of it. Should mean we aren't under the same pressure to offer silly money.

i would have misplaced passes for far less
Probably out of our league now after a few games for man city but James McAtee would be perfect

The word probably is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

I suspect you are absolutely right.
It all makes me feel much happier about the way the club is run now.
Can we not just find ourselves a Teemu Pukki instead?
What we can do now is have achievable promotion bonuses and wage increaes clauses.
RagsAnybody got any guesses for what will be our statement signing this season. Ill start rak- sakyi. Maybe delulded to hope ferguson or ensisco fancy a loan to the championship for 6 months?
This is NOT based on any inside info, or anything ... so pure guess ... plus the extra coverage it will get us in the US ...
I can't see us not being tempted to try and sign Josh Sargent for £16 million (what Leeds have offered) ....
15 goals in 32 Championship games in 2024/25 .. and our supply and attacking positions are exactly what he thrives on
I have been saying Josh Sargent for the last tweleve months - obvioulsy this was dependent on getting back into the Championship = he guarantees goals in this league (like Pukki used to).
Along with been a great signing on football terms, him been American would also be a fantastic piece of marketing, and would undoubtably bring in extra revenue in terms of shirt sells, and ginger wigs etc. At 25 is also the right age to help us acheive a football goals over the 5 years of the stadium build....go get him
