tbf the majority of the money comes from the telly deal, i can't see our memberships/ticket sales even covering the venue hire
does he really run though to be fair he walks most of every game and pulls out of challenges but we do need to keep him cause no one else can score or create goals atm
What did Eland say?? thing about no contact from the middle east regarding Carney
The "atm" above is the key. Right now, he is critical to success on the park. But if the coaching staff believe, like I do, that for the $230k per annum they are paying David that they can find at least 2 players of similar ilk then it seems like a no-brainer.
If carney was on or would accept a deal for around $150k, I'd say keep. But there's no way an aging player like himself is going to cop less than what he is on for what will most likely be his last contract as a player.
Yeah and the most annoying thing is Carney's faults really tick people off i mean professional player with no weak foot at all but the team cant survive without him fingers crossed he resigns for realistic fee
Death to all Riise haters. That includes all those plastic flag waving Cockney tossers.
Liverpool Legend > Blackpool Reject.
But hey if Carney wants to stay a Jet then I'm happy to give him a 2 year contract, reduced by about $100,000 a year then what he is currently getting.
Oh and hurry the f up David and give John Arne a call.
Edit:
35 yr old Liverpool Legend > 32 yr old Blackpool Reject.
kept repeating that he was "not questioning" what carney and his agent claimed about contact from the qatar club but they hadn't received an offer, and that carney was "just another player" the coaching staff is currently looking at. he also mentioned a few times that the club was in no rush to negotiate with off contract players, despite the fact they can be signed by other clubs at any given second now. It all came across as very condescending.
any ceo with his head screwed on would have just said something simple like "we haven't received an offer, but david is a great player and we'd love to keep him. Our coaching staff are working through a process of recruitment etc."
Additionally, admitting the club hasn't even given the players a phone call about their interest/lack thereof for next season is a joke. All off contract players are able to sign a contract with another club without consulting the Jets.
Ashley Cole is now a free agent
