This was the post I was talking about, a lot different to what I remembered it being. I was a bit off the mark on how much Kanta earned
Carney = 240k
Boogard = 230k
Ki Jee = 200k
Birighitti = 180k
Kennedy = 130k +
Kantarovski = 130k +
Mullen = 130k +
Alivodic = 130k +
Cooper = 90k
Barresi = 55k - 90k
Pavicevic = 55k - 90k
Brennan = 55k - 90k
Marlow = 55k - 90k
Completely agree. There is absolutely no reason for him not to be re-signed. I will be pretty dissappointed if we do lose him, i see him as such a valuable, handy player in our squad. He does a good job in multiple positions, in a league with a salary cap and limited squad numbers, that is worth so much.
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
All depends on how much the FFA run club want to stock the squad for next season pending a sale. It makes sense to keep Kanta, especially if future owners are going to utilise all salary options, in and out of the cap. Would love to both BK's and shift as much of their salary into the loyalty bucket as possible.
If that's what he earns than my point about money is off the mark, my bad.
Does that + symbol relate to the loyalty bonuses they are getting? If so, and since he has been here for 6-7 years, how much would that be? If it's 10k per season he's been with the club than that's probably where we all got the $180-200k wages. If he is on less than 150k than i can accept people's reasoning to keep him.
He's still rubbish tho.![]()
But where does it come from? Because it looks like someone's estimated guess.
Alivodic would definitely be on more than 130k given where he came from prior to the Jets. The bottom 4 players would be min wage.
Other than Carney, Boogs and Ki Jee there hasn't been a lot of press speculation on salaries to go by.
Firstly the FFA will bend the rules to get this bloke in the HAL regardless of what club wants him as he is a draw card point blank and will generate publicity point blank
Secondly if Sydney FC want him their will be a new rule created so they can have him
Thirdly this will negate any of the points you made about him being signed after the deadline
He's dead to me if he signs with the Smurfs. It would make more sense for him to come to Newcastle which will increase the crowds to capacity and force potential owners to want to own the Newcastle Jets.
Sydney FC have the worst support per capita in the league.

The only reason Cahill should come back is to run the league at board level.
You listen to the bloke he has a big picture view of it all and it's not to be playing for relative peanuts being bossed around by the likes of Middleby and some owners kid.
^^^^
Below is a quote from Cahill straight from his biography. He is clearly interested in being involved with an A League, even owning one but like he says the timing and the conditions have to be right.
"I definitely plan to return to Australia, but only when the time and conditions are right. I can see myself OWNING an A-League club in the future. But I'd have to do it on my terms, make sure I could do it according to a long-range vision: that I'd have control right across the board ......If I do have the opportunity to run an A-League club, it would have to be from the grassroots level up to the top professionals, the way I learned it in England"
Alright then, that's exactly the point from the man himself. Cases closed anyone thinking he's coming back here to do a guest stint and get a token 10% stake in some shitty club like the Jets.
Also: when he was close to signing with NY, he went to the commissioner of the whole league to get the run down on how the clubs are run and whether the owners were legit. Only after he was satisfied did he sign to play. That's a bloke who looks a hell of a lot wider than his next pay check.
Bloke will be the smartest in that FFA room and sadly incumbents prob won't like that one bit and prevent it happening.
