| Quote: batleyrhino "So on the basis that 7 players were all re-signed earlier this season, at a time when Clarkson was already in and around the first team, and we have known for a long time that BJB would be coming back, along with the effect on the Salary Cap that both would have, are you suggesting that GH is either unable to count how much money he would have been spending on the cap, or that he is now so generous that rather than bring in a new player (or 2 to replace the ones leaving) he is going to needlessly upgrade a junior players contract?
I'd give GH a bit more credit than that.'"
I'm saying you have no more idea than I do and it's not as simple as your previous post makes out.
I give GH plenty of credit and tend not to fucs too much energy on the issue. Needless to say, it's better left in GHs hands than the vast majority of the experts on here.

| I'd definitely agree that GH is the best person to deal with these issues (not that the likes of you or I will ever be involved I suspect).
Where I disagree, is that given the competence that GH has in this area, he will know full well that when two senior (no pun intended) players leave, this gives him a surplus of Salary Cap spend that is very unlikely to be taken up on contract upgrades for two or three juniors. This is a very reasonable assumption given that one of the players leaving had signed a new contract only weeks ago, and the other was 1 year into a 3 year deal, oh and that we had Smith on board for next year before Donald announced he was leaving.

I avoid basing massive hypothesis on assumptions and try and establish facts. I guess that is the difference between law and sales, you just make stuff up to suit and I find the flaws in it..

Massively OT - but what area of law are you in? Just curious.

| G1, the bit I disagree with you on, is that you seem to think that we will have to pay out additional salary to BJB, Clarkson and other juniors, whilst I am saying that we must have already known about this and factored it into our sums when calculating how much we had to spend on re-signing the 7 players we did earlier this year. Then considering that one player who agreed a contract extension (Donald) has subsequently decided to retire, this leaves even more spare Salary Cap capacity.
These are facts not assumptions, so you might as well drop the Law V Sales guff which you are using to try to discredit my statements.

I'm in charge of making cups of tea when client's visit.
And occasionally I get to clean the whizzy wee off the Senior partner's desk when he's been shtooping a secretary.

So you don't think, for example, clarkson will be in receipt of en enhanced contract given that he has now quit his day job and gone full time?
Quote: batleyrhino "Then considering that one player who agreed a contract extension (Donald) has subsequently decided to retire, this leaves even more spare Salary Cap capacity. '" Maybe they always leave spare capacity in case, you know, a player like Clarkson emerges during the season. A player they will likely not have factored in their calculations for this season but one who became a 1st team regular, one who will have received match bonuses un-budgeted for and an enhanced conrtacted, unbudeted for.
Quote: batleyrhino "These are facts not assumptions, so you might as well drop the Law V Sales guff which you are using to try to discredit my statements.'" What are facts?

It would not be surprising to find the Leeds squad suddenly being "very grown up" about things if Eastwood starts delivering consistantly on the field.
