Quote: easyWire "It’s quite feasible that a club employee could overhear small talk and a figure of ‘only 80k left’ on the cap, and tell friends. This is much more likely than being privy to every player’s wages.'"
I'm not a club employee. and I don't know anyone that is. I'm not privy to 'every' players wages, but I do have knowledge of some salary cap details when I'm told about them. Eg, I know who was the highest paid prop at the club is this season, which lead to another prop being very vocal about his displeasure in the dressing room. I also know his wage increases by £10k each season while he's contracted.
As for me knowing we have £80k left in the pot for next season prior to reducing costs, it's what I've been told. If you choose to not believe me that's your prerogative. This is an internet forum, and is designed for opinions. I take no offence from people not believing or disagreeing with me, and the same should be said for the people that disagree when they read things I sometimes post. Use the mute button if necessary.
I am privy to quite a lot that happens at the club, and if you knew the person(s) I know, you'd understand why. I'm careful about what I do and don't post, as some info is WAY too sensitive for this board. Eg, I posted something the other day on the thread about how long DP will last next season, and then quickly deleted it when I realised I was guilty of over-sharing some very sensitive info at the top of the club !
