Staff on minimum wage being layed off if we signed Gayle
Yet all this time a millionaire owes the cub 4.1 million and we got told the word TRUST !!! #wba
The laying off of back room tea ladies was a terrible thing to say. How to kill all trust with your staff in one easy lesson.
I said before Gayle would cost £6 Million a season to buy £3M salary + £3M tranfer cost x 3 years.
But that £6million equates to 1,000 tea ladies earning £6,000 a year - that's how silly his statement was - he neither understands finances or
how to treat his staff. We have been paying Gayle £30K a week Newcastle paying the other £30K - with the savings of salary on the dozen who have already left we have saved hundreds of thousands a week and we cant afford an extra £30K - it's rubbish. Darren was very infulential in Gayle coming and now Darren has gone Even if we offered Gayle £60K a week - (this doesn't represent a pay rise) I don't think he would return anyway.
This is obviously why we are finding it difficult to get a manager - they don't want to work for Jenkins / Dowling and the missing Lai
Darren is almost impossible to follow - He makes £10 million on transfers - reduces the wage burden by millions and keeps the team in the top six all season. Only a madman would contemplate bettering Darren's record. Only to get the sack for IMO being far to loyal to GJ.
I'm still taking Lai at face value - I would guess he loaned money to buy the club and has no money to invest.
2020 the year the bubble burst
