Amorebieta to Middlesbrough

[JHaynes Paperboy]

Currently on 40k a week, and like above, we'd have got rid of him if there was any takers in the summer, but there wasn't. Boro will most likely go up, if they do, they may make the loan permanent which makes sense to me. It's like putting him in the shop window early.

Exactly. I don't think many people appreciate just how essential it is for us to get rid of the following players.....

Amore, Stek, Mitroglu, Ruiz, Rodders.

We've obviously committed to keep Parker, who is presumably on around 50k a week. I believe that the average Championship wage is about 5 times less than that (and even then, most Clubs are making losses every year). If we cannot get rid of these high earners then we will be crippled financially. Obviously, Ruiz and Rodders are going to be released in the summer, but if you think we could pay 15 good Championship players with the salaries of those 3 remaining players, you can see why it is essential that we move them on somehow. If Boro go up, then hopefully they will keep Amore on a permanent basis.

I thought that was the idea of the "parachute payment"?
