" CARDIFF CITY STAR COULD BE LEAVING ? "

I doubt he'll leave, I'm not sure any club would pay similar money for a player of his age. I think it would be good if he took a coaching position with us to help develop youngsters skills.

let's be honest if any of us were offered 8 grand a week we would jump at it

And whats that got to do with the price of fish?

One serious injury and he's back in the team and looking to make an impact.
Don't underestimate Whitts to bounce back, even though the offer of a massive wage cut does suggest the club want him off their wage bill.

£8k is a disgrace, given what he was earning previously. He'll be offered more elsewhere.

8 K a week a disgrace ? 32K a month ??? Wow I bet he will need to visit the food banks with that money. Whatever he decides to do he is a CCFC legend and after ten years it will be sad to see him go. I hope he signs but if not it's pastures new for him.

I trust Warnock 100% if he stays and only wants to offer Whittingham 8k a week then so be it. However if he leaves and the transfer committee takes over and starts dishing out 25k a week to the likes of Lambert then !@#$ me the world has gone mad!

by dominic booth?.is he the contract negotiator ? or is this just a blog from some bloke guessing

Absolutely astonished by some of the comments here, he has been dropped 14k in wages for what? Age?

A guy who has no injury problems and is barely injury prone who mustered up 6 goals and 7 assists this season in a team that was 23rd at one point, if he was like a Rickie Lambert injury prone and not contributing much but he has contributed 28.8 percent of our goals this season Whittingham..

I think that offer is disgusting and it should be minimum half cut of his wages, this guy is not finished here and is our second top scorer and you can say we had a few penalties but you have to remember someone has to convert them.. penalties have been deciding factors in games for us this season.. you look at Bristol City home, big game for us and the calm head give us the lead in that game.

I hope he accepts it but don't blame him if he didn't.. he shouldn't be offered less than half his current wages.

I'm one that sentimental value in football shouldn't come into play especially if you are playing but I don't get what the problems are with Whittingham? 32 years old and mustered up 6 goals and 7 assists in a side that hasn't been brilliant since the turn of the year.. never injury prone and always give 110% in every game, been through a lot of things with this club and still signed contract after contract and had bigger offers than us near enough every season with us.

Bloody hell mate, you do realise that in the ten years he has been at the club he has earned over £10 million!!!!

He has been offered a new contract worth £450,000 p.a and you think he is hard done by????

The reason he has been offered a contract with a pay cut is that he is nowhere near as good as he used to be...a great servant yes but let's get real

Totally agree

End of the day, Whitts is still one of our best attacking players - his assists and goals show that, year after year (including this one). So yes, I consider £8k a week a disgrace given we are supposedly paying him over £20k per week right now. It's not a true value of his worth to our team, and I honestly believe there are teams in this league that would die for Whitts to be in their starting eleven.

Just goes to show some of the shit that gets thrown Whitts' way by some of our fans. When folk like Hudson and co were shipped out, or pretty much forced to leave, everyone was calling it disgusting and disrespectful to players who had given us so much. Same pretty much being done to Whitts, but that's seemingly okay because for whatever goddamn reason some people just don't think he should be playing any more.

It's rubbish.

8k a week is £462,000 per year....and you consider that a disgrace??? Try telling that to someone with a family trying to pay all the bills and feed and cloth his kids on £20k a year and see if he thinks it's a disgrace!!!!

No one (apart from the club, the player and his agent) knows what the offer is.

No one knows what he is paid now.

The new offer must be a reduced wage - but why are so many willing to get their knickers in a twist over some other poster's guesses? Too many are ready to throw made up numbers around as if they were real - just to be thought ITK.

I think his new salary will be £416k a year not £462k a year. I know it's a huge pay cut but it can be increased with bonuses. He is one of my favourite players but I think the club have got it just about right if the figures are correct. As to Lambert, I wonder if NW would have considered offering him his £25,000 a week, I doubt it.

I would definitely be considered in the "Whitts is god" category and always want us to try to play rather than hoof it anywhere. but at 8K plus bonus (signing fee ?)and it would probably be a 2 year deal so we are looking a £900K........ I am not starting to feel sorry for him.

Testimonials are for charities nowadays, even in the championship.

Other than Brizzle he'd have to move or at least buy an apartment at his new club.....Could he be bothered ? This is Whitts.

He signs,stays, and becomes a class coach

id imagine the vast majority of pple on 20k a year get it. you compare footballers values with other footballers. film stars with other film stars. not pple working at tesco

None of us know the figures.

Haven't had a chance to read the whole thread but for what its worth I think he should go and he would go with my best wishes.

I am not saying for one second that he should be playing week in week out for us but he is to good to see out his career on the bench and is more than good enough to play week in week out for someone else, probably get a bit more money from it aswell not that I think that should be a decisive factor in his decision.

I havent read all the comments and i'm sure theres alot i would agree and disagree with but i'm sorry, 8k pw is a derisory offer for a model professional who if you believe previous reports, coud'veleft along time ago but decided not to. I will admit i am a huge fan but i am not biased enough to believe that he will be a 1st team regular next year and he certainly doesnt influence games like he used to but even at his age, in the modern market, he is worth 10-14k a week. You may laugh at that but look at his stats again this season (bearing in mind we were struggling before NW). He has been involved in more of our goals than any other player (goals and assists). If we let him go it will be to another clubs advantage, especially on a free and 4-6k more than we are offering. I know we have to make sacrifices and money decisions to move forward but this 1 is wrong, wrong, wrong

You think 8k a week paid to a player who will be 33 next season and doesn't feature in the managers plans is derisory?? This is why you aren't a manager.

People keep saying another club will take him but I genuinely can't see any clubs beating those wages for a 33 year old. I'm a whitts fan but this is football it's about the now not the then.

Hudson & co were forced out not offered a deal of 8k a week. How are you even comparing the two totally different scenarios??
