Steve Morison’s Future?

Steve Morison believe’s he's done enough to earn a long-term Cardiff deal.

Said results, performances and recruitment have all improved.

"I've been told it’s the best transfer window they've ever seen."

“We spent nothing in this transfer and brought money in to our club.

There’s the actual quote where nothing is mentioned about spending nothing and bringing money in.

It’s missing a word too which implies it’s not a direct copy over

Steve Morison told Rob from Radio exactly that and to be fair he’s not lying , are you saying Morison is lying??

After every press conference I ring Rob.


As you are always on here looking to be negative, what did Morison spend?

I’m always looking to be negative?

No transfer fees were spent that is correct.

And loan deals evened out a fact and minus Moores wages and over £3mill brought in and your still negative.

We don’t pay the full amount of wages usually 30-50% , all ours that went out they all paid 100% of the wages .

I agree with your point on the £3m for Moore. There could be an argument that it was too late in the window to spend but, to be honest, that’s probably gone toward sustaining the club and keeping FFP at bay.

However, I don’t agree that our loans have balanced out the expenditure.

If we agree that we’re paying roughly 50% of the wages let’s look at what that means.

I would guess Hugill was on at least £30k per wk at Norwich after West Ham. Drameh would be on £15-£20k being in Leeds first team squad. Doyle would be on at least £15k. Doughty probably about £8k and Uche a similar amount £8k ?

Plus bringing back Watters and Wintle probably both about £8k each.

By my reckoning that would make £54k+ a week if we pay out 50% on each.

Judging by previous posts you put up none of the U23s were on any more than £1200 and some as low as £800. If we say £1k average we’ve only saved about £5k per week by loaning them out.

We saved £12k per week on Moore and continue to save £10k per week on Murphy.

So saving around £27k per week.

Now I know all of these figures are rough but I don’t think I’m being unfair with some of those guesses and that means we’re paying out and extra £27k per week in wages. That’s an extra £100k+ per month.

If I’ve got my maths wrong or forgotten something feel free to correct me but I don’t think your claim that the loans balance out is anywhere near correct.

On my maths we will be forking out an additional £600k+ over 6 months.

Not even close. I’ve posted that in other posts.

As if Hereford, Linfield and St Johnstone are going to be covering 100% of high wages. They are either 100% of the low wages which was the point used to berate Tan when it was said we were doing things on the cheap or it’s a percentage of their comparable wages to premier league players.

It doesn’t add up, much like Rob making up something Morison clearly didn’t say. Maybe Rob is telling people there has been nothing extra spent but he means transfer fees? It doesn’t add up at all. Your math is a lot closer than Robs math.

What contract do people suggest?

Are we going to do the same we did with McCarthy?

I say 1yr.

As we know and you do, the famous Committee have made so
Many costly mistakes after 12 yrs they now hopefully will get it finally right.

What if he was offered a job by Millwall for example who offered him two years?

I honestly believe if Millwall came after him we would lose him anyway.
