WARNOCK: "WE SAVED MONEY LETTING HIM GO"

'We saved 7 figures by letting Lex Immers leave'


NEIL WARNOCK:
“It’s a matter of wheeling and dealing.
“I know there was some comments about Immers going; to my belief we didn’t pay anything like what was said, it actually saved the club seven figures which is like a transfer fee.
“It’s good business.
“He wanted to be closer to home – he’s now an hour and a quarter from home after having a baby and for him to give up that sort of contract it showed how much It goes into the pot, we have to wheel and deal.
“I thought in that situation it was a good bit of business for the club to save money. If he had been stuck not in the first team for a year it would have been a waste of time and money.
“It’s all in the pot and we have to wheel and deal.”

Did you really believe it ?

City have wasted lots of money on players who gave very little back to the club, but City wouldn't write off £2M off again. Nobody knows transfer details or wages other than the club and that's the way it is

Is it good business to keep him and not play him at cost of 20k a week or let him go and save 1m+ ? It's going to take time to stop the waste that as occurred past 5 yrs! Give warnock time and he'll get it sorted! :thumbup:

Feck the politics, it's Warnock's honesty I respect. We can bicker, moan and snipe all we want but you got to respect his honesty, I think his wife has been having a dib on here again hehehe.

What I don't get it why did we do it so early in the transfer window?

If he's on 20k a week we would have paid him 80k in January, why not hold out for a fee for him?

The clubs interested didn't want to pay a fee and like you said we saved 80k just in january

I trust Warnock to have the right players and manage wages and costs correctly .

It's a long time since I've said that about a Cardiff Manager! Probably Dave Jones was the last time I could have said that!

As I posted elsewhere.

Releasing players from their contract's is a dangerous game to be playing and is poor business from the offset however you try to disguise it with 'saved on the wages etc'. It also send's out a terrible message.

As an example, even if Lex cost us say £500,000 in fee's ie loan and to sign permanently and was on 15k a week that is not to shy of £1,000,000 down the drain.

Warnock should be able to work with the players we have got and get the best out of them. We are not talking about someone who is shit or deadwood.

If he wasn't wanted he should have been transfer listed, Brugge should have paid us a fee or Immers should have bought himself out of his contract himself by paying us if he is the one who wanted to go.

You cannot namby-pamby to Football players left right and center. Any player in that Squad now must be thinking, f**k it, if things don't work out ill just have my contact terminated and sign somewhere else, same for any players we are looking to buy.

We have done and are doing it far to often, its not good business in the slightest, the saving on wages thing is a shit attempt to gloss over what is another monumental f**k up.

It's its like buying a car for £30k and then giving it to a scrap yard 6 months later for nothing and justifying it to yourself by telling yourself think of the money you saved on petrol. It wouldn't and shouldn't ever happen.

excellent post.

this is happening so often, that it is further evidence of the shambolic, profligate way that this club is run. this is a poorly run club, and as a result we waste money every season.

vincent tan will need to be paid back some way or another.
