The Sun, like the Daily Fail, can barely be called "the press".
Barely but they're still part of the fourth estate
they have no right under UK law to come to a football clubs press conference.
Look at the way Fergie shut out reporters and the Merseyside clubs shut out the Sun....scum should have done that a long time ago
I don't care what that drunk Fergie did, that was wrong too.

Banning the sun wouldn't have solved this situation either

I just genuinely think this wasn't in Levy and Lewis's business plan. Somehow, they ended up with the best manager and first XI in the Premier League about five years before they planned. And they simply had never budgeted for that.

I agree, this is a problem they wanted the next owners to have.

Danny Rose betrays the manager to give an interview to The Sun, whose job is to sell newspapers.

Our solution?

Ban The Sun! They must've forced him to run his mouth.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ.

Always liked Collomosse coverage of Spurs and don't see him as an opportunist or bullshitter. No talk of mutiny or exodus here but general questions over wage structure which is fair enough. I'd imagine we will be looking to address a lot of this over the coming months however.

Problem with the West Ham and Watford examples is other players in their starting XIs probably earn under £20k a week. We can't pay all of our team £150k just like that, as much as I'd like us to.

Hazard gets £200k, but no one else at Chelsea is near. Courtois is on the same as Lloris apparently.

I looked at Madrid earlier, Marcelo is on £80k and is IMO the best left back around. Alaba at Bayern is on similar! This is all a bit misguided to be fair.

Is it really so hard to believe that the team is pissed off for not getting the backing it needs? Some of you are living in a wonderful world of make-believe where everyone is steadfastly loyal to the Club and happy to accept half of what they'd make elsewhere whilst accepting the fact that they're not likely to win anything without it. These are athletes with dreams of success and a need to compete. Dream on. It's 2017, not 1907.

We need to send a message, and I think the best way of doing that is by giving Toby a new contract. Make him the highest paid player at the club I say, this would be a big two fingers to the press and Rose. Toby gets it because he deserves it, sorry Danny but you just signed a new deal, have been injured for 6 months and will find it tough to get your staring place back. You don't warrant a new deal, shut up you little prick, get your nut down and earn the crazy money you are already being paid until we are ready to sell you.

Someone on here said earlier that the issue isn't us paying too little but others like United and City paying way too much
When the likes of Lingard and Delph have been earning what they're earning and at the same time are not as high a profile, nor anywhere near as good as our first XI, it creates issues like ths.

Man City and Man United are and will always be the problem.

These players most of them signed a contract within the last year six months? Wtf where they made to do it at gun point or something?
Presumably they were happy with the contract when they signed if the market has changed then fine knock on levys door and ask for a raise in keeping with that.
if you ain't happy with his reply then put in a transfer request and fuck off.
It can't be that hard

I believe the players would all like more money of course they would but do you see Rose walking in today and Kane Hugo Big Vic Jan and Dembele and some others going yeeeaaahhh well done Danny! No of course they wouldn't as they wouldn't want to disrespect Poch.

Agreed it's killing us, so frustrating.

We have wiped the floor with both on the coaching front in the last two years, but they'll win the war with their financial clout. Utd would be in a lot more trouble right now if they didn't have such a great financial base considering the amount of mistakes made post-Fergie.

I agree. Toby should get a great contract because he is totally superb consistently.. Rose was totally superb six months ago. It's honestly insane that he tried to say he's worth so much more when he hasn't played for so long!

I refuse to believe they couldn't find suitable options that were cheaper, just as promising and younger than Rose and Walker. These teams are using their clout to weaken us too, and it's worked a blinder on the Walker front.

This is weird. Just back from emergency hospital treatment for my youngest and suddenly the Rose thread explodes. Then I read some of his comments and I'm completely befuddled; his emergence as a decent FB is totally down to Poch and he publicly betrays Poch and the club to one of the most insidiously unpleasant rags there is in the footballing landscape.
Irrespective of his frustrations, this is the wrong way to do things. He was dogshit four years ago, and now we owe him a big contract? Get some honour you measly prick and talk with your employers face to face. Or, just don't sign a new contract.

Im sorry but back in planet real life where people work hard and some only get 30k a year at what point is 65k a week not paid enough

Since when did the market rate for a footballer be more in year than a nurse would earn in a lifetime?

Has it occurred to anyone else that perhaps Rose's outburst may have been prompted by it being suggested to him that he's going to have to fight for his place in the team when he's fit again? Just a thought...

If (and it is a big if) the Sun's follow-up story is true then the lot of them can fuck off as far as I'm concerned.
