isn't it just our now well-documented financial sit-ewe-ae-shun

whatever he asks for, we have to budget for n (presently 44 league) games * that amount so he effectively is budgeted at the same price as a regular contracted player. We'd only be able to see actual costs at the end of the campaign. So pay per play works for our finances at the end of the accounting period, but not during the planning stage.
Or that's how I've worked it out anyway. Plus would we have to pay usual overheads for him - presumably he doesn't count as self-employed?

        i was merely passing on other people's views (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:24:03
        
        I was conveying general thoughts when were speculated to sign him (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:25:32
        
        we get your point but so what? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:28:08
        
        So are we visualising a winters night in burnley........ (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:30:24
        
        why (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:30:36
        
        because... (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:37:11
        
        True, in this case you can see it at face value though (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:39:53
        
        depends what he's asking for (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:41:23
        
        Is that official? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:43:29
        
        I said it was a rumour (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:46:46
        
        Will be interesting if he turns that club down if it happens (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:49:16
        
        alternatively (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:06:37
        
        how can we truely speculate his demands if we won't speak to him? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 16:14:18
        
        he might be genuine (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:53:04
        
        but if no one knows, then it's just easy to assume that's the case (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:56:48
        
        it just makes far more sense (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:01:11
        
        isn't it just our now well-documented financial sit-ewe-ae-shun (NCFC) - camcan, Aug 10, 16:13:02
        
        true (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 16:09:21
        
        how can we hear "officially"? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 16:12:54
        
        Then we should sign anyone we can (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:23:23
        
        Then come back and bemoan how they were available around that time (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:24:19
        
        why would we do that if we'd signed them???? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:25:48
        
        thought it said shouldn't, not should (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:29:20

        And we'll never know because Worthy won't speak to him (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Aug 10, 15:36:25
        
        supposedly he hasn't spoken to us either (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:42:18
        
        that was certainly the line from gunny and co (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:45:30
        
        Yet someone on here has said he has it on good authority that (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:50:07
        
        who (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 26, Aug 10, 15:51:44

        I agree that was stupid decision (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:44:31
        
        Wouldn't you expect an 18 year to be full of it? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:47:32
        
        As I said, totally agree (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 10, 15:51:23

        Think pants is in a timewarp. He thinks we've signed Edworthy again too (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:21:46
        
        When we signed Edworthy, he'd play 20 times a season for the last 3 seasons (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:23:35
    - Why have we signed Edworthy when he couldn't even complete a season 4 the last 3+ seasons? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 10, 15:18:24
      - Or Emblen (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Aug 10, 15:20:23
