Think they are right not to give him what he wants, otherwise VDB, Bailly and all the other ones would like to be paid to leave.Another one to add to Arnold and Murtough's failures if they can't move him.
I don't think he meant the amount but the lifestyle change that comes with it. Your spending habits are going to be similar if you're on 100k or 190k. After you hit a certain amount of wages its just money sitting in the bank anyway.I think there's about 90k a week's difference, but I don't have that many fingers to confirm.
Not even if that meant wasting probably the last couple of peak years of your career and likely dropping out of the England team for good, in order to sit on the bench for a club where you used to be captain and that has more supporters than any other club in the world, the great majority of whom just wish you weren't there? Then you must really love having more money than you'll ever need rather than having slightly less but still more than you'll ever need.Well yeah it's a pretty massive difference, after tax you're looking at taking home just over £100k a week on £190k and just over £53k on £100k.
I wouldn't be walking away from that without being compensated if I was in his shoes.
It's simple he failed at United but lacks the self respect and honor it takes to accept the consequences of that failure. So much for our heralded cultural reset - the cornerstone of that policy doesn't even one to move to play more, too content to sit on the bench on a fat contract. No pride whatsoever, at least Jones was nursing a career ending injury.I don't get why players are so desperate to keep their wages if the next move offers less.
- Is there really that much difference between earning £190k a week and £100k a week?
- You got a move to one of the world's best, hence the wage, but you have failed there. Therefore you don't deserve those wages.
It depends a lot on who you are supporting. Athletes or artists are often taking care of more than their own lifestyle.I don't think he meant the amount but the lifestyle change that comes with it.

We are hopeless tooMaguire is hopeless
Stick him in the reserves and make sure he never kicks a ball for us again. Useless.
This!!! I would rather see evans on the bench than himLet him rot in the reserves.
What does this have to do with the club? We have accepted the 30 million offered by West Ham, it's Maguire who is holding this up by not accepting personal terms.Club is utterly worthless at doing anything that actually needs to be done in the market.
We don’t need a replacement ready to let a 5th choice centreback go. What fecking cretins
and the wages. the biggest mistake.The only mistake the club ever made was signing him in the first place.
It's on them not negotiating his payoff from the minute WHU showed real interest in him. It's on them not being able to secure a replacement when it was clear we wanted him to go.Think they are right not to give him what he wants, otherwise VDB, Bailly and all the other ones would like to be paid to leave.
It has to be one the ones that paid 90M for him and gave him nearly 10M per year.
Let him stay on the bench, playing a game here and there and miss the Euro this summer.
Then we may sell him in a Championship club.
He's furious with the club potentially and want to be paid, but he doesn't understand that he's the cause of this comedy.
We offered him 6m, so he isn't really taking a pay cut from 190k to 100k. He is just ensuring that he grabs as much money as he can so that the club doesnt have enough to purchase his replacement. Spoiler tactics from a 90m flop he has no shame at all.If he's really having to take a 90k per week cut I can't blame him too much. There has to be some middle ground here
If we only had appointed Ragnick for our sporting director .. ffs . That guy wanted us and recommended to our board to buy Enzo,Alvarez, Nkunku and Gvardiol when they were 10 m pounds each .. and we did nothing as usual.We will never stop signing shit players like Maguire on big wages until the managers are stopped having full authority over transfers. This has to stop, we need a DOF. This is one of my main issues with the glazers.
We did it last year with Antony and looks like we done it again this year with Mount.
I’m f sick of it.
Kind of agree, fair play to West Ham for walking away aswell.The club deserve this for giving him a stupid contract, plain and simple.
Agreed. It's not going to be pretty if he doesn't get a move.Don’t know who to believe with that, considering it was reported we agreed a settlement fee.
Either way, his position will now be even more untenable because he’s going to be hounded for the perception of collapsing the deal over greed.
Exactly.I remember when criticising the fee we were paying for him at the time as being ridiculous people what does it matter not our money etc.
This is the consequence you have to sell him for a certain amount of money for it to be beneficial for FFP and because you make him world’s most expensive defender you have to pay him accordingly.
The reality is him asking for a payoff is standard practice in this scenario. I said yesterday I thought West Ham woulid get fed up and move on soon, maybe this will force a resolution but we might be stuck with him.
I know, I was being silly. That being said, it is 4.5m over a year, so I can see why you'd fight for it. I'm not sure why he feels like he deserves it, which is more to the poster's second point.I don't think he meant the amount but the lifestyle change that comes with it. Your spending habits are going to be similar if you're on 100k or 190k. After you hit a certain amount of wages its just money sitting in the bank anyway.
At the end of the day it's money he is entitled to as he signed a contract, this is on the football club and it's ridiculous negotiations at the time. It doesn't appear to be the case that he's demanding the complete difference between one salary and the other paid up, which he would also be entitled to do. I don't really get why people think footballers should be happy to take a real-terms near 50% wage cut just on a whim; it's a lot of money to just give up.Not even if that meant wasting probably the last couple of peak years of your career and likely dropping out of the England team for good, in order to sit on the bench for a club where you used to be captain and that has more supporters than any other club in the world, the great majority of whom just wish you weren't there? Then you must really love having more money than you'll ever need rather than having slightly less but still more than you'll ever need.
Not a great coach but when he suggested the amount of players that needed to go and be replaced he was quickly shown the door. Because he was showing them up for being clueless bellends.If we only had appointed Rangnick for our sporting director .. ffs . That guy wanted us and recommended to our board to buy Enzo,Alvarez, Nkunku and Gvardiol when they were 10 m pounds each .. and we did nothing as usual.
We are the biggest circus in the world and and I don't see how this is going to get better anytime soon.
We're going to be saying this alot... Antony, Hojlund, etcI remember when criticising the fee we were paying for him at the time as being ridiculous people what does it matter not our money etc.
