    Being serious I actually think there is a degree of truth in this with giving Rodgers big salary, there is an expectation he will be manager and DoF.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if in our efforts to keep wages down that the club see Rodgers as taking up the budget for both.

    What a signing he's been.

    Up there with Rafael * and Barkas.

    Queen’s Park friendly we had about 20+ players getting a game but not a sign of McCarthy, pay him up and get done with it

    Depends on whether or not McCarthy wants to end his contract. It's likely he will have a loyalty bonus in there of some sort plus a portion of his signing on fee. Won't be just as simple as paying off the remainder of his contract.

    Na, no where near that level.

    He made a respectable contribution in his first season, if we hadn't been stupid and just gave him a 2 year deal there would be no huge calls of what a waster.

    His pass for Jota's first goal was worth the 4 year wage alone :fear:

    Why does everyone forget that the longer contract is highly likely due to the wage drop he'll have taken to join us?

    It was tongue in cheek to be fair, but yeah a massive waste of money. For a board so tight, we don't half waste money.

    He might even like the routine of turning up to training all week, keeping in shape and having a kick about. Then cracking a few jokes in the changing room. Apparently he provides value to the club through his quality banter.

    it would be up to him to accept being paid off but other factors you mentioned can easily be taken into account when getting him off books and out our bloated squad

    No exaggeration there. He’s genuinely one of the luckiest guys around.
