I keep reading that Nicky Maynard will sign his new contract after his holidays, you know the "NEW" contract that's been on the table since May...
Of course he won't sign a new contract...Do you think his agent will advise him to sign a contract worth probably 10-15k a week or go to Leicester and earn 20k a week with a proviso that if they get promoted that could be 30k + a week.
Remember in this day and age AGENTS call alot of the shots...he won't sign a contract, we'll make a better offer and if Bristol refuse again Mr Maynard will hand in a transfer request....
Because that's how it all works,,,,,The only danger is a team like Swansea or Wigan joining the hunt.

Should Maynard sign it'll be the first time we've signed a player that is quite sought after for a long time.
When was the last time?

Do you guys honestly think Maynard will want to leave Bristol City for you guys, there will be better teams in for him should Bristol City decide to sell him before his contract is out.

Nicky Maynard, Nicky Hunt and David James are our top earners, all over 20k per week, altho im led to believe DJ is the highest.

Bristol City's wage bill suggests that the average weekly pay (for players) is maybe £8k. Possibly less. Are there really players on three times the average? Also, I can imagine James being the highest-paid, but some national newspapers reported him signing for £15k pw, not 'over 20k'.
But who knows. The club appears to spend more than 120% (!) of its income on wages, so anything is possible.

From rumours ive heard 3 players are on the 15k a week bracket at bristol city, that being James, Maynard and Stead, all the other are on under 10k

Stead on 15k? OTT that is - by about 10k.

olocky: yes, 15k sounds more likely to me. If three players were on over 20k, the average for the rest would be 6k according to my back of a cig packet calcs. Possible, but the kind of disparity that tends to cause unrest.

The 'swearing' filter on here is still way OTT. A ban on 'f*g packet'?
