No. Not with you at all. Widely reported that Milner is being offered £165k a week to stay. Is that basic? With or without bonuses? Not being offered that at all. What is your take? Seriously interested.

Whatever you say about basic wages is bollocks. Do you think Aguero gets taxed on £140k a week. End of the day neither you or I know what the players wages are. But what I do know is top premier league footballers earn per week is more than £200k a week. And that's exactly what Sergio and Silva will earn. What we are offering Sterling might be zero or more. It's guess work.

As an aside, I am assuming footballers aren't paid weekly are they? Do they turn up every Friday night at the cashier and get their money in an envelope then go out and spend it all on beer and pies? Very Wheeltappers.

So why the infatuation with discussing weekly numbers? Is it to dumb it down? Make it seem smaller? Do agents really say my players wants 150K per week? I suspect what they want is 600K per month, or, more likely, 7.2 million a year.

How do they talk about these things in Europe? Annually, I guess.

If the leaked payslips were correct our players are paid fortnightly.

Got to the point that I want LFC to beat Stoke to keep Rodgers in a job.

Until relatively recently (early nineties) that is exactly how they played the players at Birmingham City! Not sure one way or the other about the beer and pies bit, mind!

But that would constitute people actually taking anything you say as a 'point' starving.....

Rodgers on Sky ......how embarrassing for him,didn't know where to look as he knew he was spouting club PR bullshit.....fully knowing Sterling goes to first decent offer.....FSG are so transparent it's not worth lying,theres no chance on this earth they will risk him running contract down to free when they can make decent amount on him now.

Pulis.....whilst a twat at least speaks the truth and says Berahino will go if top club want him.Exactly what Rodgers should have said "if a top 4 club want him we won't stand in his way" ;)

lurking dippers...i know its hard to accept but your no bigger than Spuds at moment (and will stay that way for years if not ever)

Probably best not to say 'for ever', mate. That's the big mistake these 'Sky 4' clubs made that was, ultimately, Liverpool's undoing. Not having a go btw. We can all be guilty of it from time to time.

I'll say this once because I really can't be bothered with this conversation past that. A newspaper claimed that Sterling's weekly wage would be £150k per week. That's his weekly basic. Bonuses are not paid by the week outside of commission based jobs. They didn't claim he'd be earning a salary of £7.8m a year, they said 150k per week. That's basic. Whatever way you try to twist what I've been saying to suit your own argument, I've made it clear every step of the way I was only referring to basic weekly wage. I then stated that, to the best of my knowledge, from info released by the club and Ferran Soriano's preferred method of structuring staff costs, we preferred to pay a lower basic wage with higher bonuses and that David Silva and Sergio Aguero were on £140k a week before bonuses. Are you with me so far? So Raheem Sterling would not get paid £150k per week basic. Again, basic. I'm not getting into what their bonuses are, because they're fucking varied. I don't even know what my own fucking bonuses will be at the end of the year. But that £150k a week figure is bullshit planted by the pro Liverpool c**ts in the media in their little phony war with Sterling at the moment. Because that's not how we pay our staff. We could sit here and argue exact figures all night, but neither of us know what they are. What is public knowledge however, is our preferred employee benefit structure. That is the point I'm making. If you want to try and twist words to suit your argument, kindly fuck off and find a politician, because I don't have the time.

So you believe everything you read in the papers or hear on Sty / talkshite / BBC about our club?

You really should know better by now.

I thought Milner's 165k was inclusive of his signing on bonus apportioned on a per weekly basis.

Much like Sagna's was reported as being 140k - 150k last year when signed for us.

Fair point! .....Dipper mate has put bet on that they don't get top four in next 5 years...i guess he never posts on RAWK !!

It probably includes his travel costs to and from away matches mate.

If he did, he doubtless no longer has the ability to.
