Title: This story still makes me laugh.... Post by: Hairydude on May 23, 2009, 01:10:37 PM Just seen Stephen Ireland is reportedly being offered £70k a week which although seems massive-considering the backing of Citeh and what Chelsea offer their players since Abramovich took over-he could probably do a seth johnson and hold out for more:
"There is a story that when Johnson arrived at Leeds to discuss his contract, his agent wanted to hold out for £13,000 a week. Peter Ridsdale entered the room and said "Right, I'm sorry but I can only offer you thirty thousand a week". Johnson's agent uttered some exclamation of disbelief and so Ridsdale said "Alright, thirty-seven thousand then". LOL GG leeds an wp Johnson- I would have loved to have seen Johnsons response when his agent told him the sum |
