Paul Gallagher

[davieG]

If we give more than 1 year contracts to many of those now out of contract then we clearly haven't.

Unless there's a relegation clause in it that stipulates an acceptable Championship wage, of course if they've been one our better players despite any relegation you risk losing them but then I guess you do anyway.

[Poznan34]

Cheerio.   

[indierich06]

Although he was good for us a couple of years ago, I do feel its time for a parting of the waves. One of the best passers of a ball and free kick takers we have had since being out of the premier league

 

He's not ****ing Moses.

[okie fox]

He's not ****ing Moses.

If he was, he would already be in the Premier League.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Get rid

[Bettsj2]

He deserves a chance to come back and prove himself. Can see Premier League football suiting his game more than someone like Mahrez.

[Trumpet]

Am I wrong in thinking even if a player has 4 years left on his contract, if he is sold you don't pay the remainder of said contract?

[daddylonglegs]

He has scored some ridiculous goals for us.  He can evidently strike a ball, but he has no physicality, no pace and struggles to do the simple things well. I liked him when Sven was in charge, but since then I'm not a massive fan. He's a poor man's Marshall, which is a really, really poor man.

[Mack]

He is stuck in limbo in that he wont quit / sign for another club because of the overblown wages no one else will offer him.

So he is almost certainly set for another season on loan with us paying at least part of his wages.

Some of these comments 

[ScouseFox]

run his contract down whilst we pay him whatever it is and he's on loan somewhere. don't blame him, if we as a club were stupid enough to offer him a 3 (i think) year extension on big wages i don't see why he's to blame for taking it. we'd all do the same. 

 

i always liked him when he featured in our squad, still scored the best goal i've ever seen live but i think fans of his and even gally himself would admit he is clearly not good enough for a premier league squad.

Effectively a transfer fee is to buy a player out of his contract, but the player has to agree to it, so PNE offer us a small amount to agree to cancel Gallagher's contract, we say yes, but Gallagher looks at the wages PNE are offering, say half what he is earning here, he will say that isn't fair, if I sign for them I will lose £500,000 in wages that Leicester agreed to paid me. I am owed that £500,000 as I have a contract with Leicester.

 

So we say ok Paul, we just want rid, here is £500,000 now bugger off.

 

Gallagher can either accept this and agree to terminate his contract and fvck off, or say no and demand more to cancel his contract, which could be the full wages we would owe for the year left on his contract.

 

So depending on what PNE are willing to offer and what Gallagher demands as compensation, it could well be more cost effective to let him run out his contract and send him on loan again.

 

That is my understanding.

 

All figures are illustrative and not factual, I have no idea whether Gallagher would do that and I am not trying to besmirch his name, but we effectively did this for Mills and Beckford.

[65RosesFox]

Sit back and take the silly wage & length of contract he was given. Bogarde style.

Don't you mean Conrad Logan style?

[Ashley]

I hope the ginger tosser rots same goes for his sponging brother in law?(BRFC24) with the cocky posts.

[Dan]

If it's any consolation I don't think it'll have a big impact on us anymore either way.

[WhispyWizard]

If his contract is until 2015, he'll take a year of inflated promotion wages.

Won't hear about him again until hes released at the end of next year.

[Tom17LCFC]

Little fairy. My sister could put in a better tackle than him. He's an absolute cvnt off the pitch as well.

[5waller5]

I liked Svennis but Gally's new contract was one of his biggest mistakes.

[MC Prussian]

If his contract is until 2015, he'll take a year of inflated promotion wages.

Won't hear about him again until hes released at the end of next year.

There's still the possibility of him going out on loan again or (rather unlikely, I admit) another club buying him out of his last year.

[broughtonblue]

He's not ****ing Moses.

When did I say he was?

[Guest Col city fan]

For fooks sake! Who gave bloody Gallagher a long term contract on 15k a week??

Oh yeah, I remember...

[Out Foxed]

go away gally

[Tommy G]

Give him another shot at the number 10 role!

Everyone has one in their workplace. Let's call him P to protect his identity. Protected by his terms and conditions of employment, signed in an era when company cars and final salary pension plans were all the rage, P arrives at the office like clockwork at 9 and leaves at 5 Monday to Friday. He refuses to work overtime or weekends unless given 2 weeks advance notice and double the rate of pay. His wage increase are fixed by reference to a mathematical table (which he devised himself) and only P himself has the power to terminate or amend his contract. P doesn't work, he simply exists. One day, he will retire, and the world will be a better place.
