Ultimate proof management are insane

[Edwahu]

If this quote from the SMH is true:

Bulgarelli was about to benefit from a large increase in his salary to more than $100,000,

Then management need to be taken out and shot for giving a player of Boogs standard a contract that would let him earn near that.

 

[DJ Raida]

thats the most spastic thing ive EVER read, EVER

 

[Raider_69]

if i may steal a phrase from DJ:

truth!

 

[lotm]

you're all very quick to blindly accept media reports when they support your opinion.

poor form.

 

[I Bleed Green]

That is just nuts, if true, which I suspect it is. What a joke.

 

[Tokyo_Raider]

$100,000 is really not that much money. No way I would go through what those guys go through for anything like that little.

That's a very short-sighted and arrogant comment IMO. That is a lot of money to many people, just because it might not be to you.

 

[Raider Ultra]

I don't know why people are so outraged at this. Most of the fringe first graders would be on the same amount.

Not to mention it didn't say that he's on $100,000... it said an INCREASE of $100,000. What if he was already on 50, 100 grand? That's 150, 200 grand. It's insane for a player of his 'calibre'.

Consider also that the average paycheque among the top 25 players of each club is $130,000 - I don't think any of us would disagree that Boogs was worth less than the average.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Increase is the key word. We don't know what he was already on.

 

[greeneyed]

Well less than the average.

 

[jed]

And not to mention, there's no reason that a player's contract shouldn't have different figures for each year. Take Withers for an example - what's to say that Bulgarelli wasn't on a contract where he got let's say $75K for 2 years and $100K for the third - $250,000 over 3 years is probably the high mark that he could have hoped for, especially considering he showed promise in 2003 (aside from the Warrior's semi).

this is what i mean. some people read what they want to read to suit their argument.

re-read the quote, ibleedgreen. it says "bulgarelli was about to benefit from a large increase in his salary TO more than $100 000". it seems you're eager for this rumour to be true. even if it is true, your interpretation leaves a lot to be desired. firstly, it was a LARGE increase. that suggests that he was on a low salary to begin with. secondly, it didn't even suggest that it was an increase OF $100 000. it was an increase TO $100 000.

i'd be interested to see how many of you will blindly accept media reports when they contradict your points of view.

 

[Edwahu]

What would Boogas value be on the open market? I doubt he would get a contract frankly, so if we wanted to keep him there is no reason for the club to pay him more then the smallest amount possible, which would be 50k under the CBA. Increases are fine if they are peformance based.

Bulgarelli was about to benefit from a large increase in his salary to more than $100,000

i don't care what you naysayers say, that is a F*CKING JOKE!!! (assuming it's true - there's no reason to believe that it's not)

 

[Kris_man]

lotm, stop avoiding the point, which is: Is Jason Bulgarelli worth 100K or not?

lotm, stop avoiding the point, which is: Is Jason Bulgarelli worth 100K or not?

exactly - and the answer is - no, but then again money doesn't necessarily go the people who truly deserve it in today's world

(assuming it's true - there's no reason to believe that it's not)

baaaa

baaaaaaaaa

lotm, stop avoiding the point, which is: Is Jason Bulgarelli worth 100K or not?

i'm not avoiding the point at all. there's no way that boogs is worth $100k.

i'd like some corroborating proof that mgt were on the verge of offering him that money before i'll accept the rumour. there's a poster who implied that management weren't keen to renew his contract and that's why they sacked him - completely contradicting this "increase to 100k" theory. imo, he has about as much credibility as the media.

 

[Kris_man]

oh yeah, listen to some random poster, but don't listen to the newspaper :roll: . look lotm, forget about the rumour - how much is Bulgarelli worth?
