How do you know? We might not be paying anything.
Possibly zero% ;)

If we knew, we wouldn't be spending all afternoon discussing it and calling each other idiots, would we? We'd just be saying "It's 4,700 a week" and then moving on.
So why do people post saying player X is on Y pounds a week, or that we're paying Z percent of their wages? Presumably it's all guesswork based on nothing but idle speculation from people supposedly in the know.

They've probably got nothing better to do. Same as all the speculation on who we are signing in the transfer windows.
Keeps them amused I suppose.

There are plenty of people who know things. People talk and there are lots of ways information gets spread around.

Ah, but those who don't know/hear anything don't like it when other people do.

Why do people post that our board got lucky and "they did the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears yelling lalalala can’t hear you hoping it would all go away". Presumably it's all guesswork based on nothing but idle speculation.

You were too late as the Exeweb Scotties got the Eisa gig first - you snooze you lose :love:
I literally emailed as soon as Eisa was announced, so unless you lot were stood in the office when he signed his contract I've been shafted.

Very appropriate given the total lack of any value he has brought to us :(

This is extremely poor. Inevitably emails will occasionally be inadvertently overlooked but if, as you suggest [and I have no reason to disbelieve you], this happens with some regularity then, frankly, that simply ain't good enough.
I've only sent a few emails to the club or the trust over the last few years and I'd say around 30% were responded to or even acknowledged. It's not great but when it has been important I've sent messages on here or called the club and got it resolved. I do think there's an issue with the way the club monitors / responds to emails but it's not something I'm going to get in a flap about.

Indeed. Which is exactly why I said 'I think' and didn't claim it to be a fact. If you're going to try and be a smart arse, at least get the smart bit down first rather than the arse bit.
