Stories of Pay Cuts Dismissed
By Dave NU Blogger | March 12, 2010
Mike Ashley was seen at the training fields yesterday having flown in via helicopter. No doubt one of the subjects brought up by players were the deliberately destablising reports of pay cuts next season if the team gets promoted. On the eve of another important game, we don’t need made up stories in the paper.
The Journal reported Chris Hughton was furious with the stories. He told their reporter:
“I was made aware of it this morning and as far as I know there is nothing in it. It just seems to have been plucked out of thin air. As far as I know there is absolutely not truth in it.
“The only thing we are interested in is football. Contracts and things like that can wait until the end of the season. It’s nothing I’m aware of. We’ve got used to a lot of speculation, especially financial speculation around the club.
We have 12 games left and we can’t afford to worry about anything that can detract from our objective and the sole objective is to get enough points to get promotion.”
