Title: Peterborough still paying majority of Grant and Cliffs wages.
Post by: Josh Horsman on January 21, 2024, 09:12:51 am
Was interesting listing to Hard Truth podcast, that the Peterborough chairman seems to think the only reason Grant and Cliff agreed wages so low was to screw Peterborough over as they have to continue to top up their wage for 12 months. So seems we have got them on the cheap, the worry is when their compensation runs out, presuming it won’t take much to tempt them away.

If Grant and Cliff have come to Doncaster Rovers for the money then they wont be here very long.

If you think Grant and Cliff have come to Doncaster Rovers for the money then you haven't been watching his interviews.

Just going off what the Peterborough chairman said ‘the only reason they have accepted such low wages is to get one over on Peterborough’. Not saying it’s true, but also sounds concerning if figures are so low for a league 2 club.

Bit of a ‘slap in the face’ for Grant after all the service he gave to them as manager & player.

If that was true, both Grant and Cliff wouldn't be so naive as to have not considered what would happen after 12 months and would probably have negotiated a salary review to coincide with the end of the Posh compo period.

Stockton, well said.
There is always two sides to every story.
I suppose the same could have been said about McSheffrey and Schofield who we were told were both on twelve month rolling contracts.
Unless they agreed to a pay off when they left it is possible that we might have been paying them both, plus McCann, for a short period of time.

He’s trying to make money off controversial opinions. Now more than ever where engagement gets you money, there is no such thing as bad press. Hence why he pops up on talkSPORT.

Sounds like the kind of thing you could sue for defamation over.

MacAnthony is a complete Kitson. Loved the attention and controversy. Wouldn’t believe a word he says.

Yes, and not the first time McAnthony has had a spiteful swipe at Grant and Cliff.

If rovers were aware of that, I hope they said you can have a quid a week for the first year just to piss that clown off.

I can bet that same applied when GMcC was sacked at Hull and re-employed at Peterbro. After all GM was on a 1 Year roll on at Hull.

I like DM contrary to oppositions fans usual opinion. Sure Grant will be on a similar (maybe slightly more) wage to the last few managers.

  The agreement will probably be for us to up his wages when silly McCanthony who signed a contract is free of his contractual obligations to Grant and Cliff.
   That is good business by whoever at Doncaster Rovers realised we could skank the idiot.
  If nothing else it was worth doing to hear the screaming and stamping of feet, its what you do when you have been had for a pillock.

This all sound very similar to what we will have been doing to McSheffrey and Schofield when we sacked them, paying off the rolling year contract that they were on

If they really wanted to screw Peterborough, why reduce what Peterborough has to pay them by getting another job?

  Glyn, obviously missed out the part of a contract that says if you get another job we stop paying the roll on contract and have it idiot proof, the goby idiot.

Thing is, we've been told repeatedly that the managers wage is the same.
So moore, butler, wellens, mcsheffrey, and mcann will all have been on the same wage.
Which is crackers

I didn't miss that, I know it does. I can't understand why others seem to think differently.

I dont ever remember being told that. I dont ever remember being told anything about any managers wages - never mind how it compares to a previous one.

What is your source for this please?

when its been accused that the club has gone for the cheap option regarding the appointment of managers, Silent Majority always claimed it wasnt the case, because the manager was budgeted for a set wage regardless of who it was.

Pretty sure that was all said before McCann came back.
Fully expect him to be on more money than the previous novices.

possibly correct, at least i hope so.
I was wondering if it had any implications regarding grant and cliffs arrangement with peterborough. If what was said is true, then are they happy with us paying them less because they are still on the payroll at peterborough?
what happens when peterborough stop paying them ? do rovers then put them on an improved contract ? what happens if we dont, do they walk?

I would be surprised if Peterbro were still paying wages they should have the paid the remainder of the contract in full or an agreement reached on the amount of compensation they would receive whether over a period of time or immediately in full, or a if you take another job while this is in force thats it and if it wasnt more fool him
