buctootim Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 How much you reckon one of these Vegas trips cost the club? £100k? Its okay coz Cortese will put next years parachute payment on black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genk Posted 5 May, 2012 Share Posted 5 May, 2012 If it is such a big deal to them then I'm sure they can all get their wallets out and pay for a lads holiday themselves. It's not like the overpaid bunch don't have enough money to go if they really want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the overpaid bunch don't have enough money to go if they really want to. Says a man who is clearly not married with kids....... Picture the two conversations in your own home.... "Honey - me and the lads are heading off to Vegas for a long weekend and a right massive party." vs "Oh wow, the Boss is paying for ALL the lads to go to Vegas for a long weekend and a right massive party, sorry babe I HAVE to go, it's work". Trust me The first line NEVER works when you are married with kids (insert ANY City name btw). But the second line worked all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambosa75 Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 The fun you could have in Vegas on a professional footballers wage... Chucking $1000 chips around, a load of brasses on the go, VIP tables, all the booze you can drink and all the gear you can sniff. No better way to celebrate. Sign me up.

lordswoodsaints Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 Spoke to a player today and the trip has definately been cancelled because one of the players blabbed to the echo,he wouldn't say which player it was and I won't say which player I spoke to.

To be honest that is ridiculous. So what if they told the Echo ? Anyone who watched the dressing room celebrations put up on the OS or follows any of the players on Twitter knew about it. Still if they really want to go its not like they cant afford it is it ? Perhaps out of the bonus they would have got for getting promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 I don't get why it needs to be secrets? Is they worried about security issues? Is they worried that given advance warnings the echo will send along a reporter and do tabloid scoops on the players being all drunk and doing roastings?

natty_noodles Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 Player on our table last night said it was cancelled due to Echo leak and so did a lot of other players so no secret - as everyone has has said they were chanting in the video and putting it on twitter.

kpturner Posted 6 May, 2012 Share Posted 6 May, 2012 Can't see what?Can't you see? It is plainly obvious to DJ that despite winning promotion and attending award dinners and promotion parties etc, the players have decided that they are bored, and therefore have colluded into fabricating some "the vegas trip is off" story to wind up the fans that they happen to speak to at one of the dinners. They have done this because it will be so hilariously funny - clearly. Come on SM - if you cannot see this then there must be something wrong with you. I was at the awards dinner, and I did wonder why they kept s n i g g e ring behind their hands every time they said something like "it has all gone quiet with regard to Vegas". Now that DJ has set me straight, it has all become clear. I feel so foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of the players have you actually spoken to about it btw? Personally I have no idea if this fabled trip is happening or not (nor do I care that much)- but I am pretty sure your "player wind-up" theory is a tad far fetched.
