I always thought that, but after listening to a lot of ex pros on Undr The Cosh it sounds like its also common for the player to take a pay cut while on loan. Maybe that pay cut is in the details for app fees and other bonuses, but I've heard it more than once, so there must be something in it. -- Explains why SWP preferred to stay in the bomb squad during his time at the QPR retirement home funded by Kia |  | |  |

Yep, just so people know, this was started by a random EFL fan account on X with an AI image of Sterling in a QPR kit with the quote "he wants to stay in London". Sooo that'll be Fulham or riding out his 325k a week deal with Chelsea B for the next 18 months.. |  | |  |

He has left Chelsea by mutual consent. Wants to stay living in London. Obviously now there is no need to have him on a £300k per week. Probably £80k a week perhaps. Won't be Arsenal obviously either. Can see him ending up at Palace myself. |  |

Makes sense and I guess why they would not want to go out on loan as having to survive on around £200k-£250k per week must be quite tough. [Post edited 28 Jan 17:07]

| Raheem Sterling on 17:15 - Jan 28 with 2324 views | 100percent | So he had the best part of 25m left on his chelscum contract - probably settled on 15/18m to tear it up. Gives him the opportunity of taking a signing on fee and taking a new contract at a new club on around 50/80k per week. Absolutely love that he has completely and utterly fleeced the scum from down the road... further solidifies his contribution to QPR folklore without even playing for us... |  | |  |

Oh how we (rightly) laughed about the Winston Bogarde situation at Chelsea many years ago. Modern football is now full of them but serves the clubs right for dishing out stupid contracts with massive lengths (to get around amortisation) on even more stupid amounts. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

| Raheem Sterling on 13:15 - Jan 28 by Ned_Kennedys | If he wanted to be playing football then he would have had numerous opportunities to do so over the last few years by going out on loan or agreeing a termination deal with Chelsea. Money is clearly more important to him which is understandable given the eye watering sum Chelsea are wasting on him every day: fair play to him but he certainly doesn’t deserve any sympathy. |

I think we all agree on that one Ted. Everyone moans about politicians and the rank and file on around £80k a year, some with a few extra pennies through illicit means but nowhere near your half decent footballer, and in theory, at least, politicians are making the laws of the land etc and Surgeons or most that work for the NHS saving lives on extremely average wages by way of comparison. The curse of modern football sadly. And half of them arent that good either.... [Post edited 28 Jan 17:29]

Well the footballers wages Issue have been here a long time now, and I don't blame the players one little bit, they're wages are obscene and will remain so until eventually football or the World Itself explodes. |  |

Well given what was about to occur, I was thinking if I was in his boots, multi millionaire at 30, great career enhanced by a club that took me on, taught me what I needed to know and ended up never actually playing for them, I might want to repay them by seeing if I could spend a paltry three months helping them eradicate that four point difference and maybe propel them to the promised land of similar wealth. Yes, I know, but I can dream can’t I ? 😂 |  | |  |

There's clearly too much money in football. But it's there and it's not going away so honestly I'd rather it goes in the pockets of the players than the owners. The players arent the ones who are charging obscene amounts to attend games and they aren't doing anything different to what any of us would do in the same situation if we're honest |  | |  |

Imagine Sterling going full pelt down the right, only to be overtaken by Mbengue bellowing in his ear for the ball, so he can bomb on and cross it to whomever the fcuk he's aiming for in the Upper Loft. I'm in!! |  |

Urrr… he DID go out on loan last season. And he HAS just agreed to a termination with those cnts down the road. Sterling has had to deal with this sort of stuff his entire career. People are very happy to generalise or assume his character. Even when arguably England’s leading light he was always more heavily scrutinised / criticised than some of those around him. It’s frankly unfair and a bit scary / worrying for me. Listening to Ian Wright talk about his and his son’s experience during their careers and chats he’s had with Jude Bellingham on Stick to Football is utterly heartbreaking. Les has said some eye opening things of a similar nature over the years too. Jack Grealish gets photographed practically comatose on a Balearic island in the summer or completely paralytic getting off an open top bus and he’s a ‘lad’ and it’s all bants. Same for when he can’t even put a pin in where Birmingham is on a map of the British Isles. Now imagine that’s Raheem Sterling or Jude Bellingham behaving like that - what are the headlines then? How does the press portray them? Personally, as a product of my football club’s development and educational system, I’m very proud of everything Raheem has achieved AND the way he’s conducted himself over his entire career and he doesn’t deserve to be brandished with lazy assumption that don’t even really have any basis in fact. |  | |  |

I agree. Obviously modern football is all about money. But it'd be great if a few players had a Matt le tissier mentality and just became heroes for smaller teams Sterling could come to us and if motivated and playing well could become an ilias chair like legend at the club and yeah he would dominate the league. Its curious why football players don't desire that feeling of being a team legend. |  | |  |
| Raheem Sterling on 08:34 - Jan 30 with 542 views | Phildo | He played a lot of games when picked- i.e. never cried off with injury. After his first cap for England his first call was to Steve Gallen to say thank you. Also drained a tonne of cash out of north battersea. Undoubtedly the right sort. Wonder if Palace pick him up?

Le Tissier's loyalty was commendable but also he didn't want to go to a big club where they would have wanted him to run around a bit and get fitter. |  | |  |
