Ipswich winning promotion - Ashley Young retiring the signing that kept Harry Clarke out of the team - Ipswich have a activation clause to extend his contract by one year - does McKenna seen him as part of his plans after good loans spells guess we will see, I personally don’t think so if they want to stay in the Premier League.  

He is only 25 and has had a lot of loans throughout his career has this stifled his development? Would we buy him if he is available? He’s currently on £15k a week ! Would imagine he is out of our wage structure! However he still has potential to develop and fine tune areas of his game - I was particularly impressed with his attitude on and off the pitch, at the right club he could really develop - likely he’ll be off to Derby or Preston though 

Ipswich signed him 3 and a half years ago as a 21 year old when they were in league one and he's still on the same contract. Surely he isn't on 15k a week?

That said, if Kaminski's reported salary is correct then it's not out of our structure.

Likely to have had promotion wage increase plus potentially yearly increases on top

Likely would have been in the contract that his base salary increases each year as he got older to better reflect his age and development, promotion clauses from L1-> CH and CH -> Prem would have done a fair bit as wel.

I'm impressed that so many people know the ins and outs of Harry Clarke's Ipswich contract.

You asked a question and we provided theories to answer them! Promotion increases are very common

His actual wages is only based on rumours, but base salary contract increases and promotion clauses are pretty much standard in professional football contracts

Kaminski basic wage is 14k

I’m working in Ipswich today. If I see him, I’ll ask in him how much he earns.

I'm just interested in Godden at the moment, and really feel he deserves another year as he didn't get a proper go last year due to his injury, if Dykes goes we really don't want to lose Matty at the same time...

Any insider news of which players will be released?

Many clubs have already released their retained list.

Harry Clarke is on a pay as you play contract.

Sorry all - I don’t see him so I asked the girl who served me at the Costa drive through. She didn’t know if he had a promotion increase!

I notice 2 ex academy players released by Steve Avory are  now both out of contract at Millwall. Danny McNamara and Billy Mitchell. Both local boys.

Didn't someone say Millwall had an option on Mitchell?

They’re both decent players, worth a look if we need to bulk out a squad. Given we have JRC and Doc though I’d like to think that the midfielders brought would be of a higher quality
