Kev Stewart

Any player who can only manage 127 appearances, including subs, in 10 years should be ashamed of drawing wages. If that’s not taking the piss I don’t know what is. You tell me any other job where you can be exceptionally well paid for 10 years and virtually no contribution. No I thought not.

He gets injured by accident though doesn't he? It's not deliberate.

He got injured on two occasions in the warm up, and was out for months on both occasions. And before you continue banging the same drum , no it wasn’t deliberate.

He’s not injured though is he he’s just got more important things in his life that come before playing football. “How’s the foot Kev” “oh it’s terrible I couldn’t possibly kick a ball I must go now my business won’t run itself plus I’ve got gym again tonight” he has taken the piss!

So it's not really "taking the piss" then is it? It's just misfortune.

Bollocks. It’s the clubs fault for signing him, not Kev’s fault for trying to feed his family and two boys.

The bloke is a millionaire, he has a vast property portfolio. Don’t give me that shit about needing to earn a living. Everything you post just proves more and more how completely out of touch you are with reality.

He's right though. The bloke is trying to have a football career but keeps getting injured. It's not his fault and it's no reflection on his character.

If you want to lash out because a good player keeps getting injured, chuck your toys at whoever's decision it was to extend his contract despite his extensive injury history.

If you're gonna have a go at Stewart, do so 'cos he has a ** "property portfolio" and acts like a budget Andrew Tate on Twitter.
 
Not really sure why there is such aggression on KS. If the club agree to sign and pay it’s up to them - it doesn’t come out of your wages so why get so irate about it?! If he can prove his fitness and the club negotiate an amicable deal for all parties , I’d be delighted to see him sign as he’s an incredibly talented Midfielder that would boss League One.
 
Baffle me some fans do yes Kevin and keshi were good players but they didn’t want to play and you can’t make them if they say they are injured, who are you to argue it’s human rights, the worlds fucked if you actually feel sorry for them they are dead wood and good riddance to them

"Didn't want to play"
That's (one of) the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on here.
Deary me Enzo

So you reckon he's played less than 13 games per season over 10 years?

If your figures are right and if my maths is right, and he's averaged say £10k per week wages in that period, he's cost the club he's played for almost £40k every time he's actually played. 🤔

That's a lot of bums on seats to cover the lads wages in that period.

I don’t believe for one microsecond that he was paid £10k a week regardless of whether or not he paid.

And it’s not particularly relevant to whether he’s offered new terms or not. It’s a reverse sunk-cost fallacy; the fact he cost us a certain amount on one deal doesn’t reflect what he could do for us on a different contract that is (even more) weighted to paying him per appearance/win.
 
With Norburn, Trybull, Dougall and Connolly all capable of playing that position, is there really any need to take such a gamble on Stewart? The club and physio team would have to be confident his injuries really have been resolved or agree such a good contract in its favour it becomes a "no brainer'. Let's make one thing clear though, a fit Kevin Stewart would be the best player, in his position, in L1, therein lies the problem, it really is about risk and it would be kind of sods law that he'd sign for someone like Bristol Rovers, play 35 games and end up getting them promoted. 😏

Really? Not for one nanosecond? Read the links pal.

Contract info

I mean … come on … even they admit that every word of this is dog 💩

‘All salary figures are estimates as actual salaries may vary. Unverified players are calculated using algorithms, or sourced from reporting that has not been confirmed yet. Coverage may be limited or incomplete.’

Presumably they have access to his contract and bank account?

I understand that you’re not the sharpest tool even in this particularly blunt box but surely even you understand that the fact something is written on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true?

TKL, you're saying I'm not the sharpest tool yet you don't have a scooby what my IQ is or how intelligent I am? Not exactly a comment from someone rich in the grey matter department is it pal? Or maybe you're just trying to be a clever ** on a fans message board.

I'm sure the figures that are recorded come from some reasonable source, they may or maybe not totally accurate but I cannot imagine someone just sitting there and inventing them.

Those figures are correct, the only decent run was for Hull. 71 appearances in 3 years.

I wouldn’t extend your sympathy too far on him, he’s just been paid close to half a million last season for doing nothing I think he’ll be ok on the other hand I worry about our football club paying out such sums as that’s clearly not sustainable
 
Pointless thread if you ask me. Kev Stewart's paperwork will now be in Sadler's padlocked drawer along with Bez Lubala's and Joe Nuttall's. Now it's all been paid off by the Yates money that we'll never see!

The only embarrassment on here is you aiming cheap insults on a message board to a fellow Blackpool fan, according to other people (Albert Ross for example) the figures are correct and not made up, and where does it say anyone admits they're made up?

There's a time and place for insulting people, doing it on a message board means you're the one embarrassing himself, get a grip of yourself lad.

I’m not the one who read this and thought ‘yes I’m sure this is an accurate indication of what 29-year-old midfielder Kevin Stewart earned playing for Blackpool in 2023’

too many games as a kid catches up with you. It is a shame he was injured last year as we needed him badly. Great player when fit.

Kev Stewart was a good player but Briddcutt’s got to be there with the worst to ever wear tangerine he was bloody awful, near enough every time he got the ball he lost it we’d of been relegated a lot sooner his injury was a blessing

Bridcutt was decent! For about 20 minutes.
 
BFC_BFC_BFC said:
I think Stewart is a great player and if we could get only 10-15 games out of him, I’d still be happy with that, because I think he’d do enough in those games to merit inclusion in the squad…. He’s absolutely class imho.

That said, I do also think there are other players (rightly or wrongly) would have made different choices about their ‘fitness’ to play.

He gives the impression of someone who won’t turn out, unless he feels 100% perfect

Similar view. An absolutely terrific player but as far as injuries go, I think he's the opposite of someone like Jerry or to be fair wor Gaz, who used to play when you could pretty much hear bones creaking and tendons snapping as he ran about.

It might be unfair, but I share the impression that Kev is a little less likely to risk long term damage to get on the pitch.

Whichever way you cut it, Stewart has been an expensive addition to the wage bill and if i was a club Chairman would not entertain having him on the payroll. I've read a number of sites that list wages and contracts and they all pretty much say the same thing so why wouldn't I or anyone else think they must all be telling porkies? Either way lets leave it there, my (according to you Einstien) less than sharp brain is bored of the subject now.

Yes they’re all fiction. Mostly copied from each other as well. Of use only to the terminally gullible and dim.
 
i just don't see any value in taking a risk with him. We've signed midfield players to cover his position. No matter how fit he might seem now, any knock or tackle seems to have an effect on him and the demands of the hustle and bustle of L1 football will i expect only lead to further lengthy spells on the sidelines. We can best use the money saved on him elsewhere.
 
Let's put his personality, finances and his personal life aside. The questions are do we need him? Does putting him in the squad fill a gap that desperately needs filling? Or are we better using that squad place for another position? For me the answer is clear that we would be better off siging someone in a position that we at least need back up for. As good of a player as he is, we are already well equipped in that area. Even after all this talk though, what we all think is irrelevant. If Critchley wants him and the club are happy to pay him, then that's all that matters.

So on that basis are any websites correct in terms of contracts and salary?

We hear enough about players supposedly on huge wages, are we saying here that all the news we hear about such and such a player getting £500k a week in the Saudi League are a load of bollocks? Quite frankly I don't think so, we know for a fact players are on huge amounts in the PL and we also know clubs have to lodge contracts with the FA in London, so that information is coming from somewhere.
