Fabrizio yesterday became the first player to agree to wage deferrals. Ravanelli will defer 25% (£10,000 per week) of his tax-free wage until August of next year when his contract will also be finished.
“I am happy to help the club out,” said the Italian. I am sure Rams fans just wish they could draw £30,000 per week after playing just 4 games this season and have a £300,000 pot of gold waiting for thier summer holidays.
Sorry but the cynic in me does not see how deferring this amount actually helps the club. Fine, they don’t have to pay £10,000 each week but it is deferred and not written off remember.
Derby County will still have to find over a quarter of a million pounds in just over eight months time.
Sorry Rava, have a happy birthday mate but please don’t expect Rams fans to jump with joy because of the 25% deferral.
