I didn’t say Souttar was on over 25k a week I said he’d been offered it at Blackburn which was from a poster on here who knew him and was adamant he was signing for us.My mates son played with Simpson at Bournemouth and they are still mates. You are way wide of the mark regarding Simpson's wage with us, and I mean wildly off the mark. What you've quoted as a weekly wage was closer to what his monthly wage would have been.
Depending on where you source information on wages, I can get access to basic pay without bonuses based on insurable value of each player as recorded on the clubs insurances and that data tells me that only 7 players have a weekly wage on or above £20k per week and Souttar isn't one. He may have weighty appearance fee's loaded to his contract but his basic is not what you think.
He said he came here due to family issues which we all now know about.
As for the Simpson thing by all means go ahead and post this info you have as anyone can say anything.
