Will you be getting overtime pay today Denime?

Thanks again for all the work.

[Red CB Toronto]

Good morning to all, always enjoy the one stop place for all my TFC news.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Holy crap. Looks like a busy day for Toronto press. And Denime. And then Roogsy.

[Darlofletch]

We're building a winning culture everyone's positive, and then here comes dero to leave a giant turd on to all of that.

Oh boy, another article pissing on De Ro for trying to secure his future. I find it hard to have sympathy for another person who comments on De Ro wanting more money without ever understanding the serious hit in income he's going to take in the next couple years when he retires.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

shoulda worked for the city or shoulda asked for a bigger contract first time around.
dudes made what? 2 million in the last 4-5 years on salary alone, not counting advertisements.
I dont feel that bad

2 million in 4-5 years is not much over a lifetime. Even over five years that's only 400,000 a year.

And that will fall significantly as he ages.

I can't and won't blame him for wanting to get paid what he is worth to this team, especially when the income falls off pretty rapidly afterwards.

dero needs to go away --- no way should he be blackmailing the team or mlse

[Carts]

HAHAHAHA.... Epic line...

Well played...

oh honestly, really? His not taking an "income hit" in retirement should have been well planned out before now lol what a joke.

[snoopdog]

Hello, and good morning to all,

'denime' Great Job Researching all things TFC !

[Ageroo]

Dude is giving Guyanese people a bad rep.......

Oh Boo-F**king Hoo. Maybe you should start a pension fund for him.

[ManUtd4ever]

It's a shame that today's headlines are dominated by the DeRo contract controversy overshadowing the optimism expressed by incumbent players (including DeRo) and recent draft picks looking forward to working under Aron Winter's tutelage.

If only DeRo had worn a muzzle after the press conference, everything would be fine today.

At the very least, it appears that this situation will be resolved one way or another by the start of the season, with or without DeRo, and not linger throughout the year...

[mastermixer]

dero needs to go away --- no way should he be blackmailing the team or mlse

This has to be settled ASAP regardless of who is right or wrong. If DeRo thinks he is 'at risk' playing a game without a new contract how much use is he going to be during camp?

The guy is lining up DeroEnt and is generally a very ambitious guy. I'm sure he will do well as long as he wants to work. I don't know if he will be making more or less than his current $450k, but I bet he will be earning more than 90% of TFC for many years to come. Nothing to get worried about, nobody is gonna starve.


EDIT: meant to say, more than 90% of TFC supporters

DeRo's public antics will have a negative impact on his marketing potential and earnings in the GTA after he retires. I can't understand why he's chosen to go down this path...

2 million dollars is more than what i have ever made and more than what most people have made. You could easily live a comfortable lifestyle with 2 million dollars. Unless dude is pissing his money away on things.

I dont begrudge him wanting more money, i do begrudge how hes behaved in trying to get that money

Really??? I don't know many people that make that kind of money over a lifetime.. I guess the more you make the more you spend..

I'm sure he won't be living on the streets anytime soon..

Did we know the Dutch colonised Guyana?

Oh boy, another article pissing on De Ro for trying to secure his future. I find it hard to have sympathy for another person who comments on De Ro wanting more money without ever understanding the serious hit in income he's going to take in the next couple years when he retires.

He renegotiated. Didn't have to. There was no gun to his head.
If the team/league chooses to make him honour his existing contract... c'est la vie. If he thinks he can make more elsewhere he is free to try and entice someone to buy up his existing contract and pay him more.

Retirement woes? Get real. I am retiring soon. Knew I would be and planned accordingly. I will take a huge pay hit and will, like many others, have to learn to live with it. DeRo is retiring from football eventually... but that is not the end of life.
If he faces finacial hardship that is because he didn't do his homework and plan ahead.

Second career? Many people have had them and for ex-atheletes... the rules are the same.

[Auzzy]

Good point. However, some might say "there's no such thing as bad press" when you want to be involved in the entertainment industry. Plus he still has a few years to rectify his image in the Toronto area, or to build his image in some other city on the planet. If he decides to.

But Winter & his family are actually from Suriname, also involved with the Netherlands during the colonial period, although a bit more complicated...

You do know that 2 million is more money than most Canadians make in their lifetime don't you?

If he hasn't invested a large portion of that money than he is a fool.

If he can't get by for the rest of his life with what he has been paid to kick a ball around, then he can get a real job like the rest of us.

[Batman]

Has he burnt so many bridges, that he wont be able to WORK at anything when he retires from playing?

Come to think of it, maybe he has!

What's he planning on doing for the next 30 years?

I wonder why pro athletes always use the argument that they have to earn a bundle during their playing years because their careers are short. They should have a good look at the rest of society.
