Apart from Ridsdale, who has extracted the most money out of PNE while doing a shit job?

Ledson was here ages, Storey? How much did Kevin Nichols rinse us for? Whiteman hasn't justified what he's earned here...

Ashbee will be right up there.

Signed by his mate and made one of the clubs highest earners to sit on his arse and play fifa.

I don't know how much Maurice Lindsay earned but it was too much, especially when you consider he was making almost the entire club staff redundant.

Whilst we’re on the subject of Lindsay’s, I’d like to nominate Maurice’s namesake - our very own Maldini - Big Liam.

Came to PNE on 15 bags a week, apparently. 5 years later he’s still here. Can’t run. Can’t pass. Can’t turn. Can’t carry the ball. Just about good for chucking in last ditch blocks and headed clearances.

Anyone with surname Lindsay should be banned from Deepdale permanently.

Was earning more, and contracted for longer I think?

I don't know what their wages were to be fair, only that we paid 7 figures for Bayliss vs a few hundred thousand for Harrop.

I think we ended up paying Harrop for 5 years worth if contract, compared to 4 for Bayliss, but Harrop played nearly 4 times as many games for us as Bayliss, along with a dozen more goals, which surely means we got more out of him?
 
A sponge is someone who is sat on their backside and doesn't contribute. Storey and Ledson at least contributed in some way.

A list of players who could be compared to a sponge:
Conor Ripley
Brady (on a big wage and always has Christmas off)
Ian Ashbee
Tom Bayliss
Olosunde

Nah, not having that. Yes he's a limited player and had plenty of stinkers, but he's no sponge.
