I bet his agent will be trying to get him a deal Nixon will be saying Sunday 3 clubs interested no way DJ is worth 19.5 grand a week .
Brown the same .
Last season & 1st half of this season fans were saying both brown & DJ weren’t worth there wages .
Will someone please look back .
No room for sentiment in football.
That’s been our biggest problem for years we have kept players to long & renewed some when they should have been let go like Huntington Maguire all got 2 year deals.
Some have been renewed that should have gone this summer.
Our fans don’t like favourites getting released fact .

In your opinion, of course.
It is a fact though that the two of them have played a large number of minutes in the Championship every year since 2015. In addition to this, they have regularly been two of our standout players in each of those seasons - to me, that is as close to a definition of a "Championship-standard" player as you can get.
Assuming that this website is accurate (which it seems to be, given that our 3 highest earners are listed as being paid exactly what is regularly posted on here), DJ and Browne are the joint-83rd highest earners in the league.

Whilst their wages are a significant expense for PNE - given that we pay an average weekly wage of £11.5k p/w, according to Kieran Maguire - they are not a particularly large outlay for a Championship-standard player (which both Browne and DJ have proven themselves to be given the fact that they have quite literally played in the Championship for 8 consecutive years) because there are 82 players earning higher wages than them in this division this season.
The fact that they are "favourites" - not sure how that works given that they seem to be slated every match for being inconsistent or not trying hard enough - doesn't really factor into it.
If you'd rather us let DJ go and persist with Ledson and Woodburn (earning around £12.5k p/w, by the way) in midfield, then you keep on going.

83rd best paid is pretty good when you consider Burnley’s average players wages are massive then there is all the other clubs receiving parachute payments .LIn your opinion, of course.

There is also over 600 players in the championship.
Let’s face it we are a small club .
Mark Rankine, don’t forget him.👍
I liked how he would start an attack from the back and get himself right up the pitch.
So Alex Neil is not the messiah that some think he is?
Yep, some need to be careful what they wish for. We will miss him when he is gone. Lowe should have played him a lot more than he has this season.

Okay, so you've changed from "DJ isn't worth his wage" to "we're a small club"? He is well-paid, but my point is that this isn't a ridiculous wage. He would earn the same if not more at other clubs at this level.
Also, I'm not trying to say that we're a big club at this level whatsoever but it speaks volumes that there are no Luton, Coventry or Sunderland players in the top 100.
It's not how much money you have, it's how you spend it and which manager you're buying the squad for. Having more makes it easier to spend poorly and get away with it, but time and again the clubs that spend smartly make progress.
Meanwhile, we are regressing.

I think that's stretching it somewhat especially recently.

For me it is time to twist. DJ is good on his day/against certain teams but he isn’t getting any younger. Totally understand he wants to get the best deal for himself.
Let us see what Lowe can do with the money. This club will not be increasing the budget for players so it is probably one of the few options Lowe has to have any sort of war chest.

Or, our fans don't like our best players a) not being played and then b) not being offered a new deal until it's too late.
Absolute tragic the treatment of DJ this season. Ledson has played more minutes in the league than him and for DJ to only start 26/46 league games is a joke.
And if you think we'll be better off without him, more fool you. We won't adequately replace and we further regress
Atlantis Hotel on the Palm. Lovely little spot to consider your options.
Here lies the problem. The adequately replacing bit. If the club could be trusted to do that then I'd be quite happy for DJ to go with our best wishes and his wage to be used elsewhere. It's the fact that we have no faith in the club to do that that sees supporters clamouring for established players who are probably on a downward trajectory in their career to stay.
