Eric Lichaj at Fatih Karagümrük SK

Benched today.

 

Came in at the 66th. Forest pull out big win with winner in the 93'. 2-1 over Norwich

 

But subbed on in the 66th. Forest had a late comeback to win 2-11.

 

Sounds like a blowout to me.

 

Went 90 and picked up a yellow in a 3-0 away win.

 

Gets the start today vs the Brekless Blues.

 

Went 90 in 2-1 loss to Birmingham City.

 

Bumping our boys to the 1st page. Gets the start vs Rotherham. Good day for the YA Championship edition.

 

0-0, Lichaj 90.

 

1 of the bright stars this season and last. Just sucks that he's not in the PL

 

"Bright star" is a bit generous. The guy barely played for 8 months.

 

considering we only have Geoff and 2 goalkeepers

 

Went 90 in 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough. Forest went down a man in the 60'. 32,000 in attendance.

 

Forest started as one of the Top Two in the Championship, and stayed there for the first six fixtures. Since then, it's been a rough road. With half of the games played, they stand at #10 and in free fall, with a +2 GD (but also falling).

I don't see them moving to the Premiership any time soon.

 

Another loss for Forest, 3-1 at home to Birmingham. Lichaj 90.

 

Signed a 2.5 year extension, his current deal was to run out this summer. Probably gives him a bit of a wage increase I'd think?

 

Interesting. 2.5 years, does it mean he plans to come to the MLS in January 2018?

Not sure if this is just poorly-worded. The Football League website says the following:

http://www.football-league.co.uk/ne...signs-new-nottingham-forest-deal-2173778.aspx

 

Brits note their extensions as though the contract begins the day it's signed (which, technically, it does). So, a 2.5-year "extension" is really a new contract that lasts for 2.5 years, rather than 2.5 years tacked on to the end of the current contract.

 

That makes more sense. Good for Eric. Sadly, I don't see Forest making it back to the Premiership in that period of time.

 

Do you guys have any idea how much Lichaj might make per year? I'm not familiar with Championship wages.

 

Not sure, but I'm curious as well. He had low wages for that club but it was in the PL whereas he's a starting XI for NF now he's making decent wages though it's in the Championship.

 

Dan Harding, who plays on the other side, is reported to make 46K Euros per month, which makes 552K Euros per year, which is 675K USD/year.

Eric must be doing something close to that.

PS: All that is basic fees, who knows about bonuses.

 

Yeah - Impressive research by that site.

why is it so hard to find about footballer wages? It's even more difficult for say in the Italian or French leagues.
