Every club and every manager has a "bennett" ,meaning an expensive flop. Right from the top to the bottom of pro football.

I feel sorry for the lad really. We've all been stuck in sh*t jobs at one time in our lives. It almost sounds like he has fallen out of love with the game reading that interview. I hope he finds happiness in football during the next step in his career and he can look back on his playing days with fondness at the end of it. I was going to say you are having a laugh, but no, its Bennett taking the wages that the club cant afford. What's he going to do, through away his livelihood because the fans have had enough? The club happily offered and signed the contract at the time. Clearly they can still afford it too if such a large amount of debt can be written off in a global recession just a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sure he is crying into his £4.5k a week and drying his eyes with 50 notes. Bless his little cotton socks. Money makes no one happy. It provides financial security but not a lot else. Just a different set of problems from what we have.

Unpopular opinion alert... I’d love to have that income, BUT everyone seems to be forgetting that he will be losing a huge chunk of that in tax and NI each year. If he’s earning £250k a year he is taking home around £137k a year, paying out £113k that he’ll never see again. With a very short career and the moving of his family etc, and having to try and invest in long term security for his wife and kids, I doubt he’s chucking £50 notes around anywhere, more likely living in a nice house in a decent area, and trying to ensure he has no mortgage ahead of his next (far far lower paying) contract, relocation, and house move.

More interested in his business at the moment it seems, certainly puts more effort into that Yeah, he should be lounging around all day, watching Netflix whilst furloughed. I fear Garner's B...ett has been doing exactly this, if he was overweight and unfit in January I shudder to imagine what Lockdown has done to him! Tbf Bennett was a handy player after signing then turned into a waste of a place in the squad, hopefully Barrett turns out to do the opposite!🤞🏻

As far as the other poster saying KB only earns £137K net after tax that almost as much as the PM earns gross and far more than most company MD's

I mean Bennett and not the PM by the way. 👀

Needs to move on it's in everyone's interest, hasn't worked out.

If he was really interested in playing football he would have left ages ago but he isn't going anywhere on the contract he is on, unless we pay him off. Can't blame him for staying, as i'm sure he will never get a contract as good as the one he is on ever again.

He's in the final year of a very lucrative contract and he will see it out to the bitter end. If we're honest most of us would do the same. He is unlikely to be retained by Rovers and his next football contract will be a pittance in comparison. He would be mad to do anything other than sit tight and take the money.

Pointless really paying him off as that would now cost us at least £150K plus upfront, perhaps in January we can actually afford to pay him off/he might be thinking that he needs to go and earn a new contract elsewhere.
