Guest Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 6 minutes ago, frastheowl said: It was assumed so. It would seem, the Fletcher signing was the cause of the exponential inflation of our wages. Previously, estimating, I'd say Forestieri signed from Watford for £15k/week, and then Hooper may well have come in and got £20k. Which is fair enough...top Championship teams have to pay that for their best players. Then Fletcher came in...on a 4 year deal...and I reckon he collects £30-35k/week. Abdi followed...probably on £25-30k/week, and Forestieri is left there, thinking "I'm the clubs best player, and yet I'm on half of what these new guys are on." Forestieri I reckon will be on £25-30k/week now, after his new contract. And then, you'll have the old guard, who when signed were on relatively modest wages. Lees, Lee, Hutchinson, Westwood...all who became key players along with these top earners, and all who were awarded new contracts. Those four will be on £18-20k/week easily. It doesn't take long for a sustainable FFP model, to be totally blown out of the water. And it's just a natural progression caused by hugely shifting the wage cap for one player. The club had two choices: reward the players with (deserved) new contracts...or sell. And they choose the reward option. Of which, all fans would've agreed with at the time. Id say they are more realistic figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalian Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have never told a colleague how much money i was was earning. I know i was second highest earner as was told by the Director. I didn't bragg to the three members of the team getting paid less nor did i feel resentment to the one getting more. We had all negotiated our contracts and had to be part of the same management team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouncing Owl Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I’m not absolutely sure but given the stuff I’ve read through the papers and other media, I think our top earners are; Rhodes - £40k pw Fletcher - £35k pw Forestieri - £35k pw Hooper - £32k pw Lees - £25k pw Westwood - £25k pw Boyd - £25k pw Abdi - £25k pw I think Bannan, Lee, Hutch and Reach are on less. Maybe wrong on this but it’s somewhere near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with all the ITK posters on here someone would have rough idea. Be interesting to find out who it is. Fletcher £350k a week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
