Sergeant Tibbs Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) The most glaring thing about this thread is that whatever the real figure is, it's an obscene wage relative for what he does. Not to mention what poor value he has been for us. The sooner he's gone, the better. Edited May 9, 2019 by Sergeant Tibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) I was told from a good source that Rhodes was on £62,500 per week when he signed. I put it on here a few times. if true, £36K per week would be Norwich’s approximate cost when you include Employers NI.

TheEnchanter Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Whatever his salary is you can see how such a range in earnings across the club causes discontent and likely create an atmosphere where some players aren't willing to work as hard as others. Its better to have the players on closer salaries I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our level and in our situation i really can't see how you'd get a team willing to run through mud and give everything when one player passing to another is probably earning about 20k less a week. Its too much of a gap. Im sure we've already addressed a lot of that by releasing loads thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players on £500k per year feeling unmotivated because someone in the same side is on more money then them gets zero sympathy from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small chance he might go out on loan again but Wednesday are likely to have to pick a big % of his wages. I thought when we signed him its was a game changer but sadly not the way we all wanted.
