I can just imagine the queue of top-calibre Championship players itching to sign on the dotted line for that kind of deal in January. If there mindset is that of a winner they would sign. If not they won’t. Win win pal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I have never heard of anything as bizarre as that. It’s actually terrible to be honest. It’s ok to say they are still getting paid but it isn’t professional at all and would put many players off from coming. As per others though it does make you choke how much footballers get paid. Our squad is really bang average at best and loads of them are on well north of £370k per year. Well over triple what a surgeon gets! Amazing really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it isn't but twitter shouldn't be taken as gospel. I think Hutchinson said it was true in his last interview, wages weren’t paid in full. It’s popped up a few times now so there’ll be something behind it I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Monkey Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) From what I’m led to believe within football, you’ll find SWFC are doing it right. The EFL have said FFP will be suspended during COVID but given no written guarantees so DC is paying salaries to what the club can sustain so as not to breach FFP and he’s topping up the rest via himself. Apparently others doing the same but because we got done recently SWFC are news worthy where as others are not.

doubleo Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 There's all sorts of weird things regarding players wages. Rooney was/is being partly paid by a betting firm, how bent is that ? Also some players get paid a minimal ammount by thier clubs then the club pays an offshore company who then pays the players. All to avoid tax. If there's a way, lawyers and accountants will find it. It's a mirky world that the ordinary man isn't party to. So nothing surprises me. I'm sure if they weren't getting their pay we'd soon know.

jonnyowl Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Maybe they get paid fortnightly. £7k at end of month, £7k halfway through the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 So when the clubs support staff are furloughed & DC makes up their wages from his own pocket he gets praised. When the club only pays the players what the club can afford in the current financial climate but makes up the rest from his own pocket he gets criticised. DC deserves criticism on many issues since his arrival, keeping the club afloat with his own money during a pandemic with no income isn't one of them. On another note I wish my bosses said to me "You've been under performing for the last year, we're only going to pay you £7000 per week, don't worry you'll get the rest later". 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I wonder if it's something he's doing to reduce the wage bill at the club. I'm just flying a kite here, I've no idea if it's true or even possible. Pay the players £7K per month and then top it up with image rights payments from D Taxis and Elev8. The cut the wage bill instantly and hey presto we are now the right side of P and S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
