What do we think to these alleged wages?

[royalowlisback]

Never heard of the site, nor can I vouch for it's accuracy - but thought it may make interesting reading?

 

According to this (it may be wrong) 17 of the top 100 earning players in League One play for SWFC. Couldn't see Michael Smith's name on it, so either he earns less, or it's not completely up to date (although Ihiekwe is on it).

It's hurting my eyes lol, why has it done that?

 

Can somebody who isn't a techno-idiot fix it please? 

[striker]

Considering that Bannan has already dispelled the myth that he's on that kind of money, I'd take the rest of the numbers with a pinch of salt.

I thought he dispelled the 35k rumour?

The figures may be wrong but the premise that 17 of the top 100 play for us sounds accurate.

 Thought he spoke in response to another manager suggesting he was on £20k.

What, because he's on way more

Tend to agree with that. We will be paying good money to a few, comparatively speaking with other L1 clubs.

[Big Fish]

I’d say it’s gonads mate - pretty sure Derby as part of their admin exit let it be known they can’t pay anyone more than 8k per week. And if that’s right, Bannan was on 42k per week in the Championship ?

[lanzaroteowl]

Yeah, I'm sure other teams will have one or two 'star' players earning a bit but we will be paying more over all the squad.

Fletcher was.

Insane wages for third tier professional footballers

No way Palmer is on 12k, if that is true is awful value.

There you go again, slating Palmer - who earns the same at Paterson, but contributes a lot more.

I don't think Patterson deserves 12k either, but he has played in the top division and is a technically better player than Palmer.

Give over, none of them deserve even close to what they earn, but Palmer is way better than Paterson.

[Key]

So the player ranked 100th on the list of top earners in the 3rd tier of professional football in this country earns slightly less than ten times the annual salary of a newly qualified nurse. That's disgraceful! 

 

Don't worry though, the Tory govt says that nurses pay is just fine as it is. Too right; they got clapped every week during lockdown, but are they grateful? Oh no, now they're  demanding extra money to pay for luxuries like food and heating that are rightly the preserve of the upper classes! 

 

 

You couldn't make it up!

Without getting into politics (there is a section for that) I don't think we can blame them for what football clubs pay their players, footballers earn pretty much more than anybody.
