All accounts for wages I'm reading are for the 2019/20 season, and are unanimous. Maybe 35k in the championship but there’s no way he’d have signed for 35k for five years without a release clause or pay rise should we get promoted! What are the sources?

What are the sources? Mainstream sources said he doubled his wages when he signed 5 year deal in Sept 2018 to around 40k per week. I don't know of any other add on arrangements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 If our most paid players are 40k (which I doubt) then I think we're financially in a perfect position. Before we went down, we were paying the likes of Tekkers and Delph 60k+. The wages and prices are constantly getting higher, so I guess having 5-6 players above that would be ok. I think we could even pay 80k+ to some players. The thing is we need to make it carefully this time. We used to give the likes of Habib Beye 40k+, ten years ago!

I don't have a clue about Mings Wesley Luiz etc. Club doesn't have to disclose wages to public do they? It's a private company. Just total wage bill accessible?

Well, I can't say I'm sure about anything regarding that. It's just what we read and based in what was said earlier. Yes the club doesn't have to, it's just that's it's good to know from some of these figures that the club have a big room of improvement financially.

That's the point I keep making regards some of the signing rumours. The new board has a long term plan. They're not going to upset the apple cart bringing in a loan player or buy a player on huge wages. We have to get to that stage over several seasons. No more crazy paying Bolasie wages for a season. I actually believe he had good intentions and went back early because he knew himself he wasn't fit enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Drinkwater is probably on the best wicket at the club at the minute. Aren't we kicking in 50% (55k pw)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, what was Bolasie problem? Many fans turned against him, but have I missed something? Yes he wasn't fit enough, but he done very good whenever he was in the pitch. He had a very good November with us last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll pay it for the next 4 months so I don't think it would effect in our longer term, and it's not that much higher than others to put a bad feeling. Without the fact that he's earning a whole 110k compared to other players regerdless who's paying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it came across to me was he did us a favour and cut his loan short because he realised he was crocked. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Surprised by Hause, Konsa and Steer. Different club and circumstances but I think Lolley was on £5k when he moved to Huddersfield from Kiddy a few years back and was a complete unknown. Those three were signed as Premier League players. If those numbers are true (dubious) then we are being much smarter with our money and it’s good to see. But we should probably sit Jack, Tyrone and McGinn down and at least double it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is first choice, trez and el ghazi compete for the other side. We also have jota as back up, that's good enough (numbers wise) unless anyone leaves.

All of whom are of debatable talent, if we cant get the right player fine, but if we could get a really good player to play alongside grealish we would be silly not to imo.

I'd say that is a problem for the summer! Really good players cost money and we should have funds then. No need to gamble on a cheap alternative now when it's not a priority.
