Wait WTF, Lossl is on £45K???????

That’s the one that gets you???

 

[carolinablue232]

Mina on £135k
Bernard on £130k
Iwobi on £100k
Delph on £100k
Gomes on £140k!

I thought Brands was meant to be bringing the wage bill down, they are crazy numbers when you look at them on paper for the return we have had so far.

There are like 5 different sources all with different wages published out there. Why do we really think these are correct?

There's no question, I can cover for Lossl. I'll quit my job for 35k and help save on the wage bill.

 

[chrismpw]

When I'm king - wage cap 2k per week.

Still generous for a hobby.

 

[Ivo]

Gomes surprises me!

 

[Joey66]

Staggering some of them - aside from the obvious “big” hitters and some of their wages, Matthew Pennington is being paid over £600k per annum !

Not even a Prima Donna imo he will never play in the first team .......

 

[orly]

Nearly £2m a year to Tom Davies in wages alone.

Unreal.

 

[Joey66]

Why have we put Pickford on 125k a week?

He drops it on his foot hence his hesitation to leave his line to catch a cross ......

 

[arbok]

Iwobi’s agent is incredible!

 

[sladen90]

I can't exactly say that anyone on 15k a week is underpaid, but Olsen needs to sack his agent.

He might be on more but we pay a certain % maybe? Or had it been declared that we are covering all his wages?

 

[Milk]

IF the table is correct, the board need to up DCLs wages pdq .

 

[ChesterBlue]

Some of that does not make for pleasant reading

Considering your average person will earn between £1m-£2m over their lifetime, any footballer earning more than that over a 5 year contract is doing pretty well for themselves. £2m over 5 years is just £7,700 a week so even the lowest paid Premier league players (usually just the teenagers) are getting a lifetime salary in one contract. So when you're looking at players on £50k+ per week it's just impossible to justify their salary.
The sooner the game brings in salary caps the better. Imagine how much money could be flowed down to the lower levels of football if salaries were capped at £100k a week. You could still have extremely well paid players at the top level and help grassroots teams at the same time.
Obviously it'll never happen.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Pickford
Iwobi
Bernard

335k a week. Christ.

There is no way we're paying Iwobi £100k and Gomes £140k.
