aaronoafc Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Didn't they spend a decent amount of money on him not so long ago? Who owns Scunthorpe and since when did they have money to throw around? They have spent quite a bit in the last 3/4 years, they spent loads in League 2 to get promotion and seem to be going for it again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Surely some of our players earn more than 2k? I read somewhere that our average wage is 1500-2500 But I would have thought Elekobi would be earning 2-3k? Forte too? This isn't based on any "inside knowledge" at all by the way just generally asking the question. Does anyone Actually know as in know a player or something. I spoke with Dickov when he was manager and he told me - and I have no reason to disbelieve him - that our top paid player [at the time] was Shefki Kuqi who was on £2k per week......

leeslover Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 "Departing Port Vale striker Tom Pope says that the offer made to him by League One new boys Bury was simply too much money to turn down." Doesn't give a figure but it suggests Bury really are chucking a fair bit of money about... " I'm taking it that it's a lot of money over 3 years. An iffy season with injuries and 7 goals and he's struggling for a decent deal the season after. A 3 year contract sees him about through to retiring.

NewBlue Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 On what do we base this £5K per week? Is it supposition? If not, you forgot the magic word. FACT. Not sure why you're getting arsey but from a variety of different things you can estimate a player's wage. I've never had, or claimed to have, some inside track on player wages - it's not difficult to gage based on figures that are more concrete from elsewhere.

oafc1955 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 It's all relative...... 4 times our home crowd = 4 times our wage bill....bugger all we can do about that apart from a little success on the field which would narrow the gap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoncorneyisgod Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 They've got minted owners? So it's not all relative then is it? So we are probably in the bottom 6 attendance wise in the league and at least a couple of teams below that have got minted owners shows what we are competing against.

b0ndl1ne Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've said this before on here but we were paying 3k a week towards Derbyshires wages when he was on loan with us. It's not inconceivable other players earn the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Wigan apparently bid 800k for Sam Clucas. This is the type of deal that annoys me, when you look at the fees we sometimes receive - 300k... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 And your argument is re; Bury & Scunthorpe???? The owners/directors have put in their own cash. If they don't get success, and realise hat the crowds still won't turn up like ours, they could walk away leaving a huge wage bill tat can't possibly be paid.

We typically sign players on free transfers after they've been released from other clubs, not up and coming stars from the league below for 6 figure sums.

Gaz_Oafc Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Peterborough set to sign Joe Gormley who scored 40 goals last season for Cliftonville, including 5 hat-tricks (85 in 133 in total). He's from Northern Ireland, so that means we were interested in him by default doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
