Not convinced we were paying 11k for Menig directly, twas a very strange move for sure but can't say I lie awake at night worrying about it. The average wage is £3k a week in L1. £1.5k in L2. Bearing in mind it included Portsmouth and especially Sunderland. And the top spending clubs tended to publish but not smaller ones like us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Dickov was manager - for the purpose of sharing this story, the circumstances of which are irrelevant - he invited me into the manager’s office and we shared a beer. We were there about 20 mins. In the course of the conversation, it wasn’t done indiscreetly, he told who our top paid player was and how much he was earning, it was £2,200pw. £4K for Mohamed Maouche is way, way too much and it makes me suspicious. As an aside. A lovely bloke and real gent was Dickov. Edited July 5, 2019 by lookersstandandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 It is still staggering to think that the shit that most L2 players from all teams offer up week in week out warrants an average weekly wage of £1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the question wasn't directed at me but felt compelled to give my opinion. Presuming you were meaning Peter Clarke. Captain or not, playing or not, fit or not, Peter Clarke would have done and still will do (wherever he rocks up) lead by example and be a leader. He was a natural leader of men and we will miss him massively, I'm sure you will agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every cloud and that. Anyone spot Chris Eagles? There's some story floating around that he's training with us. And it looks like about 15 players there. Some squad that is.
