I believe he is between 6k and 7k a week
I find it hard to believe that any of our players were on anywhere near £6k-£7k a week. I reckon some Hearts players would be on that kind of dough and Hibs and Sheepies would be paying out slightly less than that to some of their players but no way we could afford to be paying an already ageing passed his best Mulgrew that kind of money. That would be financial suicide. Its also been said on here in the past that Levitt, Fletcher, Behich,Watt and Harkes(FFS) were also on that kind of a wage. I honestly just can't see it but I also remember the Sheepies chairman saying that they were also in for McGrath on loan last summer but couldn't compete with what we were paying Wigan for him......so.....there's a half a dozen players rumoured to be on mega money and even if you average that out at say £5k a week each then that's around £1.5m in wages for just over half a team. Sorry not having that.
I think with Mulgrews, he will have had it topped up for being a "coach"... a ridiculous amount of money if true! I was told this by an agent that has several clients in the SPL...but I wouldn't put it past CM to have inflated his value and just said what he thinks he is worth! Either way....the club really needs to be getting a wage cap on these players pronto or we are gonna have to borrow the funs buckets!
Capuano in the press saying we're going to lose around £4M in revenue due to relegation and that players like Levitt & Fletcher leaving creates a bit of breathing space financially. These boys would have to be on a healthy wedge for their wages to make any kind of dent in that kind of figure, so the rumoured £6-£7K a week may well be true. Ludicrous if it is. We shouldn't be paying anything like that kind of money.
He's also hoping fans forego the 10% from season ticket refunds.
