Football league wages

Wow classic example Jordan Rhodes 35 grand a week never plays shows you what we’re up against

Agreed

Plus it shows that many of the players touted on here as "we should sign him" are out of our pay structure by a country mile

If these figures are correct then our illustrious neighbours in S6 are forking out more than £350k per week, £18m+ per year in wages

Scary and shows that football is a basket case

Looks like we’re massive compared with Wycombe and pay more than Coventry apart from one player on 10K ! It’s a bit strange with some Salaries eg our third choice gk is on nearly twice what our second team goalies on !!

I think goalkeepers are paid on height

I think we are paying a few of our a bit too much

Just looked at Man Citys wages

De Bruyne earns more the Kyle Walker, enough to buy 200 houses in Eastwood every year!

How is Tilt the 2nd best paid defender?
He must have a good agent.

Semi is on £19K at WBA, with fellow defender Ivanovic on £66K

If this is accurate its really interesting. For the oh we can't compete against Championship teams, compare ours to Luton and others.

But for all the we'd be further up the table if we could afford bigger wages or transfer fees, then just have a look at Derby and Forest wages. And we paid big transfer fees in L1 in the past for JCH, Bowrey, Taylor etc and it doesn't guarantee they are a class above either.

I do think there is something in there being a better dressing room and team togetherness if players are paid within a small range, and what really stands out here is the wages budget policy. Taking out the 1st year kids, many clubs do have small ranges, and not all big money Luton, Preston etc. Some have big wages but still within a small range - Norwich seem to have a £25k salary cap with most of their big name player on 20-25k. Whilst others seem to have a large range of both lower and high earners - surely that can't produce a good team atmosphere, whilst others have a reasonably small range but with a handful of big time charlies on significantly more wages.

I wonder which policy will prove a winner when it comes to the final league table.

This might be why there's been a bit of sulking of late....
