Stockport post match reflections

[Yak]

Does anyone really know how much they are earning?
This just seems to cause more resentment towards the player/players imo.
He?s either good enough or not irrespective of how much he?s earning.

It's to be hoped that the Executives and Management know how much Yak!

Otherwise we all go off hearsay, rumour and those websites that proclaim to be in the know about who gets paid what. I think the last one I saw had Dawson 'earning' over 10x what Powell gets paid. If that's true it is easy to see why wages are such a devisive element in the game.

The advertiser did an article a couple of weeks ago saying our highest paid player is thought to be on 8k and the rest earn around 4k at most.
The wording suggests even that appears to be an educated guess but the figures aren?t as outrageous as many on here have often claimed.

Why start Raggett before Jules? who's surely the lesser of two evils.

Goalkeeper Josh Vickers 30 year old still at Derby County.
End of his contract 30th June 2026
I thought he did well for the Millers, then he got the finger's Injury,
Then Victor Johansson stepped in.
Vickers number 2 at Derby County,
Said before start of season, some on MM liked him some did not.
He did well for the Millers,
Maybe a end of season chance of signing.

To a centre forward, ideal player to me would be Michael Smith, but under contract at P.N.E. until June 2027.
We need a centre forward who can hold up play, & lay a ball off.
Which Hugill has not done.

Not fair ELK. Hugill is always holding up play with his fouling

Johannson and Vickers both came to Rotherham at the suggestion of Andy Warrington. Not bad for a "cheap option" coach as one on here describes him.
If he's still with the club at the end of the season I would certainly trust him to find our next goalkeeper.

Reading about Josh Vickers, if true it said 4,000 pounds a week wage, with a 1,000 pounds
a week bonus.
So 208,000 pounds a year wages
So 52,000 pounds a year bonus

Total 260,000 pounds a year.

Also the wealth of the family with the majority stake in York City makes TS look like a pauper 🙂
