It's okay paying them big money if the money is there, but for many clubs it isn't.
Over 22 years ago when I was starting my own business one of my customers asked me what my ambition was and I said it was to make a million £ and retire by the time I was 40 as I was about 36 at the time.

The guy was Phil Siviter who some of our locals like Minn will remember as he owned spirts shops in Brierley Hill and other Midlands towns and he was a wealthy chap.

He looked at me in an astonished fashion.

“ Not nearly enough Mick” he advised me.......” you need £5m in the bank these days to keep you in the manner to which you’ll have become accustomed “ ........I wasn’t so sure.

All these years on I agree with him but the figure would be double that now to live a high value life.

£2.5m earned over 10 years would be lucky to be making you £25k a year in interest now.
