Gemmel Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 That Twitter is absolute cobblers regarding salaries etc.... unless cortese is lying I listened to an interview with Eddie Howe saying Cork left because there was no way they could match our personal terms which were way above burnleys ceiling cap.

pangy Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I am not saying they are but Lambert/Lallana would more than likely have a clause in their contracts giving them automatic wage rises due to promotion,also a wage reduction if relegated,and as they have both recently signed new contracts I would imagine that they have stipulations that they are the always the highest paid players at the club,so ifwe sign someone and pay them 30k a week they also rise to that,so for them to be on £25k a week is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I have a source that believes Fox is on around £20k p/w If that is true, £25k p/w for Lallana may well be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackanorySFC Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Lambert signed on £10k per week when he joined from Bristol Rovers. Source is another player wanted by Saints and offered parity with top earner at SFC (RL). £25k is bulls*** and there's no way NC would allude to that anyway.

Matthew Le God Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Lambert signed on £10k per week when he joined from Bristol Rovers. That was as a League One player, Saints have since been promoted and Lambert signed a new 3 year deal this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Didn't someone once say Fonte was on 19k a week? 25k isn't out of the question IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 It shouldn't surprise anyone that Lambert and AL are on £25,000 a week. But there is no way that NC would give out this information at a Q&A session,IMO............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no way that NC would give out this information at a Q&A session,IMO............. I was going to type the exact same thing. Lallana wouldn't have signed a 5 year deal unless we offered him a lowish Premiership size wage. The fact the first year's accounts showed a £7m loss just shows how much wages we are spending - lots. Players may like the stadium, but the likes of Cork came here simply because we could afford the transfer fee and because we offer big wages. Can someone remind me what Warnock got fined for regarding the Cork comment or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I said Lallana would be on about 25k /week on another thread which was discussing wages. Wouldn't be surprised at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Top wages as mentioned wouldn't shock me but there is no way that Don Nic' would tell people. I read the twitters and they struck me as, in the main, bol loxs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I'm his bum chum ha, vindication! Thanks actual chum So no one actually knows anyway whether this is true or not until we get confirmation from man-who-was-there (sorry, forgot the name and can't go back a page now typing! or can I?) I don't believe it is all true, but there is obviously a lot of stuff in there that is correct and its not all made up! £25k wages sound about right to me for top earners at our club, as we would have wanted to keep Lallana happy for example. I am less inclined to believe Kelly Smunt (from above) who was invited but forgot to go than the stuff from random person on twitter!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Charging up payment cards which you can't use elsewhere, can't check the balance of, and can't get any credit back from, is just another way to get hugely ripped off by the club without knowing. Quite a few German clubs have tried it to various complaints. To be honest I wouldn't want to present such an easy opportunity for our non-fan focused money-making machine to exploit me further, so that would probably just lead to me stopping buying stuff at matches altogether, just like the car park charge has stopped me popping into the club shop to see if there's anything decent in.

Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense! You could easily check the balance in the same machine you put credit on, or online. Anyway, do you use a debit card linked to your bank account? How do you check that balance? And it is very possible to get money back off them, so long as you paid money in on a credit card it just gets reversed back. The tech is all proven. It could be used at the ticket office and megastore as well. Really can't see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had experience of this at St Gallen at the preseason game. Works OK for regular home supporters, can be used next game, but as an away supporter NO. Minimum topup 10 franks and a huge palava to get any unspent funds back. Ended up buying stuff I didn't want. Would like to see this sort of card replace STs, installment plan would work like it used to as card can be banned at the electronic turnstile if payment in arrears.

Macey_J2 Posted 3 September, 2011 Share Posted 3 September, 2011 Probably sat at home trying to to recall all the details! When we went, Cortese said players were on contracts that changed to pre-determined wages depending on what league they were playing in. E.G some players were willing to sign their contract which stated if the team dropped into league two, their salaries would decrease CONSIDERABLY. I'm not going to say how much he mentioned because this forum has alot of old farts and sceptics who wouldn't believe it anyway. Therefore, as we have just been promoted, i'm sure many of the players will be on more than they were last year. P.S 'urry up facup76!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
