[Amesbury Saint]

As we plan for L1 what sort of wages will we pay?

 

A liitle old - 2006

 

Championship players earn an average salary of £195,750, League One players £67,850 and League Two £49,600.

£195K/52=£3750 per week, virtually 25% of what we pay that waster Euell.

Allowing for say 10% increase since 2006 we still have a lot of players earning vastly over the odds who just don't earn their keep.

If we want the best players we will have to pay the best wages like Leicester

so will we be able to?

All depends on the buyers wealth/plans and of course if we actually get a buyer.

Peterborough are second in league 1, not far behind Leicester, how much do you think they pay?? It's not about what players earn, it's about what they bring to the game not take away from it. We pay some of the highest paid players in the CCC even now, yet we're 23rd and lost at home to the worst side last week, who are also no doubt paying top dollar..

It's why we need a proper buyer with real cash, sadly.

Hasn't football always been about:

 

1. The best manager.

2. The best players.

 

And the best sides having both??

 

You can have either and succeed.

We will get a buyer. We have to. The one thing we can't determine until we know who is how much there will be for the team after the purchase.

Funny how Lowe left it as late as he could to close up shop. Was he doing it to make it as awkward as he could for any possible purchasers? No games for income and months without a use for the stadium.

I know someone will say Barclays pulled the plug but it smells to much.

No idea how much Peterborough pay tbh.

 

Absolutley correct,it is about what the player brings to the team but also very much on how he is coached,how fit he is made to be and how much passion he has for the game,something both of the dutch clowns have failed to instill and enforce this season.

 

Paying a decent wage to a player who gives his all and has some talent

to boot, is a must if you want to keep them and show them your belief in them.

No football wasn't always like that, it used to be about cohesion and fight

and turning up trumps for your fans whether you got 20£ a week or 200£.

I'm old enough to remember when we were a top top top side, yet we had home grown players who were certainly on far far less than stars at Liverpool,Man U and Everton. It's only since Sky TV that that attitude crept in, big clubs buy all the best players and keep them in the reserves so that no-one else gets them. When a fading star comes on to the market lesser light fight over him and usually get shafted.

Looks at Wolves side yesterday, I would wager that their collective wage was less than ours,yet we were shafted right and proper from the 1st minute onwards. We have wasters in our side,they should be giving the example, they aren't.

Lowe was clinging to power for as long as he could.

 

He cares nothing for ths club or the fans despite him putting himself

about all over the media claiming he does...

[Saints foreva]

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't it state in all the players contract that they must take a wage cut if the club are relegated?

 

I remember that happened when we got relegated from the Premiership.

I think we had one of the best managers in the league and also four England captain's in our ranks. They wouldn't have been far off the salaries of bigger club players because there was no huge disparity. Heady days.

 

As regards Wolves, you're also looking at a top quality manager who has been promoted twice(?) from this league and didn't do a bad job in charge of Ireland, versus a pratt.

 

I'm loathe to condemn players. None of them chose their salary and none of them wants to be part of a losing side. They don't ask for humiliation every week by choice.

 

Look at the difference between Spurs under Ramos and Redknapp - same players. Yet Ramos can manage Real Madrid???

 

It's a complex game but we've had two clowns in charge this year and our players know they have precious little time left with us...

 

It's a car wreck and while I rail and wail about the players, in my heart I know where the fault lies - organisation, management, fitness, belief, motivation - those are just a few of the things our team lacks...

League One wages are about one third of Championship wages, on average, but Mandaric said he would keep a Championship wage structure to make sure they came straight up. Peterborough have a benefactor who says he's put £8m into the club so far - a huge amount at this level.

However, wages aren't everything. I'm sure Donny, Blackpool and Barnsley's wages are much lower than any of the 3 clubs most likely to get relegated this season. Might have something to do with picking a good manager, let HIM choose the players, and letting him get on with the job!

QPR have stacks of money but also seem to be making a right lash up of it - obviously, brains and money is the correct combo.

Thats because no actual money was spent, we made a transfer profit in the summer.

[Jackie@home]

I think we've all managed to work out that changing your manager every few months is not a recipe for success, though.

Its thought FC Utd have the smallest wage budget in the leage yet are fighting for a play off space.

 

Its not all abot how mauch you pay in wages.
