Most liked posts in thread: If you believe this - Jamie Walker £4100 per week

A far cry from the days of Charlie Rackstraw and John Hall who were on £16 a week. I asked him a while ago how did we cope with a squad of just 16 players and he replied that you just played with knocks or you missed out on your £2 appearance bonus.

 

"Our team trawls the internet for reliable sources on a daily basis to save you, our readers, the time! Spawned out of a University economics paper on the state of modern football wages, our founders were inspired to make the information they researched publically available and have maintained the database ever since. " To paraphrase 'Our team trawls the Internet for made up unsubstantiated sh*te, which is only of benefit to agents'.

 

That will be like your employer when you’re off work don’t think the lad wanted to be sat on the sidelines. Especially as his family is still in Scotland

 

The frustration for me is, the 2 players I was expecting the most from have both failed to deliver.
Walker due to injury and now suspension and then Smallwood just hasn’t lived up to expectations. Perhaps when Walker finally gets a run of games it will help Smallwoods performance, let’s hope so because our midfield just hasn’t performed so far this season

 

Are you suggesting our playing budget is £8,500,00 which is what £213,200 would be if it were 2.5%. I raised a whole army, marched them through The Wilderness, fed and watered them and licked Bobby Lee for less.

 

if true , what would his take home pay be ? about £2500 after tax and NI , good money compared to most, but hardly a kings ransom. Its just a shame he got injured first game. If he had played 20+ games and had 7 or 8 goals behind him, no one would bat an eyelid.
Its the greedy two hats in the premier league, who's salaries need regulating. How is the premier league wage bill double any other of the major european leagues.

 

I said good stratagist, I should have said brilliant.

 

I'll take any report like this with a massive pinch of salt. However, we're obviously not attracting a player of his age and pedigree and getting him to relocate from Edinburgh to Bradford to play in L2 by offering peanuts so I do expect that he is probably our highest earner.

 

Load of nonsense, the site they use just pulls random wages from Fifa and FM and puts them out at fact. Same site when we were in our first season in L2 thought James Vaughan was on 7K a week and Connor Wood, who hadn't played a professional game before signing for City was on 4K a week in L2. Utter nonsense.

Didn't Sparks say on that podcast he appears on from time to time this summer that we were working within a set pricing window for wages and no being held to demands anymore? Think he quoted £2K-£2.5K a week was our highest pay point?

 

One thing is certain, Walker isn't making a fortune on his win bonuses.

 

However much we are paying him, we’ve had nothing back on our investment

 

Yes and when struggling with a knock during training the boss would say how are you for Saturday lad, needless to say the answer was "I'll be fine boss".

 

I recall reading, several months ago, a separate source quoting circa £4K. Not surprised.

 

Fair play to the Lad - if he shows his worth in the second half of the season it’s good business

 

Half the season gone and he’s not managed 90 minutes yet
Great business

 

Absolutely on the money Bryan.

 

wouldn’t surprise me. He’s the most technically gifted player in the squad

its a shame that he was injured for the first half of the season, an that he had to be a pillock an get sent off against Wimbledon

 

Horrendous signing if true.

He's good, but not that good.

 

yeah because all concerned knew he was gonna be injured ffs

 

Well he didnt really show his worth in the second half at Wimbledon did he ?
