Vernam (Ramblings about the future)

Again agree with your point. We always enter a new season with a sense of anticipation and hope.

As the team will include a number of new signings and others who need to regularly ‘up’ their game, there is no guarantee for City or indeed Lincoln.

However, even if Lincoln do well (and I have nothing against them), City will remain the larger club.

Clearly we are underachieving, until we are pressing for promotion in League One, or are promoted to the Championship.

 

Here you go (l always like to do a little research).

 

Compare with the Lincoln City figures.

 

In short according to those figures, Vernam is our sixth highest paid player on £124,800 per annum. If you directly compare with the salary of the sixth highest player in the Lincoln team, Adam Jackson who is on £182,000 per annum then simple arithmetic suggests a difference of £57,200. Double that if he gets a two year contract.

 

In the absence of any other figures, then they are a guide and they highlight the difference in the two budgets. If you can get other sums, then I would be open to considering them.

 

If you exclude them and drop down the Lincoln Wage structure two places, then Chris Maguire was on £100 a week less. So £176,800 per season compared to Vernam’s current £124,800. Still a difference of £54,000.

 

I accept that the figures may not be absolutely accurate. However over the whole team if we say a 5/10% margin of variance, then it is still a reasonable indicator.
As I said if anyone can come up with an alternative set of figures, then more than happy to compare and contrast.
On the balance, then I would think Vernam could earn around 50% more with a League 1 outfit.
Just as a matter of interest, which player's wage is incorrect, is it too high or too low? What sort of difference are you suggesting?

 

So are they on £5,000 a week or £500? Are the figures an under or overestimate?
