No way is Bennett on 4K. It’s a classic case of a made up figure being quoted once on here and then repeated as gospel. We don’t know the players wages and neither should we. Of course none of us know his exact wages. I can't imagine the figure referenced would be too far from the truth though. Why do some think that sort of wage to be so unbelievable? If the league average is around £2k per week which includes those at lower paying northern clubs and youngsters on their first professional contracts then surely it's fairly obvious a club like us will have a few well above the average, offset by the likes of Kilgour, Kelly, Mayonnaise who will on a fraction of the league average

Bit of manoeuvring going on: www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/17665822.richie-wellens-admits-kyle-bennett-will-have-to-take-a-pay-cut-if-he-is-to-join-swindon-town-this-summer/Richie Wellens has accepted he cannot compete with Kyle Bennett’s current wage packet at Bristol Rovers, but has expressed his interest in re-visiting the midfielder towards the end of the summer transfer window. Bennett, 28, joined Town from Rovers on a loan deal lasting until the end of the season on deadline day in January. Four goals in his 15 appearances in red were complemented by his ability to break up play in midfield and spark attacking phases of play. Bennett himself admitted after Town’s 2-1 defeat against Crewe in April that a long-term stay at SN1 would be of interest to him. But Wellens admits successfully negotiating a permanent deal with Bristol Rovers won’t be easy. “Kyle (Bennett) is a difficult one,” admitted Wellens. “His contract at Bristol Rovers is very good, it’s something that we can’t compete with. “One thing we don’t want to do is sign Kyle as soon as possible, because then we would have to be paying him through the summer – that’s not a position we can afford to be in. “Kyle will be a player we will target towards the back end of the window. I’m totally comfortable waiting for him. “He knows the group and he wouldn’t have to settle in.

The 39-year-old has already stated that he has no plans to include Jermaine McGlashan in Town’s squad next season, while regular first-team absentees since Wellens took charge that remain in contract include Ellis Iandolo. Wellens added: “When I joined, 50 per cent of the squad were David Flitcroft’s players and the other 50 per cent were Phil Brown’s. “Players were still under contract from former managers – that isn’t their (former managers) fault. They obviously wanted to stamp their footprint on the team. “But, for me, Flitcroft and Brown are two different styles of managers. I felt it was a good opportunity to have a clear-out and maybe do two transfer windows in one.”

The manager with no budget again but Swindon can’t afford his wages. Add Payne and Mensah to the wages left by the manager with no budget.

I would rather have Bennett back than Payne or Mensah seen Mensah in pre-season friendly last season he looked awful don't think he will ever make a league player.

Swindon have had on & off money issues for years, they're in L2 & have crowds about 25% below ours. It's actually logical to assume they have less than us in terms of budget. But don't let that get in the way of yet another anti-DC post. You tell people to move on in another thread yet you're the one slating him at the earliest opportunity. I'm sure it's easy to sit and moan about 3 players that DC got wrong, considering he created a squad from the 5th division to the 3rd with Sinclair, Leadbitter, Craig, Lockyer, Harrison, Bodin, THD, Easter, Taylor, Brown, Mildenhall, Sercombe, Clarke, Clarke, Gaffney, Lines, Monkhouse - just off the top of my head. But please, do carry on moaning how he got Mensah wrong and we should judge him on that

I'd be a bit worried if Swindon could afford a Div 1 players wages w/o any problems, although not sure why Wellens as to play this out via the press, just tell Rovers what you'll pay and let us decide if we want to do a deal or not.

That's why I said the squad he created. He took relegation L2 players and turned them into L1/Championship players in Harrison, Bodin, Lockyer, Clarke & Brown. The signings he made were clearly good because look where we were to where we are now. It's why I laugh when people say DC's signings were poor, he pretty much signed the entire squad ffs and took us up 2 divisions. How can that be poor? If, however, you people say his signings at L1 level weren't very good, then I'd be more inclined to agree.

I expect we will meet in the middle somewhere and ending up paying a lot of his contract up.

Misread what I said, signing of strikers was poor But he made some good signings especially in the midfield, Sinclair was one of the best but Bodin was also a superb signing, of course DC played as an attacking midfielder which is where he made some of his best recruitment.

Taylor played wide sometimes for forest green but also as a striker for them and during a loan at chester. Are you saying that because he sometimes played wide before we signed him that he does not count as a striker signing? Dc always intended and as far as i remember always did play him a striker. Taylor,easter,gaffney and cunnington were all signed by dc and to varying degrees all played a part in our rise to league one.

If he was on the rumoured £4k p.w. we'll probably end up meeting 50% of that. Someone lost the plot with his contract offer!
