56k as a kitman isn't bad is it? I'm pretty handy with the washing machine if anyone from the club is reading this...

I can't quite believe that our players would be on a quarter of a million a year!

I can't quite believe that our players would be on a quarter of a million a year! There were certain players rumoured to be on that sort of money around the Trollope era and that was getting on 15 years ago.

Clubs will burst, there’s no 2 ways about it.
Yes professional football is a very niche profession and players need to be paid accordingly, but are we really saying that this has to be at the cost of clubs existing all together?
Salary cap needed and a decrease in ticket prices. Time to do this German style.

As long as people worship at the feet of S£y TV and PL, the game will be hurtling towards the US franchise model. I wonder how many gasheads who moan about the inequality in football subscribe to S£Y Sports. Before anyone says it, I know you’ve just it for the Cricket, bit like buying Playboy for the articles

I know Billy Ocean (all those years ago ) was on £50k a year. I was on £16k at the time

What a huge difference between League One and the Championship. Think some Championship clubs could be in a lot of trouble

Never begrudge an employer that pays their employees well. So what if a kit man gets paid £56k? There’s more to it than meets the eye and besides I think it’s better that Championship clubs pay their staff well rather than paying them poorly, there’s plenty other wealthy businesses out there that don’t extend the same courtesy.

Isn't the issue they simply can't afford to pay these wages hence why they were already making huge losses? Tesco etc could pay all their shop assistants £56K a year but I doubt they'd be thanking them when the business eventually went bust.

It's up to the clubs to set the wages ultimately, if they didn't think they couldn't afford the wages they pay their staff, they wouldn't hand the contracts out in the first place.

Clearly the likes of Bolton, Bury & Southend suggest they will hand out contracts they can't afford, I doubt we could ever have afforded Bennett's £4.5K a week but somebody convinced the owners to agree to the deal.

Well, I think we can afford Bennett’s wages, it’s just not the best use of the limited resources we have.

Who would be the league one player on 800k pa ? That is complete madness.
