Other stand outs in L1:
A manager on £550k per year in the south. Kenny Jackett?
A CEO on £140k at a northern club.
If you pick out the employees we have off the list with the suggested salaries that are there our wage bill for footballing club management is £689k per year.

suspect that a kit mans duties varies from club to club and in some cases they prob have a lot more logistical responsibilities ,where as at some clubs the position is filled by some one so dedicated to the club they would do the job for nowt!, thinking back to dear old Ray as told in 'an away game every weak' imagine he would be gobsmacked at the figures being banded about! any way its a good company who pay there staff well, the crux being if they can afford it, but the figures being talked about ,especially in the championship for all staff are crazy and unsustainable, the sooner a lot of those clubs stop try to chase the holy grail and cut there cloth accordingly the better the game will be. As for the players on all these crazy wages, well they aint that good are they? is there any player in the championship who you would go out of your way to watch, i may be out of touch but i cant think of one, what other industry do you get paid so much for regardless of your performance? in most fields if you do not perform to the criteria set out in your job description you get fired! does not seem to be so in football, prime example Pogba at Man utd, hardly ever plays for one reason or another yet draws millions and the club don't or cant do nothing about it! As for us well it may frustrate many but its also reassuring to know that we just muddle on ,go up a bit ,down a bit, but in the end we are where we always have been in the pecking order, always had stadium issues, always sold best players, always been fall outs twixt supporters club and club, always been skint !never been seen to be chasing the end of the rainbow, but always survived and long may it continue, wouldn't have it any other way would we?

Who would be the league one player on 800k pa ? That is complete madness. I would guess Will Grigg, Sunderland were desperate to land him at the time and thought he was going to fire them to the Championship so wouldn't surprise me if that's what they offered him. There’s quite a lot of detail on that transfer in the Sunderland documentary on Netflix. The manager told the board that he wasn’t worth more than £1.25m, but the board were so desperate to get him that they ended up paying £3m. I found that incredible. I always thought it would be the other way around, the manager trying to convince the board to get their hands in their pockets and get them a new star player, no matter what it cost.

Didn't mention anything about the wage that was offered then? Saying that I don't expect they would want to actually release the exact figures for the world to see anyway.

No it didn’t from what I can remember. But I’d be surprised if it isn’t similar to the highest figure mentioned in the article, as others have said. Just a guess though.
