Assuming the likes of Mildenhall, McChrystal, Parkes & Brown must have been on £50k/£75k p.a. then £750K as an overall budget seems very low as those 4 must be on £200k/£300K alone. I doubt Mansell & Monkhouse were poorly paid either? The thing that people forget is that at the start of the season Rovers made it very clear that the contracts would reward success - DC kept stating this. In the past I know that Rovers paid bonuses on league position, attendances, goals scored , appearances , promotion and signing on fees were paid. It is probably true that the inital basic wage would be much lower than the previous year but i suspect that the final accounts will tell a different story by the time that add ons have been included. When we were trying to hold on Smithy I was told that if Rovers were successful - Smithy would have been better off financially staying at Rovers .

That's what I thought too. I read or saw somewhere it was around the £1M area. I refer you to my learned friend Gasincider I didn't realise it was as low as that!

Gossip between clubs regularly goes on particularly when you get personnel regularly moving around in the way that footballers do. The players talk to their mates and the executives / finance directors meet and swap stories at their meetings. The League managers meet - nothing remains very private.

If true wouldn't that be financial madness to pay more than a Div 1 side who have a decent wage budget themselves? That would surely put Smudger on a potential £150k+ wage, or 20% of our supposed £750k budget this season?

What utter BS, that would imply that our budget went UP since 2013-14 despite the budget being cut in half! Maybe the Torquay chairman should point out Macclesfield's budget for last season, as they did a hell of a lot better than Torquay did on a similar, if not lower budget. move your words around a bit and you've hit the nail on the head. They are at an AGM and getting their excuses for failure in early. Gulls had a terrible season, especially after being consistently in top 1O until Mid january, and if it wasn't for 1O points in final 4 games [when part-time teams were struggling] they would have been even lower. They had one of the best records in the league against top half teams, which suggests a poor mental attitude, not helped by a shocking discipline problem, which the manager seems to brush under the carpet. I could imagine him in a Balotelli 'Why always me?' T-shirt. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the first managers sacked next season. If they can afford it.

I repeat, PRIOR to the season the budget was reduced to £750,000.
Lines etc weren't here then. Remember we also bought Blisset. But all that took place later.

If they were successful he would earn that money- which led me to believe that the bonuses for getting promotion were significant. The basic may have fitted very well inside the £750k stated

The basic may have fitted very well inside the £750k stated about 15 years ago a Rovers " legend" who I knew admitted that his basic salary was about 40% of what he earned . That will have changed no doubt but I suspect the final wages figures in the end of year accounts wont be anywhere near £700k

But all that took place later. yes, but budget does not necessarily equal spend. does anyone really know if the budget was under-spent or the additions were paid for with an injection. I certainly remember DC & NH suggesting that the mgr had kept some money back to strengthen later in the season. I used to work for a London Council and March was always a busy time trying to 'get rid' of money!

I thought we were still getting parachute payments from our last stint in the Premier League

Sinclair £650 a week so sub £35k a year, £2,000 a week for some at the higher end so £104K a year for them, depends how many in each category I suppose!
