Guest Invicta_Toon Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It's the Souness era "big name" signings coupled with the other over priced midfield we have will hold us back Parker,Dyer,Emre,Duff,Owen,Luque and Butt are all probably earning in excess of 40k. I feel we'll need to go back to the SBR policy of paying fairly high transfer fees and low wages for young talent. Jermaine Jenas and Scott Parker are players of similar quality but I suspect that Parker could be on twice the wages as Jenas. For sure, Spurs wouldn't put up with any crazy wages nonsense. You think Jenas took a pay cut then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Jenas took a pay cut then? Spurs have a very strict wage structure and I believe King is the only player earning over £35k a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken Spurs got a bonus system, so Berbatov could have a basic wage of 35k, but then he'll receive shit loads of money in different bonuses which makes his actual wage a lot higher.

koven Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If you divide are entire wage bill by the 28 or so full time squad players it comes out at about £35k each a week. That's excluding wages to the board, management, coaches, stewards, shop workers, cleaners and everyone else employed by the club. Changes things when you look at the facts doesn't it? Instead of guessing how much players earn. Mountain out of a mole hill springs to mind. No-one in this thread has a clue how to run a multi-million pound business so I don't know why we're trying to pass judgement on it. Do people think Freddy runs the club from his garage or something? He has teams of financial advisors and lawyers, yet we seem to know better? LOL Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 As far as I'm aware, Ledders is top earner (£45k) followed by Robbie Keane. Keane's figure was artificially inflated at the outset as Leeds were still paying a significant chunk of his wages until last summer when the basic deal ran out. Spurs then exercised their option of another 2 years and now pay all the wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you compare Huddlestone's wages to say Taylor....YOu can see why our wages are seen as a bit out of control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think it's pretty easy, though I should have used the manager as the example instead of a player. In any case, my point was that quite clearly everyone in this thread is speculating. We have no knowledge of what's really going on. Just the same way we don't really know what system Roeder tries to play. You seem to dismiss all conversation on that basis. The forum would be rather boring without speculation, don't you think?
