With all the talk of Ronaldo's possilbe 200k a week pay - made me wonder what an average or even best player in a team like Huddersfield gets paid weekly?
What's your best guess?
My stab in the dark for an average player would be 3-4k a week?
p.s. you would hope it's performance related so they're getting squat at the moment!!!!!!

That puts him on... around... £5,800 a week! Unless you count only the football season which would see him on more like £8,000!

What a great idea......
why dont we all post up our salaries and then we can all start to deride and insult each other with names like sonofabitch as to whether we are worth our salaries.
Who wants to start??

But in all honesty WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF OURS? A contract was negotiated. That contract is between club and individual. The details of that contract are none of our business and it should remain that way. They committed no crime to obtain that money and therefore are entitled to whatever money they negotiated. Is anyone here prepared to post up the details of thier personal finances?? Lets stick to offering opinions on how we felt they performed or not as the case may be. I cant help thinking most of those berating the players salaries are just plain old JEALOUS.

None of our business!!! Your having a laugh!!
YOU PAY THOSE WAGES BY GOING IN THE TURNSTILES AND BUYING GOODS FROM THE SHOP!
You know how much a policeman gets paid, or a teacher or a soldier - and you pay their wages too right?
It is completely reasonable to ask and find out how much a pro footballer gets paid - I see no reason why it is kept secret.
They should be accountable as everyone else - just my opinion. If you know how much they get paid it might just make them perform that little bit better no?

The big difference between those professions you mentioned and footballers is that they all work for the public sector which is paid for by our tax money, footballers work for private 'companies'. Do you know of any other private companies employees wages?

Do you know of any other private companies employees wages? Sorry - no offence - but that is a fairly ridiculous comment given that every footballers contract is public in the newspapers. And although it is a 'private' company it is fairly different to a bank or a engineering firm - given you pay admission every week to watch. Cant remember the last time I paid to go in to watch a plumber drain a sink! Anyway - different opinions are what makes it more interesting. I just think those that are getting paid to perform on a sports field should be held accountable to those going in the turnstiles. Ask a Leeds fan - I'm sure if they had known what their superstars were on more questions may have been asked and they may have even avoided their problems - another viewpoint.

If you know how much they get paid it might just make them perform that little bit better no? Yes i do CONTRIBUTE.....And thats a conscious choice i make. No-one forces me to do it. If the performances or the lack of pissed me off that much id damn well do something about it. Does that therefore give me the right to know the individuals pay and be able to disect it?? NO....but does it give me a right to sit on the terraces and offer an opinion on thier display. YES. As for police, teachers etc etc......I know the salary brackets but i dont know exactly what they are paid and of course there will be a whole raft of other things to take into account. Length of service etc etc. And as has been correctly pointed out there is a vast difference between the public purse and private business. My mates a policeman and i can certainly hazard a guess at his salary, but would i ask him?? Would i hell. "that is a fairly ridiculous comment given that every footballers contract is public in the newspapers."Premiership maybe.....but certainly not at this level. If that really was the case we wouldnt be having this debate. As far as im concerned they are paid the negotiated rate. I will pass comment on the standard of thier workmanship, i have no right to know how much they are being paid to do that work.

Id guess that our wage bill is about 4 times the amount of Cheltenham's. Lets see how it shows on Saturday.

The PFA did a pay survey a couple of seasons back and the average League One footballer gets about £70k per year Given we have one of the bigger wage budgets I would expect many of the new lads are drawing six figure annual salaries, e.g take Butler, as I remember Scunny publically said they'd pushed the boat out to retain him but couldn't match our terms, I think Butler also made a comment at the time that the move was part influenced by a desire to look after his young family finacially. Scunny then paid £200k for Mirfin and agreed suitable terms with him. Makes you wonder what our offer was if Scunny couldn't compete Off the top of my head from the same survey I think League Two players average about £50k p.a. and I know for certain of a Conference player who earns just over £30k p.a. after app fees, bonuses etc Nice work if you can get it!

This thread is about what they earn - not the wrong and rights of talking about it!!

I can't understand Waterloos viewpoint, it is immoral the amount players are receiving never mind the principles, and Town can not afford these salaries, so this will lead to our eventual collapse which I'm sure everyone cares about.Having watched even West Ham and West Brom. barely able to pass a ball, the state of football and the wages paid are ruining our game, in fact it is ruined.

Waterloo 1815
I don't have enough time to put forward all the reasons I think your attitude is high handed and simplistic.
However I think you ignore the point that a football club is treated by it's customers in an entirely different way to almost any other business you could name.
The club want to regard themselves in a schizophrenic manner (as a company when it suits them or a club when they want a little bit more from us).
It is not long ago there were people with begging buckets at the Mcalpine trying to ensure the long term security of their club and the majority of people (including myself) chucking money into those buckets.
I don't think people would do that for Tescos do you?
Do you really think it is appropriate under these circumstances for the club sorry company to be giving £4k a week (it appears it can't afford) to Malvin Kamara?
and again (given the relationship between a club and it's supporters (in many meanings of the word) is it really so baffling that the supporters of the club would have an interest in how much their players are being paid?

Some of the figures on here surprise me. Yes, Huddersfield get bigger gates, probably have wealthier directors but the biggest player's wage at Oldham is £3000 per week. And only a couple on that. Hughes on £1800 per week (although a new offer was made to him in Jan). I think the worry for any club at this level is paying daft wages over a long period of time. If promotion arrives then maybe it's justifiable but if not the whole pack of cards collapses.

I can't believe Waterloo's comments, fair enough posting once saying (in a roundabout way) mind your own business, but to keep taking the bait.....well.....you make me laugh.
Jesus, if we're not complaining about moaning, we're having a go at people for daring to question salaries!
FWIW I believe Jevons is on just shy of £4k and Malvin about £3k weekly.
