that must be Kitson surely.
The thing is no matter how much a player is on, a fair whack of it is witheld as PAYE income tax,for a player on 30K a week the PAYE would be about what 12K a week, so Pompey pay the player his 120 K a month less the HMRC cut which would be about 50K a month I guess.As they don't actually seem to pay the taxman very often then 30K a week is a nonsensical figure because it only actually costs them about 17K a week.
