Blamed bad management,too many managers and lack of stability on our downfall.....nothing that we didn't all already know.

He also said that there were 2 or 3 serious contenders interested in buying the club but he is not involved with any of them.

 

Out of choice?

One positive from this season will be the end to paying £14k or £8k a week.

 

Truth is, I don't really care about players' wages. Market forces and all that...

 

But I do detest paying wages and not getting value in return.

 

To come straight back up, we will need to pay decent salaries to DECENT footballers, assuming we exist - which I personally think is still less than 50%...

But actually is any footballer worth £14k a week?

 

Would be interesting to know what wages are paid in L1

 

Good question - but overpaying is a great route to success (ask Chelsea)!!

 

I bet the top payers in the league this season are Leicester.

 

As for 'worth' - no, who is worth 14k a week? But if them's the circumstances, you have to accept it.

 

Put it this way, you could overpay on wages (like Mandaric) for one year and get back up in 12 months or play it safe and never come back...

It's called inflation

 

Inflation would account for a 3% rise year on year

 

2002- £4k + 3%

2003-£4.12k +3%

2004-£4.24k +3%

2005-£4.37k +3%

2006-£4.50k +3%

2007-£4.63k +3%

2008-£4.77k +3%

2009-£4.91k

 

So MLT is worth 65% of BWP- something is wrong with football wages. Too many average players push up wages by demanding the highest they think they can get. Then other clubs have to compete as to attract the big players. Examples such as 30 yr old Jimmy Bullard wanting 50k a week or wes brown wanting 60k. then all other players and agents jump on the bandwagon and take clubs for a ride seeing these players getting massive sums.

nonsense,MLT was on £16k when he retired.

 

Wrong....

 

Wages 4k.

 

The rest was made up with bonus and sponsorship!

 

I once got a copy of Scott Marshall contract and sent it to that Richard Chorley bloke who then gave it to meridian.

 

He was on 24k aweek which was a total joke.

I can't believe MLT was only on £4K pw.

 

But I don't begrudge football players being paid big bucks. If Robbie Williams sells out a stadium he gets a big pay day, if 22 players provide the same entertainment then they deserve the equivalent remuneration.

 

Clearly we're more Chaz and Dave at the moment, but give it time.
