hogesar 9,615 Posted January 22, 2020 Webbers pretty good at his job but no way are those players on those salaries. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,155 Posted January 22, 2020 Bulls**t and clickbait. How are these no-hopers going to know how much all of our players earn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonyc 5,489 Posted January 22, 2020 I don't believe these figures. Even star performers in League 2 are on more than it states Todd is paid. This is an article I suspect to create uncertainty amongst players in the transfer window. It is cynical for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,632 Posted January 22, 2020 Not sure where those figures would come from, it does just look like clickbait. They said, I wouldn’t necessarily disbelieve some of the proportions - ie Byram being higher than we might think, he was at West Ham and we paid bog-all for him so taking on his salary might have been part of it; Teemu was a ‘free’ so may have had a large signing in fee.

Flying Dutchman 744 Posted January 22, 2020 Haha, not a chance this is even close to being right - Clickbait or not, you'd think they may have put some effort in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted January 22, 2020 Hilarious. The good thing is no Norwich fan is going to believe those figures.....except those that like to talk the club down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted January 22, 2020 That is clearly ****- half those players signed new deals this season in the Premier League and would have seen significant wage wises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally the Football Manager database is a solid starting point but not going to be spot on. I'd expect our top earners are maybe on £30-40k p/w with a significant drop based on relegation. I think in the Championship it was more like £15-20k for the top earners (excluding Naismith) and an average of around £10k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard the Cantwell fee before. This would explain why his agent was stalling on the new contract. He is just out of the academy, would we have given him a massive rise when we are short of money? If we were relegated we wouldn't want players on high wages. I would expect these are the basic wages with generous bonuses on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,199 Posted January 22, 2020 Being a vague acquaintance of one player Ill say that his is ridiculously out. They may as well have picked the numbers out of a hat! I'd guess it's the same with most of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 1,545 Posted January 22, 2020 If they were correct, you'd have to say that Byram apart, they were inversely 4 hours ago, king canary said: Generally the Football Manager database is a solid starting point but not going to be spot on.

I think in the Championship it was more like £15-20k for the top earners (excluding Naismith) and an average of around £10k. From Football Manager 2020, in the same order as in the article: Todd £22k, Dennis £5k, Jamal £22k, Ben £24k, Max £20k, Teemu £25k, Onel £22k, Emi £19k, Kenny £22k, Alex £19k, Christoph £19k, Tom £20k, Marco £22k, Mario £20k, Grant £19k, Sam £22k. That seems more likely, quite a few on similar wages to prevent discord about high earners, although Emi's is low in comparison to his standing within the team. They also haven't noticed that Srbeny isn't with us any more. Of course, I'm sure we'd all agree that whatever they're being paid, it's too much for just kicking a football about for 90 minutes a week 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seem to remember reading somewhere that Pukki is on 40k this season plus goal/ win bonuses, which although good money in real life, is peanuts for a likely 15-20 goal striker in the premier league.
