Brighton's wage bill

[John Boy]

What is the average wage bill for the players?

 

[Beach Hut]

I think one of highest paid is on around £5K a week.

 

[Gotsmanov]

24p.

 

[chez]

No idea, but as an average I would guess at about £30 - £35k a year.

 

[BensGrandad]

No idea, but as an average I would guess at about £30 - £35k a year.

For your next joke that isnt as much as most of the supporters. I think it would be nearer if you added £80 to £100K to it.

 

[Yorkie]

Some of our squad are on £400 a week

 

[Yorkie]

Btw Bensgrandad Ned & I combined don't earn £30K

 

[Beach Hut]

Some of our squad are on £400 a week

Err I would add a nought to that

 

[Yorkie]

Err I would add a nought to that

I am serious. There is one player on that and then on a goal bonus of £1000 per goal

Hmmm, yeah. I didnt do my maths very well there did I.

Make that around £115k give or take a few grand. I know jake is on £17k a year.

 

[Beach Hut]

I am serious. There is one player on that and then on a goal bonus of £1000 per goal

I would suggest that player sacks his agent then. That is seriously crap money for being in the Championship.

 

[BensGrandad]

Btw Bensgrandad Ned & I combined don't earn £30K

That is p..s poor I should get another job.

 

[Beach Hut]

That is p..s poor I should get another job.

Maybe they enjoy their jobs ?

 

[Yorkie]

That is p..s poor I should get another job.

Such as?

Ned works in a factory and I work in an office

 

[fatboy]

Some of the younger and less established players may be on low money; take into account £17k per annum for Robinson at 17, the likes of Virgo and Harding won't be on much more than that.

Although 17k works out at £325 a week, which for a 17 year old is good but is a pretty piss poor wage, especially for a 2nd division football player, so most of them will be on a lot more than that.

Pitcher was on £1300 a week.

I would imagine Knight, Cullip and Kuipers/Roberts are high earners, with Butters still matching the top earner. Giving Knight a low wage and a high goal bonus is one way of not paying Butters so much.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Whatever they are on I would imagine it is more then most of them would get paid if they were not footballers.

 

[fatboy]

Possibly not.

Will Packham and Danny Marney are doing very well combining money from non league football with working for Marney's dads window sales company.

Simon Rodger's wife has a well paid job, as did Paul Rogers before he started pro football.

Geoff Pitcher runs a sucessful building company and Dave Lee has done reasonably well in his acting career impersonating a football player.

 

[Zebedee]

Whatever they are on I would imagine it is more then most of them would get paid if they were not footballers.

You're probably right Richie.

 

[Beach Hut]

Simon Rodger's wife has a well paid job, as did Paul Rogers before he started pro football.

Paul Roger worked in the city and I would imagine was on quite good money

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I cannot imagine Knight having a job. Butters would be a labouror. Cullip a doorman. Roberts a waitor in a Cardiff restaurant. Jones a sales rep. Chippie would live off the land like in Tom and Barbara in the Good Life and Charlie would work in an east end boxing gym.
