CMS Snippet

[Phat Baz 68]

Something I just read on Sky Sports online that CMS quoted in an interview that made my eyes open wide.


When I was at Rotherham in 2002 in what would have been the Championship, we were playing against the likes of Manchester City and West Brom,
I think our top earner was on about £100,000 a year while some of City's lads were on £100,000 a month.

And that was 12 years ago at ROTHERHAM !!!!!!!
That equates to around just over £2000 a week which would be what now about £8000 a week or maybe more ?

Would have guessed that with inflation, the wages would now equate to about £2,500.00 a week.

Maths never was my strong point ha ha !!
It seems a hefty pay salary for a club like Rotherham, who, even in the championship rarely got over 5000 watching if that probably and they didn't have a rich owner either.
Also i would have thought being Yorkshire way they wouldn't sell much merchandise as far bigger clubs around that area. Leeds, Sheff Weds, Sheff Utd etc etc

What with the fact that Craig Mackail Smith has never played for Rotherham, this is a pretty good thread all round

But Barrington 'knows someone that works for the club who told him that...' and 'has got a mate that was working for CMS...'.

Are you suggesting that some of his 'snippetts' of information arent entirely accurate?

Not even then, really! (He didn't play for Dagenham until 2004, and never in 'what would have been the Championship'.)

In 2002 he was playing for St.Albans.

Initially I thought this thread was going nowhere, as it would seem to be based on the premise:-

'Footballists are over paid'.

But St Albans were paying £100,000 a year, f**k me that is surprising, and worthy of it's own thread.

Apologies it started as CMS interview then went into Kevin Davies and Guy Branstons so its Branstons words not CMS.

No offence, Baz, but that opening post is almost as bad as an marketing email about a kit sale just after an FA Cup exit

If you read Dick's book we were paying £2k aweek to Zamora in 2000, on crowds of 6K.

Surely this is a situation the interweb was built to resolve?
