I'm not denying that.
Kids yes, because they can see that they will get to first team football sooner. Not established Pros.
Ah, I agree
Hard to compete with clubs who sign the likes of elite established players who want 6 figure salaries and Champions League football - agreed.
They chose Brighton without competition from the big Prem league clubs. We can now out-pay most except the European elite and biggest Prem teams so of course they were happy to choose us.
Well Milner chose to come to us rather than stay at Liverpool. But yes - as i said we can't compete on wages with the elite European teams who have bigger stadiums, incomes and even richer owners.
Aren't we still the 4th/5th lowest paying teams in the league. We are probably one of the only teams not to have at least one player on over 100k a week.
Would be interesting to know if that’s still true. Wouldn’t be suprised if Dunk is around or over that now.
Simply put no one knows it's complete guess work. Makes me chuckle when posters say on here blah is on blah, really? They guess so as to look itk but they know f*** all like the rest of us.
He was open to a move to us otherwise he wouldn't have been discussing personal terms!!
Sounds like he wanted a low release clause. His loss. Guarantee we do better than them in Europe.
According to a dullard who is paid to know these things then our total wage bill is still bumping around the bottom of the PL and the average PL wage for the Albion was (based on 21/22 accounts) around 60K a week or so.
Two seasons ago then since when we've hit 6th and Europe. Since then we've signed high profile players given new contracts to Mac A MC and LD. Therefore it's pure guesswork like I said.
Yes as we only pay threepence per year
And we lock our players up.
Be even better when he’s on the losing side again then. Should’ve signed for a big club.
Better supported in a stadium that we, the taxpayers are paying for !!
Not London - West Ham is in quite a rough part of London, it’s not exactly Chelsea . Money talks .
