Durnerz Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 Who is the highest paid player at the moment? Anyone know?
dandannieldanok Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 I dont know officially but I do think De Vries is a high earner.
Durnerz Posted 13 July 2006 Author Posted 13 July 2006 I dont know officially but I do think De Vries is a high earner. I reckon its Williams, one of the only ones left, if not THE only one left signed on the Adams contract when we had some money to play about with.

Durnerz Posted 13 July 2006 Author Posted 13 July 2006 What about Twatto. Hes on reduced terms now isnt he?
dandannieldanok Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 Hes on reduced terms now isnt he? Yeah I dont think he was on high wages anyway
De Vries The King Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 Hughes or Douglas maybe? Or it could be Johansson.
lookwhaticando Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 I'd bet on it being one of (and the logic): Williams - an MA signing Nissa - joined from a Premiership side. Douglas - coming from Celtic. Hughes might be on quite a bit, tho probably less than Williams. MDV might be top 5, but I don't see him or any of the ex-Jambos having the highest. I'd say it probably isn't Douglas - instead of getting a large paypacket, he was probably persuaded to accept a longer contract instead. Thinking about it, if Kisnorbo gets the contract it's rumoured he'll be offered, he'd probably be right up at the top or very close to. Williams or Nissa are the likely highest earners.

By that reasoning Sylla should be pretty well paid
lookwhaticando Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 By that reasoning Sylla should be pretty well paid Perhaps so, but I decided against including Sylla when I wrote that up. He wasn't that valuable to Celtic, he didn't start that many games for the 4/5 seasons he was there. Douglas was a far more important player up at Celtic - hence he started 4 times as many games as Sylla Momo Sylla, despite only being there just one extra season. Wasn't he called a 'utility' player when we signed him? Surely that counts against him in the wages stakes. I take your point though, and it is depressing really - he's probably on a fair packet.
lookwhaticando Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 I bet Lee Morris was on a fair packet too - possibly more than Williams. Thank god we got shot of that financial black hole.
mat_j101 Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 The way Kisnorbo ended the season, id be happy for him to be one of our top few earners
lookwhaticando Posted 13 July 2006 Posted 13 July 2006 The way Kisnorbo ended the season, id be happy for him to be one of our top few earners Rather him than some other particular individuals... :pinch:
SystonFox Posted 14 July 2006 Posted 14 July 2006 Williams due to him being the last of the MA Era. Douglas cos he came from celtic Nissa cos he came from blackburn Sylla cos have u seen his car?!!!
john_lcfc Posted 14 July 2006 Posted 14 July 2006 how much are they on also? 10,000 a week top earner???????? <_<
Dr The Singh Posted 14 July 2006 Posted 14 July 2006 how much are they on also? 10,000 a week top earner???????? <_< I think all of the top earners must be around that much!!! It's alot of money for alot of players that are not performing!!!
steve_wilson101 Posted 14 July 2006 Posted 14 July 2006 I think all of the top earners must be around that much!!! It's alot of money for alot of players that are not performing!!! Can't believe any of our players are on quite that much these days - remember we're budgeting for the championship. I'd say £5-6k max. Pure speculation of course. Would be interesting if clubs were required to declare salaries for the benefit of fans - might be an invasion of player's privacy though
Tommeh Posted 14 July 2006 Posted 14 July 2006 Williams due to him being the last of the MA Era. Douglas cos he came from celtic Nissa cos he came from blackburn Sylla cos have u seen his car?!!! Williams has the nicest cars, porsche 911 and merc 4x4. syllas is just a X5 BMW with massive drug dealer wheels
julian_joach Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 i think douglas is on about around 10 grand a week
wirralsimon Posted 16 July 2006 Posted 16 July 2006 i think douglas is on about around 10 grand a week |I'd be very surprised if it's anything like that. CL had to reduce the total wage bill from 11m to 6m when he arrived, and it is now being squeezed a lot further because the parachute payments have ended, so it is very unlikely anyone is on 10k a week now. CL gave an interview early last season when he said that he hadn't needed to offer big wages to anyone who was ex-SPL (Including ex-Celtic).Outside of a few top earners, (Lennon, Petrov etc.) the average wage in the SPL is lower than in the championship. Williams dates from the MA years when we still paid decent salaries, so my money is on him to be top earner. Otherwise I doubt if we are paying more than 5k to anyone. I think most of the x-SPL guys are on 2-4k a week. Simon
