hackneyfox Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 Mike You posted a few months ago about some player of ours living in digs in Watford? The point of your post being that people shouldn't believe the alleged salaries that players were on. Just wondering who it was and how much you believed he was on, I'm asking due to claims elsewhere that Vardy is on 7k a week. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 I would be surprised if he was even on that myself, Chris Wood said Millwall had offered him more money so I don't think we are chucking silly money about.

I hadn't heard that, but didn't Millwall did claim that whatever they offered we offered even more? I'm sure that led to people claiming he was on 20k a week.

Chris Wood "It had nothing to do with money because Millwall blew Leicester out of the water in that sense — the fans don’t see stuff like that. For me Leicester was simply another step up. I knew that in time, if I was playing in the Premier League, the money would follow."

shade Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 I can't say which player for obvious reasons, but a well known LCFC player lives in a cardboard box under a bridge near me, don't believe what you hear about footballers wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 Albert is still adamant that Vardy is on 7k a week. Not beyond the realms of possibility given the fee paid and the amount of clubs who were fighting over him at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 Albert is still adamant that Vardy is on 7k a week. Good for him... Still better value per league goal than a certain Mr Jermaine Beckford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackneyfox Posted 23 May 2013 Author Share Posted 23 May 2013 He may well be but he's hardly been value for money himself has he? No wonder that we'll fail FFP if we're paying that amount to a player who has just stepped up from non league at the age of 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckneymike Posted 23 May 2013 Share Posted 23 May 2013 A hoy hoy Hackers. Schlupp is the MK based player, lives in a shitty bedsit. I am not ITK in any way about wages, fees or owt like that. As I've said on numerous occasions only once in my life have I been privy to a players salary (and a Man United one at that) and that's because the daft **** sold their house to a relative of mine and left their wage slips behind. Also left a 'broken washer tumble drier (wasn't broke, just needed the water tray emptying) as well as haning the keys over to them as soon as they put an offer in, they had to explain to him how house selling works. Anyway, they were on 8k a week only AFTER making x amount of first team apps (think around 20), prior to that it was 2k A MONTH. Now this was 3 years ago and they've since moved on to another top Prem club but I'm always incredibly dubious on reported wages bearing in mind what United actually pay.
