TF: Highest wage is £65,000

TF has been on Sky Sports and has said that the highest wage at the club is £65,000 with the majority of players having a relegation release clause in their contract. So that should hopefully shut up the idiots who believe that Samba is on £100,000 a week!

Good on TF!

 

Toon had agreed £70K with Remy, but perhaps he just really loves London!

 

Barton is on £70k per week.

 

Possibly, but Marseilles pay a chunk of it.

Good for Tone.

 

Why talk about the relegation release clause unless the club can activate it?

 

But is he? Has this ever come from a reliable source or just paper talk?

 

IIRC Karl Henry said after their 0-3 defeat at Molyneux that Joey kept taunting him during the game on the lines of 'I'm on 80 grand, how much are you on?'

 

If what Arry said is correct then this makes Bosingwa the joint highest earner... :0/

 

Is that £65k before or after tax though?!!

 

Doesn't seem to matter how many times the management say it, nobody wants to listen!
Truth is that they're all on at least £95k a week and big bonuses, despite going down. Any players who leave on a free transfer will get a pay-off of 6 weeks wages as a minimum as a thank you for their services (and their contracts paid up).
The bloke in the newsagents around the corner from the ground, where Remy buys his L'Equippe, told me. So it must be true!!!!

 

Not exactly cast iron evidence in my mind.

Ah, finally, a credible source.
