Who's left on big money?

[supertommykN'iba]

Certainly hope so Dave!

It was recently reported in a couple of papers that Bent is on £80,000 pw.

I don't think that that it is as high as we may think. When you consider that Shawcross just signed a new contract for 45,000 per week. I feel that a lot of the wages may have been inflated by supporters.

These weekly sums are, of course, net of tax ...

just saying, like.

I thought the accepted protocol here is wage levels quoted are usually before tax.
I vaguely remember in the 1990s an Italian player was supposed to be moving to England and the move broke down with a misunderstanding over wages he was told by his agent. Apparently in Italy unlike here, figures quoted/negotiated are always `netto`.

That was always my understanding of it as well.

Well, I may be wrong, but I thought recently people had been talking in net terms ...

I think the sums normally quoted are before tax. Where the confusion arises I think is that some European players initially negotiate on the basis of net pay, because of the varying tax rules between Countries.

I'm a big fan of Ireland and would like him to get more game time, especially as I'm not massive on Bannan and Holman is a 60 minute player.

Saying that, Bannan and Westwood do play well together.

I can see Lambert going back in for that Charlton midfielder we missed out on in the summer.

One on big money I would sell is Gabby.

[PaulTheVillan]

Just considering how much the wage bill might be reduced by July and what that could mean for our ability to bring in new signings?

This is based on memory and Football Manager 2013 but I think we could be free of the wages of :
Dunne - over 50k a week ?
Warnock - 40k
Marshall -10k
Lichaj - 15k? But we should resign him
Hutton - 40k - here,s wishing
Makoun - 40k - again possibly sweet FA chance
Bent - 80k
Delfouneso - 20k
Ireland - 50k - guess

That little lot is about 350k a week by my guestimates. Even if we only get 200k this year and the rest in 2014 then that creates a huge amount of funds - about 20 million in reductions to invest in say 2 or 3 signings in the benteke / vlaar mould.

If we can get through this season then we could be very well set up to challenge in the top half again

Gabby has got to be on close to £50k a week

There's been very little Netto about the kind of wages we've been dishing out in recent years.

We've been buying our Pot Noodles at Fortnum & Masons

[darren woolley]

We need to shift some more of the big hitters Dunne, N'Zogbia, Hutton and Warnock would do for starters and the Fonz I would try to sell them asap.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Surely Makoun's wages are being paid by the club that's loaned him??

[Phil from the upper holte]

I also think Gabby might go, We've looked better without him in the team

[Des Little]

Everyone on that list can go as far as I'm concerened
