And not told to me in a "Did you hear this???" way but in a very matter of fact fashion. Don't get me wrong. My understanding is that if a U20s player doesn't feature for the first team, they earn a very very very small wage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Under the Dempster regime, I believe some players got close to a 6 figure bonus at the end of the season but I think/hope they days are gone. Or else, our tenner a month isn't going to stretch far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also forking out transfer fees. For a club of their size that isn't sustainable - I know they're being bankrolled by Roy MacGregor. However its unlikely that he's simply donating cash to the club with no strings attached. I'd like to see their annual accounts for the past year or so. Does UEFA financial fair play rules extend to all clubs or just those involved in European competition? I know Man City had restrictions placed on them due to their Abu Dhabi based owners, but I'd agree with you, SPFL TV money, league placing cash, cup prize money and gate receipts from a very remote team ..... all doesn't seem to add up. I suppose I'm just miffed as I think Irvine would have been a fantastic asset to our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshillWell Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 The figures being quoted here are ridiculous. Young players at Celtic are not on two grand if they make a first team appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem likely that a wage of £2.5k should frighten us... No chance. 1 u20 I know is on around £200 week basic but his bonus is £100 per point if he is in match day squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on similar wages (£200/week) before signing a contract extension. I have seen what he drives. He will have a lease car through motorpoint partly subsidised by the club. He won't be earning anymore than £600 a week basic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas is on a first team contract. However, all young players can get get a leased top of the range Merc/Audi if they want, even on a modest wage.

MelvinBragg Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Only going by what I was told by a U20. Only point I was trying to make was that I felt a wage of £2.5k wouldn't frighten us off of Jackson Irvine. Was it not the fee that Celtic were looking for..?

BigWeegieDosser Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 First team squad- 20 players? On 2.5 weekly per man= £2.6 million annual wage bill- plus the U20s and staff etc. with pitifully small TV revenue and maybe 4500 typical home attendance- I find that a bit unlikely unless Les has got incredibly deep pockets- which, by implication , would mean one monster of a debt to be repaid to him. I really have no idea what the wage structure looks like but I would hazard a guess at a VERY small group of players on the kind of money being quoted with the vast majority on a fraction of it.

I wasn't suggesting the lease was dear, approximately £500 a month it would cost. However insurance for footballers is one of the highest for any profession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 From bits and pieces of information I suspect our Under 20s are on something like £300 - £500 per week. First team squad £1,000 - £2,000. In terms of the total wage bill, you need to add on 9% to cover employers' costs (pension & NI). So, a player earning £100,000 per year cost his club about £109,000 annually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hopefully we'll hear some news on new signings later on today. Maybe English clubs will be slightly easier to deal with as their 1800 hrs deadline approaches - no doubt the usual brinkmanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
