I don't care what folks say. ye don't make 1200 quid a week driving a taxiIt would make you wonder why people do it part time or at weekends. If you were lifting a wage like that you'd br full time, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like his move to Fulham before, will we be in line for a very small percentage of that figure? This is his fourth move since leaving us mate, I very much doubt it.

steelboy Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Just googled and we are due 1% of the total fee (0.5% for each of his two seasons). So if it is £12m we would get £120,000. Quote If a professional moves during the course of a contract, 5% of any compensation, not including training compensation paid to his former club, shall be deducted from the total amount of this compensation and distributed by the new club as a solidarity contribution to the club(s) involved in his training and education over the years. This solidarity contribution refl ects the number of years (calculated pro rata if less than one year) he was registered with the relevant club(s) between the seasons of his 12 th and 23 rdbirthdays, as follows Quote The new club shall pay the solidarity contribution to the training club(s) pursuant to the above provisions no later than 30 days after the player’s registration or, in case of contingent payments, 30 days after the date of such payments.

Rubbish - I know a dozen that are on that kind of money - go try to buy a general hire plate, £40 - £50,000 it will cost you. People ain't investing that to earn £500 a week. Ya'll are just not reading and understanding what has been written. Which is kinda entertaining and normal - I bet some of you are jumping into taxis and pumping the drivers for info now. Hilarious.

I know one who takes in £1000 off a Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Motherwell. It is worth noting that it is not profit, some have to pay radio money, halfers to car owner etc. £50k takings a year is easily achievable - profit less so 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when my company bills my time to a client. If I got that money in my pocket, I'd retire. Unfortunately there are those pesky overheads like tax, insurance, heat, light, internet, phones, holidays, training etc. that also have to be paid - not to mention the time when I'm not working for a client. Would be great if turnover = profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's seven days in a week, work it out - three days to cover the outgoings - three days to earn the coin. I started in the taxi trade in 1988, I don't need some internet clown telling me how much general hire owner operators earn. It is you, sir, that's talking shite.

Usual small minded idiot that can't handle the truth. Are there 2 weekends in a week now? Next door neighbour is a taxi owner operator, says he can make close to that much only if he hammers it. His reckoning was £1000, £200 a week short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent most of his development with Rangers but, of course, that would be the old Rangers that went into liquidation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
