spudski Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 ...anyone else see this story? Didn't Zak Clough try to negotiate being our highest wage earner as well? Championship side Bolton Wanderers face the very real prospect of League One football next season, as they fight to remain in the second flight of English football. With just four wins in 34 games, Neil Lennon's side are sat in 23rd place with a disappointing 25 points. Despite their admirable efforts at the weekend at Burnley, The Trotters face a real test to remain in the Championship. Despite their poor run of form, reports online have revealed the clubs current wage bill and it will leave supporters concerned for the future of Bolton Wanderers. Here are some of Bolton's highest earners. Just think, this could be a real issue if Bolton are relegated into League One: Mark Davies - £18k per week Jay Spearing - £18k per week David Wheater - £17k per week Liam Feeney - £17k per week Ben Amos - £16k per week Darren Pratley - £14k per week Liam Trotter - £11k per week Neil Danns - £10k per week Derik Osede - £10k per week Dorian Dervite - £9k per week Gary Madine - £8k per week Emile Heskey - £7k per week On top of these weekly wage bills, some players receive an extra £3k per game. Plus there is NO pay cuts if Bolton are relegated from The Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 What is amazing is that the fans are setting up membership at a cost of £10 to help the club out financially. You'd just need to give some of them a 1k a week paycut to easily cover all the costs they get from any membership scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 People have been saying for ages that footballers' wages can't keep going up so they do need this sort of thing happening to act as a corrective. Bolton outbid and outspent other clubs now they've gone bust, Leeds next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Amazing that Heskey is earning more than Kodjia. Our star striker is someone who I think should certainly be given a better contract in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds by all accounts have managed to get their losses down from over £18m last year to just over £2m this time around!! It was mentioned on Soccer AM on Saturday!! I don't think Cellino will allow them to go bust, it maybe one of the reasons that their managers gut such short contracts, that way he's not left with a huge pay off when he lets them go!!

Loco Rojo Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 And some of our fans complain that SL isn't ambitious enough to spend to get certain players in yet in reality to do that we'd end up potentially paying wages like this which isn't sustainable for a club our size.

Natchfever Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Their fans didn't give a stuff when Gartside was campaigning to have the Premier League as a closed shop so **** Bolton.

They lived beyond their means, knew they were living beyond their means and were campaigning for insurance for when the bubble burst, which they knew it was going to. For those that say 'we (as fans) would be the same', I don't think so. When the Gray and Gayle bids plenty moaned about us overspending, about us showing our financial hand and what knock on effect it would have for other transfers we might try to make.

downendcity Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 We all know how much TV money goes to clubs in the prem. With this in mind, I was gobsmacked when reading that Bolton made a profit in only 1 (perhaps2) of the 11 seasons they were in the prem. If this is the case then it's hardly a surprise they are going down the financial pan in the championship. The more I read stories like this the more I'm amazed that fans still think it's a good idea for SL to throw big money at transfers and wages. He wants the club to be self supporting and sustainable long term and I think he's right . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants the club to be self supporting and sustainable long term and I think he's right . I can't argue with that but the difference between City and many clubs in the shite is that our owner is a fan and has billions . I think that's why some people believe he should dig deeper to get us where we want to be and perhaps work on the self sufficiency once we are getting all that telly money. I don't know either way but we certainly haven't been a model of efficiency for donkeys years so perhaps it should be a case of spending the market rate for players who will get us where SL is aiming for.whatever that may be and do anything to avoid bloating the squad and shovelling average Champ wages at journeymen just to fit in with what on paper sounds a fair wage structure.

22A Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The Bolton wages listed add up to £155,000 every week; £8,060,000 a year. TV rights etc for the Championship are "only" £7 million so that's over a million short fall to be found from sponsorship and gate revenue. Then of course there's such incidentals as paying stadium staff, the manager and coaches. Then travel to away games plus all the utility bills (electric for floodlights & water for showers and so on). Then there's the cost of the reserves and youth teams. The TV money in League 1 is two million, so that's an immediate saving of five million to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
