cummins17 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have noticed there has always been speculation of the highest earners within the club but not sure if all the rumours are true. Does anyone have any inside information on who the highest earners are and what sort of wages they are on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I only know the rough salaries of set players, none of whom are up to the top wage bracket. What I will say is top earners aren't on mega bucks in comparison to ChMpionship clubs when they signed.....I would imagine Kilkenny is around the top earner along with Baldock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Killa, Baldock, Davies I would imagine are amongst our top earners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon atyeo is my dad Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yep killa baldock & Davies top earners, also I think fielding will be on a good contract. Clearly Pearson being just paid by us is a waste of money so I hope he's off! Albert but he's going or at least we think he is? Elliott too?

WolfOfWestStreet Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Baldock was the highest earner in the champ. 18k. This has been reduced after relegation so not sure now who is the highest but I expect it probably still is him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have noticed there has always been speculation of the highest earners within the club but not sure if all the rumours are true. Does anyone have any inside information on who the highest earners are and what sort of wages they are on? Not sure no but what I can tell you is that he will be wearing a shirt next season sewn by a seamstress on perhaps as little as 35p per hour. The overall minimum wage in Indonesia went up just 3 months ago by an average 40% which is a nice rise of course until you realise that this only takes it to 49p per hour. That means she is on £3.92 per day or £19.60 per week. Mind you, I believe that is after tax and she does get free lunch and dinner and dormitory style accommodation if she wants it. Even a City player does not get that. £19.60 a week for a piece of garbage shirt that is being sold for what is it?.. £45. Personally I prefer to donate £22.50 to BCFC, I am guessing about their margin, and give the other £22.50 to a new fund in Jakarta to supplement worker wages.

CheddarReds Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Kilkenny will be on too much. Davies and Adomah will be higher earners. So will Baldock, but I can't imagine 18k. I suspect he came to City as he was promised first team football (just because he might not get as much as maybe promised doesn't mean it wasn't promised. Hope that made sense).

Redstoke Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Baldock was on 25k at west ham,so this figure of 18k would be realistic otherwise we would have had no chance of signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric04 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Are you really suggesting we spent £1 million of our wage bill on one player? Our wage bill for the year ending May 2012 was £18 million, but Del claimed he had slashed that dramatically last summer (he claimed it was cut in half). I can't therefore believe we would spend 1 million of approx 9 million total wage bill on Baldock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 good source then fair enough. Ill tell you the source over PM if you feel you need it. Think about it. Prem wages, turned down good offers from other league rivals. If you want another little tip bit Baldock was on 18K in champ Stead second highest on 15K Also ... Tango was on Glos Rd tonight with his mrs. Apparehtly there has been NO contract extension and is reporting back on Monday and fancy & not got a clue what's going on. No offers from outside, wants to stay but might be a free agent come Monday. Thinks he's been poorly treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldock was on 15k at West Ham. I have no idea where you have got 25k from. Really is it though? He rejected moves to Charlton and CP for reported wages of around the 15k mark. Why did he choose City? Was it our illustrious history and sold out stadia? Or the wedge? I got this info from people in the club. One is a friend I trust the other was Scott Murray. He was on 15k at West Ham. Charlton's highest earner at that time was 7k per week. He came here because we offered him somewhere around the 10k mark. Common knowledge that Palace and Charlton didn't have sums to spend on wages. I was employed by the football club, and no numerous employees in various different areas of the club....from players to cleaners. If you think anyone is on anything around the 18k mark your deluded.

Corleone Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 We didn't even bother chasing Ross McCormack because his agent started 12k per week (apparently) plus add ons (to the 5 clubs who enquired).....like **** are we suddenly going to fork out 18k for someone completely unproven at this level.

Also his contract expires monday which means his last paycheque so i expect he is keen to go in on monday and see what the score is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinredrobin Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 you can believe this or believe it not through a neighbour who works still at the club i got the odd titbit of gossip I learned that nicky maynard was the highest paid player at the club under GJ on £9k per week So if u imagine that was a few years ago then it is easy to believe that salaries of £10k - £12k per week have been paid since then For example it was always inferred that Stead and Pitman became top earners when they joined - I was told that wages and proximity to the South Coast was the reason Pitman joined us and not Blackpool I was also told ( and SL inferred this in later interviews ) that David James and Kilkenny's salaries were paid by him and not out of club funds ( which may sound odd because of course the Club funds were his moneu anyway ) Also at the end of last season Jon L confirmed that 90% of the £18m wage bill last season was on players - so thats £16.2m on the total squad , loanees and the young pros and U21's - if you do the maths on that its easy to believe that we had quite a few players on crazy wages of £10k + per week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookToTheFuture Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 This thread is ridiculous, NO ONE knows what our players earn!

Not sure if they have sold him now though EDIT: Sorry quoted the wrong person, was supposed to be replying to whoever said Baldock was the highest earner in the championship...
