Davefevs Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) FWIW I don’t think we will contract any new players / re-contract existing players above the £12-15k p.w mark going forward. Re someone like Naismith, you’d imagine he’d be near the top end of the range, but then again, that 3rd year on his deal might’ve been at the expense of a slightly reduced wage when it finally came to making the decision to sign. Bit like Weimann, who looked elsewhere, couldn’t get 3 years (possibly only two year deal at Stoke) so ended up happy to sign here for what was on offer. Quite possible that Nahki was similar, two years guaranteed rather than a summer trying to eke out a better wage and maybe only for one year, then have to do the same the summer after. What we do know is we aren’t offering the kind of wages we once were…and nor are most clubs outside the PP clubs. It’s probably all a bit futile really. You have players at different stages of their career, the number of contracts they’ve signed in the past, are they academy or not (not that it should matter imho), etc, influencing what they get paid. When they step over the white line, it’s what happens next that matters. Of course it’s a great discussion topic, especially with the financial situation, but nobody really knows, even when speaking to someone who does know, they are still probably using ball-park figures rather than actuals…unless it’s the person themselves and they really go into specifics. Even our own salaries aren’t always straightforward. Edited January 2, 2023 by Davefevs Quote

Silvio Dante Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) In my time in financial services, I’ve seen a fair few players contracts. They are an absolute mess to work out what will actually come in outside of the basic. The reason for this is things like win bonuses are graduated dependent on where the win takes the club in the table after that round of games - higher it takes you, higher the bonus. Case in point - a few years ago I was asked to look at a loan application for a footballer at league one level. What is common when applying for a mortgage is you take 100% of basic and 50% of non guaranteed bonuses. To get to the bonus level stated, the player would have had to do along the lines of start every game, the club not gone out of the top 6 all season, scored 10 goals, not been booked and the club get to the FA cup quarter finals. He was a DM who’d played maybe 70% of games the prior year. Suffice to say it was declined and the broker threw an absolute fit… Edited January 2, 2023 by Silvio Dante 1 Quote

It's not basic wage, it's not a bonus, and it's normally paid to a separate rights company. But it is pretty much guaranteed income.

Would it just be separate income derived from/through said company? Because it’s paid through a separate company, it’s treated in the same way as any self employed income. The issue may be that you’d have no “history” (and with Self Employed, you’d generally want 3 years history to see sustainability). Bear in mind that in accounts you’ll see other costs as well, and unless the lender is minded to add back, generally you only consider income (net profit) post those costs for loan approval purposes. So, simplified answer, if I knew player A was receiving (to his ltd company) £1m a year image rights, and these were contractually guaranteed, starting position would be to assume the companies net profit position would be sustainable for the contract term as a minimum. That’s not an absolute though as it depends on how long the existing contract has left, where the player is in his career and, on the flip side, whether there are any add backs on the accounts. 1 1 Quote

Mad Cyril Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 It is pretty savage of City to be giving players these negative pay rises during the cost of living crisis.

bcfcredandwhite Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) These salary websites are unreliable - yet people choose to believe and quote them when they want to highlight a player as being overpaid. Unless you work in the clubs HR or Payroll departments - or know the players personally (and they are prepared to reveal what they are earning - unlikely) then these websites are all there is to go on. Wells and Palmer for example took a load of stick on here (and other forums) for being overpaid and various sites were quoted, but when Simpson was listed as being on £15k per week the same sites were suddenly ‘bollocks’ and you were a **** if you believe them. People believe and quote what they want to underline the point they are trying to make If anyone knows enough to call a figure ‘bollocks’ then it would be good to know what the true figures are and the source of this biblical truth.

Unless you work in the clubs HR or Payroll departments - or know the players personally (and they are prepared to reveal what they are earning - unlikely) then these websites are all there is to go on. Wells and Palmer for example took a load of stick on here (and other forums) for being overpaid and various sites were quoted, but when Simpson was listed as being on £15k per week the same sites were suddenly ‘bollocks’ and you were a **** if you believe them. People believe and quote what they want to underline the point they are trying to make If anyone knows enough to call a figure ‘bollocks’ then it would be good to know what the true figures are and the source of this biblical truth. Re Palmer, he did acutally have to report his wage (when he went to court), and at the time was on £110,000 per month. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/live-former-huddersfield-town-star-15224568 Quote

Hxj Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 My limited experience is that most footballers don't actually know what they really earn. What they do have a really good handle is how much they can waste spend every week. 1 Quote
