Wages

[Coffin Ender]

This, written by a Dulwich fan, is taken from another forum. The wages paid to non-league players never ceases to amaze me...

 

"Money paid is certainly not equal across the board in our division, Ryman One. We are reckoned to pay £3,000 a week. Our top earners are on about £300 a week, but many lower than that. This is a huge amount of money in my book, and we are not the top payers by a long chalk, albeit one of the higher ones. Last season we were paying out £2,000 a week.

"The problem with knowing how much players/clubs are on (& we live in a very small, gosiip filled, goldfish bowl in non league football) is that you are not sure if the figures quoted are before or after tax; bonuses and so on.

"Fisher Athletic pay well over £10,000 a week. I know one player last season was on £600 basic, with extra for win bonuses and goal scoring bonuses. On some weeks he cleared a grand! And prior to last season he turned down £500 a week from Macclesfield Town to return to the Football League, instead choosing the money at Fisher!"

 

Makes you wonder what our weekly wage bill will be next season!

I've got a friend who was offered to play for fisher. Trust me, wages are beyond 600... and very iffy.

No wonder facilities at most clubs are so bad if they are having to pay out silly wages like that.

Must be a good idea to have a strong youth policy.
