All 3rd hand info of course as this person was speaking to an official at Smurfs FC

Subject of wages for Smurfs players came up and it was mentioned that one high profile player was on only 88k a season.

Yep only 88k

This bloke will be the bloke most likely lifting the toilet seat at FT on Sunday

Now the reason he is on that money is he wants to play at a good club


Now contrast that with the reported 6figure deals we are paying our captain and the 6figure deal we reported to be paying Raheem Sterling

Reality is there is good players out there not on anywhere near the money we are paying lesser players
That what we need to start addressing

Return on $$ spent in player wages.
That is one advantage a big city team has over regional sides. If I said to you you could play for any EPL team who would you pick, Man City, Utd, Chelsea or WBA Stoke etc???
