Double his wages

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Double cummings wages....hes an absolute goal machine.....we need to keep players like him....end of

[Northernhibee]

Thought he looked offside when the ball was lobbed over their back line in the first ten minutes. Could have had two or three.

Nope... players aren't on that great money although it's a more than what the average man does. All players and managemt staff were told last season and this one. On promotion wages will double

I can assure you that will not be happening...whoever told you that was telling porkies. Our wages are still much higher than the majority of the Prem. They didn't come down when we were relegated.

why do people believe or make stuff like this up...That is not the case. Key players are on top league salaries already - only way to retain them. And not all players will be with us next season, so there is zero use in making an offer like that...would be meaningless.

Doesn't he still have 2/3 years left after this season ?

[Dashing Bob S]

Double his wages for scoring prowess, half them for idiocy.



Or maybe just keep as they are to avoid admin problems.

Neil Lennon is the highest paid manager in the history of our club, you're suggesting his wage is to double?

[eastcoasthibby]

There will be an increase in the wage bill, because we will want to retain certain players and also players we bring in will need to be paid a bit more than what we are paying ...if we want the better quality in positions needed....all of course will be irrelevant if we blow it and fail to get promoted ..it may well be wage cuts !
Let's hope the players get the must win attitude from now on and earn either a wee pay ruse or a new contract those that we are keeping anyway !!

Not having a pop at you, but the players are not getting double what they earn now. Source... Couple of players who played last night!

So whoever told you this is pulling your leg!

How can you possibly know the salaries of our players and managemental to make the comment you did? To suggest that Hibs would make a promise to double all wages on promotion is ridiculous especially given that by all accounts we have maintained a top league budget to get promotion anyway.

That's what am saying players wages will be doubled.. let's not forget we will only be paying £1000/£2000 max on wages at the moment if your lucky

Mate - you are making it up, or have been mis-informed...no football club, makes a "double your wages" commitment - knowing there will be a big turnover in players when we go up...it would be meaningless, and economic suicide.

[marinello59]

No, they're not.

[Keith_M]

Lennon is on a salary of roughly 5k per week, plus a generous bonus for promotion

[Mon Dieu4]

For double the wage I'd rather have players twice as good, I love an outlandish theory :faf:

No chance . Hibs won't be paying £5000 a week

Truth is that I heard that from somebody that does occasional (contract) work at ER, original source being a rather gossipy admin lady, and have no idea how genuine it is.

[Sioux]

So, are we paying a maximum of £1000 per week or £2000 per week?

Or, are we paying everyone £1000 per week, except for those that are paid £2000 per week?

What are you talking about?

In your scenario, the Club are budgeting for income to more than double.

Is that the case?

For someone who is supposedly so in the know, surely you'd know it if was 1000 or 2000?

Agree would be total lunacy to promise that and definitely won't happen. Many players out of contract at the end of the season so a few decisions to make.

Hibs wouldn't have got him for less IMO

Lol, we are already paying 'SPL' wages.

And SPL season ticket prices

[Scouse Hibee]

I love the mythical threads about salaries and the total lack of any financial sense.

[Ozyhibby]

I hate to get involved in the idiocy of this everyone's wages getting doubled claim but a quick look at our accounts over the last few years will quickly put this one to bed. We are currently spending £3.8m on staff costs on a turnover of £7m. Where is the scope to double wages there, even if the players only make up half that?
There was no reduction in staff costs when we went down.
The wage bill probably will go up next season as I expect the summer signings to reflect the fact that our crowds are up 60% but to suggest that everyone wages are about to double is absolute fantasy.

£100k for playing football!.. ..sounds ok. Do you need a degree? Get real. Footballers wages are ridiculous and it is the supporters who end up paying.

I have no idea - but let me be first to claim the figure of £7000 per week for Franck. Fact. End of etc etc

[HibernianJK]

I have no evidence to back this up but can't see any player being on more than £2k basic however I imagine Lennon will probably be on a fair bit more than that.

[HibsNutter]

They only get what someone is willing to pay them, they have made themselves worth what they are paid. Some of the suggestions on this thread have been bonkers, but we should offer wage increases and improved contracts to the likes of McGinn and Cummings if it is necessary in persuading them to stay when we go up. Sick of seeing our best players leave prematurely.

[Northernhibee]

Go and pick up an application form then if it works like that.

20-30 goal a season strikers are few and far between and every club wants one. Limited supply, infinite demand. That's how wages end up high.

Anybody can get a degree. Players good enough to play for Hibs are pretty rare.

Lennon actually took less money to get Parker in. You'll be lucky if he is even on a 3rd of that.

HIBERNIAN APPOINT NEIL LENNON
By: Hibernian Media on 08 Jun, 2016 22:03


Hibernian FC can confirm that Neil Lennon has agreed to join the Club as Head Coach.

Neil succeeds Alan Stubbs, who left the Club following the Scottish Cup Final win to become Manager at Rotherham United FC.

Neil joins on a 2-year deal, and will be assisted by Garry Parker.

Rod Petrie, Chairman of Hibernian, said: “We are delighted to have secured a Head Coach of Neil’s calibre and profile, and we look forward to him bringing his drive and mentality to our campaign to win the Championship this season and secure promotion back to the top flight of Scottish football.”

Leeann Dempster, Chief Executive, added: “As soon as Neil was identified as the outstanding candidate we were determined to bring him to Easter Road. He has managed at a very high level, taking Celtic to the last 16 of the Champions League, and we were attracted by his ability to get the most out of players and his driven, winning mentality.

"On behalf of everyone at Hibernian FC we would like to extend a warm welcome to both Neil and Garry."

[Winston Ingram]

He's the highest paid manager.

Bobby was on £200k.

That was a completely different era. Back then the TV deal was enormous. Players like Gary Smith were on £8k a week. John O'Neil was on roughly £10k a week. We had the money to pay that then. We don't now. I'd love to see where it says NL is our highest ever paid manager as it's the first i've heard of it.

[Winston Ingram]

The other thing on this every player will get his wages doubled.

To my knowledge only 5 are in contract. McGinn, Cummings, McGeouch, Forster & Hanlon.

What is also pretty staggering is the idea that players wages were not reduced automatically on relegation. My understanding is that it is a standard term in a players contracts for a %age decrease following relegation (and for an increase following subsequent promotion). Certainly figures around the 20-25% mark are touted as industry standard.
In terms of the company returns showing that the wage bill stayed at a similar level on relegation, that is likely because of the additional players that were brought in.
As a result of the massive turnaround in staff and players remaining from the relegation season, any wage percentage decreases would not have a significant impact on the player wage bill.
On the other side of the coin, I would be amazed if players whose contracts run into next season do not have a %age increase should we gain promotion. Again though, new contracts signed would not technically need to abide by this though players would most likely get improved terms for obvious reasons.
