how much do we pay in wages ???

[yekimevol]

i thought we were past paying under £2,000 for our good players.

I remember hearing that we were paying alan o'brien around £5,000 and riordan was on £3,000. so why are we having problems signing a good player. im not expecting the £14,000 he is on but at least £3,000 why are we offering £1,400 ?

extract from evening news.
Continuing to discharge his Easter Road duties in the meantime, Calderwood has expressed his desire to tie up Sheridan but the wage offer from the Leith club is only a tenth of his £14,000-a-week salary with current club CSKA Sofia. Other English clubs Leeds United, Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday that were to have attended the Easter Road fixture would be in a position to come closer to his Bulgarian terms.

Looks unlikely now. Gutted, would have been signing of the season for me, but this offer looks like they never really intended to sign him at all and were just giving him a platform to be seen by other clubs.

That's if you believe everything you read in the paper.

We could afford to pay more then because we were doing better in cups and had bigger crowds, we can only spend what we can afford.

That said i'm always pretty sceptical about these stories, your only hearing part of whats on offer, i'm sure there'll be lots of other bonuses, incentives, add ons and signing on fees that'll take it to considerably more than £1400p/week.

Dissapointed, but not unexpected if he chooses to go elsewhere for bigger bucks.

Never really thought of that, and apparently the fee is wrong according to another thread I just read on here.

yeh i understand that but what ever happened to speculate to accumulate. we build a better squad to get back into the latter stages of the cups and back into the top 4 of the league.

and i know we have never been good at investing in the squad but after players like riordan stokes, miller, o'connor and ivan i thought were getting better.

Okay this is a quick calculation from me could be wrong(probably will be wrong)

Last year we spent £4,828,000 on wages a year, meaning we spent about £82,346 on wages a week, I don't know how many players that includes so these figures would mean nothing really.

EDIT Anywhere where it might tell you how much of the percentage is on playing staff?

Edit2 Didnt even have to bother working that out

I don't know what the basic pay is for the top earners but Hibs pay very decent win bonuses/ appearance fees, to the younger players in particular. I don't really want to mention figures but appearance fees almost double their pay packets and win bonuses are quite a healthy sum.



Having a guess here that the highest basic wouldn't be any more than 2K a week though?

this is the case, however i don't think this is a bad way of doing contracts -a good deal for both club/player (if your playing and winning)

I certainly know certain old firm players who aren't on top wages there, but once they receive appearance, win, goal, champo league bonus then some of the wages are staggering.

So we still dont pay that much.

[Elephant Stone]

If £1400 a week is what we've offered then that really is grim. Hopefully it's not true.

We pay what we can afford. CSKA pay him £10k a week (or £14k depending on the source) and have been reported to FIFA for not paying his transfer fee so it looks like they cant afford what they do pay.

I asked elsewhere but if they dont pay the transfer fee do Celtic get him back?

Sorry too upset you but I was trying a bit of humour i.e. win bonuses, dont cost much as we dont win that often lol

So is turnover coming DOWN or are wages going UP?

[frazeHFC]

Apparently Sheridan wants £2k a week. I am shocked if we are not offering that.

Yeah agreed, I've seen us do this before, we brought in the likes of Keith Wright, Crunchie, O'Neill, Darren Jackson, De La Cruz & most recently Stokes.

But I have a feeling you mean the time we spent a fortune on first division & below class players under Duffy, which led to a squad of 50 plus players, all getting wages & some cost hefty transfer fees. Somehow the blame for which was put on the likes of McLeish, Latapy & Sauzee, instead of the purchase of a mountain of dross. That episode was not an example of speculation, but sheer stupidity, which we are still paying for.

It was either on here or in the paper that apparently he wants £2k but we are only offering £1.5k.

true my friend but surely we learned the lessons from that time and can more accurately guess were the line between bust and speculation is.

Surely we could stump up an extra £500 a week? We really need to get a second striker in before the season starts.

That's what I mean't, surely if this was true we would stump up the extra £500 P/W that is needed.

[KeithTheHibby]

This thread is full of speculation, nothing more.

There is nobody on this board knows anything about how much players earn or what is offered, neither do the papers.

I think Sheridan will end at ER but only on a year long loan deal with Sofia still paying some of his wages.
