Wages

[sevenzero]

Talking about the chances of us getting Mcpake in permanently with a couple of fellow hibbies and has turned into a bit of a debate on wages that we pay , was wondering what people reckon have been our highest wages the past couple of years, one mate thinks weve paid a few players 4-5k, stokes etc., I reckon our max wage is about 1.5k, made more appealing with big win bonuses?

We must have saved fortunes, not having to pay much in win bonuses.....

[Brooster]

Sevenzero is almost spot on although the win bonuses are not big.

I know for a fact that one of the young guys in our team who many discuss on here was on £800 per wk 2 seasons ago so i reckon some of the squad will be on a lot more than that

... they should think themselves LUCKY..

.. The money is needed for the SUITS.. you know pushers of the pen,
counters of the (diminishing beans).. there's a squadron of those folks
to support... players? players? they should think themselves lucky..
no certificates in business.. or marketing.. or tashes.. come ON
they don't even have a TASHE amongst them, damn their well-paid oily hides!!!

Does anyone think we got the likes of Stokes, Miller, De Graaf, Riordan and O'Connor on a max of £1500 per week? We pay better than that at the higher end.

I was told last season O'Connor signed for much less than £1500 a week, and the guy that told me was pretty certain his information was correct.

The ones in bold we did not, the others we did. Reluctantly I will have to agree with BH on the O'Connor one!!

We did - but we no longer do (that includes GOC).

Our cash position is poor, we have incurred a heavy loss also

Was EDG not supposed to be on around £3,000 p/w? If guys like Stokes, Riordan and O'Connor were only on £1,500 p/w i'm sure they received large signing on fees.

That'll be right

Think there is quite a bit of mythology/kidology about our wages. I remember at the time of the Thomson/Broony speculation their original agent was on real radio and explicitly stated that Hibs did not have a wage 'ceiling' and that both players were on more than 2k a week.
At the time of the better Sky deal and when our wages to turnover ratio exceed the recomended percentage Latapy, i believe, was on 5k a week and Le God's 2nd deal was approx 7k per week.

I'd guess G O'C would have been on a 2k basic minimum.
I know for sure that Kujabi is on £800 per week plus appearances and win bonuses (hope he didn't rely on them) which could have virtually doubled his basic (1.5 k).

So less than two night's coke? Wow. No wonder he allegedly tried a bit of insurance fraud as well.

I think everyone's "cash position" is poor TQM.

Its our "league position" thats the cause for concern.

I don't think that the money on offer was a factor in GOC signing for us, in fact I think it was completely irrelevant. When you are trying paint a picture, to "authourity" figures, " In gainfull employment" is always a biggie.

O'Connor will obviously have certain bonuses to add on, but the basic wage without them is pretty poor for a footballer, but very decent for someone who needed a club to get his career back on track.

The info on this link would suggest the average 1st team player earned just over £3200 a week a couple of seasons ago - unsure if that includes bonuses but I'd imagine it does. If that was the average then Id expect it to be much the same, maybe a wee bit less now. Top earners maybe on about £3500-£4000.

If RP managed to get GOC for £800 p/w he should be congratulated

Someone posted a table from another website of SPL wages in the 2010-11 season and the hibs figure was the same as that i think

That table doesn't look right to me. According to our latest accounts the total wages bill in both of the years ending 31 July 2010 and 2011 was £4.26m, so to pay an average wage of £172,728 we would have about 24 players. However the accounts also show approximately 100 employees (including coaches, youth players, admin, shop etc). Consequently a fair proportion of that £4.26m does not relate to first team players, which brings down the average substantially.

Dont think he was on that. His lawyer this week in court described him as a high earner. So £40k a year is not high earnings
