Just what I was thinking. Going to be the richest ex-Hibs player in history - a very rich young man.

But he missed out on a treble treble and games against Motherwell and St Johnstone next season.

I was going to elaborate, but I had to go out. My point was about the money on offer in the EPL. Money that SJM will now be earning.

I was talking to a friend who's son has just signed for Leeds United.

He's 16 and earns £230 per week basic. Had Leeds been promoted, that would have doubled.

However, it's his current terms in the championship that are mind boggling.

If he is called up to the reserve team squad, he gets a bonus of £250. If he is a used substitute, he gets £500 and if he starts, he gets £1000. He's 16 and this is the reserves.

If he ever gets a game for Leeds first team, he automatically gets a bonus of £25000! And that's per game.

There are also huge bonuses for points won and goals.

Let those figures sink in and then imagine what EPL players can earn.

When SJM signed for Villa the talk was about him earning £25k a week.

That will have multiplied several times now.

He won't be on a anything like 150k a week. That's just silly.

Agree. I'm sure Andy Robertson is on around 60k pw.

Obviously I don't know what he'll earn, but it'll be eye-wateringly high.

Man United were reported as paying a yearly AVERAGE wage of £6.5m a year. Paul Pogba alone earns £15m a year, plus he has a £31m sponsorship deal with Adidas. Barcelona are averaging £10m a year. Mental.

SJM won't be earning anywhere near that, yet, but Villa will need to multiply his championship salary considerably if they want to keep him.

I think that's probably right as far as his basic salary is concerned.

There's also bonuses for appearances, wins, points and goals etc.

I think it's no wonder footballers are coy about their earnings.

If he gives us one weeks wages we could get Griff back...

I've a feeling that Aston Villa will be giving us a lot more than that! 😁

Fair point. I'm sure I read recently that champions league bonuses are ridiculous.

Real Madrid players got £2m each last year for winning the final.

Liverpool players will share £7m if they beat Spurs, so roughly £500k pp.

Spurs bonus pot is £5m.

"Ross McCormack, who last played for villa in january 2017 and has been farmed out on loan to a few clubs will see his weekly wage rise to 70k/week for the remaining 12 months of his contract,

yep...SEVENTY grand/week due to big bonuses for promotion and a few other players as well"

Read that last night. Mental.

McGinns basic wage will not have multiplied several times by now, ridiculous suggestion. You think Villas wage bill has just tripled over night? Would be the worst run business in the world

So your pals son is 16 and has a £25k appearance fee per game for a Championship side? I find that very hard to believe. He’s got some agent if that’s the case though.

He's just signed a pro-contract so there's virtually no possibility that he'll a game in the near future, but the players who do, get £25k. That's what Leeds pay.

I was gobsmacked, but he assured me that was the structure.

They also get £10k a goal. The money is unbelievable.

Remember, Brandon Barker was earning £10k a week at Man City and he's never played for the first team. If he had, his appearance bonus would have been considerable.

Could just be a matter of time until Robertsons contract is opehed up and he gets a massive pay increase, the guys quality.

Yes, I agree that £150k a week was an excited exaggeration, but the Villa wage bill will rise significantly because of their promotion and good business or not, they can afford it.

Less than a year ago, an Egyptian billionaire invested in the club and now has a 55% shareholding.

They have a massive support and will sell out their 42000 stadium every week.

McGinn was their player of the year, he had 9 assists and scored 7 goals, one of which was goal of the season and one got them promoted.. Villa will have to chuck money at him if they want to stop one of the top 6 luring him.

I think he'd be amazing in a Man I shirt and I'm pretty sure that Ole already rates him.

It will increase 10/15%, not multiple times. Im sure McGinn will get a new deal, increasing his wages by 20/25%, not by 6 times.

No one has any idea if ''Ole'' rates him. I doubt United are releasing a better player in Ander Herrera to make way for McGinn

[J-C]

All players will have promotion clauses in their contracts it'll be standard procedure.

Scott McTominay is nowhere near as good and has managed 22 games for United this season so how many would John get?
