I doubt very much black is on anywhere near 2k per week.... He's rocking about in a 9 year old 3 series Beemer, if he was earning 6k a month after deductions and such like I would suspect he would be driving something more desireable than a 7k BMW....

Some footballers dont do the whole cliched flash car thing. Zouma had a wee VW golf.

2600

Same ball park.

I wondered if maybe £2200 in year 1, £2400 in year 2 and £2600 in year 3.

Some clubs (including us) give a rise at the start of each season.

[greenginger]

If the wages of their top earners are around £ 10,000 per month how do they rack up £ 8.5 million in wage costs ?

Can't see Black earning anything like that. Firstly, because he's not that good and secondly there's no chance he'd have been taking on painting jobs with an annual salary of over £1m.

Having said that, I've heard some stories (mainly on here) about jambo wages and the £35m+ debt has to be spent somewhere.

Crazy to think that top 4 premiership sides will have players on the bench that get paid more than our entire squad.

its not over 1 million pound though... its £500,000 a year, and i did concede that was not as much as 10 grand for black but defo for skacel...... my main argument was we offer well more than 2 grand a week.

No offence but you lost any chance of credibility with your initial post:

"i think we are able to offer beteween 4 and 6 thousand a player, and black and skacel would have been on i would imagine 10 grandish".

Ridiculous.

the problem with people like you is you dont want to hear these things because it doesnt comply with your opinion with our board and the money we pay on players, i did make a mistake and generalise my post and did take back the black statement, bottom line hearts pay well over the odds on players wages, thats why they cant afford to pay them now, there ticket sales which are in the millions and merchandise sales dont cover there players wages, thats why they cant pay them. we DO pay upto 6 grand on wages per week, so if hearts dwarf our wage bill what do they pay???

lost credibilty my arse!

Do you mean like our reported bid for Naismith when he was at Killie? Or Sheridan last summer who then went to St Johnstone?

Or Jim Goodwin who elected to stay at St Mirren in January?

I don't think the Naismith bid was ever publically spoken about by anyone employed by the club before, during or after it was made. If it was ever made at all. I vaguely remember, a few weeks after he was sacked, John Collins speaking about how he was one the players he had suggested to the board.

Sheridan played as a trialist so it was fairly obvious we were considering signing him so public comment could not really be avoided.

Can't remember if what was said about Jim Goodwin by Hibs employees but the player himself stated publically that he had been for talks with Hibs so again no choice but to comment publically.

[SteveHFC]

Has he made his decision yet?

[Jim44]

This Jambo player's on £3K a week. No he's not he's on £5K a week. Nah he's on £10K a week. Hibs pay £2K a week tops. Nah, they pay K4.5K a week plus bonuses.................. yada yada yada. I'm amazed, no, amused at the intimate knowledge of player's wages a lot of folk on this board have.

[JohnStephens91]

When we first signed Rob Jones he was on £1500 per week with bonuses on top of it. My dad who was working at the time for a bank (not saying which one) dealt with his call and got a 2 week processing job done in 10 minutes for him. Obviously his wage would have increased each season to something a bit more deserving of a club captain. However I believe that we must be paying in the region of £2500 to £3000 for highest earners at the team, partly because of the financial report document that detailed all the clubs in the worlds money spent on wages.

Be careful with what you post on the internet (if you don't mind my wee bit of advice!).

A few years ago we had a Hibee fan bank employee who literally released a number of Hibs salary payments to a world wide audience - and ended up in court!

I think it would have been Gross, he was earning £6000 a month, which equals £1500 a week.

Mate I dont think Hibs have paid 6k a week since the days of Latapy and Sauzee. When the Sky deal went tits up the first time round, they type of wages got reduced big time. No one knows the actual figures but its not hard to roughly work out what a player earns when you break down the x amount annual wage bill devided by x amounts of first team players. Obviously some will be higher than others. Think O'Connor and Stokes might have been the only 2 near 4k a week over the last 5 year, Deeks not far behind. The Stokes deal was a win win for both parties.

Black was no way near one of their top earners. Beattie, Elliot, Webster, Skacel, Zaliukas and Tauil were all on bigger wages.

yeah i agree with the stokes thing, i seem to recall someone saying on the radio when riordan came back that he was the highest paid player in scotland outside the old firm, i also stated we pay UPTO 6 grand i am well aware we dont pay everyone this amount.....my orignal argument was that we would not be deterred by someone wanting 2 grand a week, and as far the latapy, sauzee era, it was just as mcleish came in that we started the wage cap, which has went up since then, if they where on that kind of money then.........

Couldn't argue the others but Beattie was on £1500pw, he could have signed for Luton for a lot more but he felt SPL would be a better shop window.

When he came up to Scotland he was looking to be signing on at Ibrox at the same time as Cousin.

I think your getting mixed up mate. You will be lucky if we are paying half of what we were paying when Ginger Judas was in charge. Back then the sky deal was huge. We could afford to chuck 4k-7k a week on players like Sauzee, Latapy and Zatelli and so on. The sky deal crashed and left the clubs in a huge mess. We had to slash the wage bill big time and we were paying peanuts for a year till the Setanta deal came in. That also went tits up and although we got a new deal with sky its still very small, add a decrease in the number of fans coming through the gates then its no wonder we have had to slash the wage bill. The thing is, thats no excuse for us being rubbish. We pay argubaly the 4th or 5th biggest wages in the league and we are still rank.

. Don't know what he's on wage wise but Aunt Sally is driving about in a right old pile of kite at the moment. I'm not to clued up on cars but it's a dark blue/blackish colour Merc or BMW. I was totally shocked when I saw him in it as it's totally ****ed by the looks of it.

Has he not been managing that now dead club without a wage?

If he gets fit and its reasonable terms he would be a great foil for Doyle but would imagine the fact he has talked about it has prob ruled out a move.

I saw him at the airport in Florida on Sunday. He looks like he could be a wee bit short of match fitness.

I'd take him on a low basic with bonuses for appearances etc though.

We've got rid of O'Connor and Murray...I suppose Kevin Kyle could be like a 2for1 to replace them. He's a strange looking immobile forward (that's Gaz covered) who is always injured (and that's Murray).

A fit Kevin Kyle would be a good signing, the fact he's had a lot of injuries shouldn't effect his game too much as he never had any pace in the first place.

We've not had a striker able to hold the ball up and bring midfielders into the game since Killen and we're crying out for a forward like that.

The fact that he has had a lot of injuries mean we shouldnt touch him with a bargepole ..
