Birmingham City weekly wage £1mill+ !! (1 Viewer)

[EleanorRigby]

Was told recently that the Blue noses WEEKLY players wage bill is over a million a week, thought thats an exageration then i heard Nicholi Zigic is on over £70k a week whether thats right or not i don't know. but if any club feels happy to pay a cart horse anything like £70ka week they deserve to go bust.

They probably do pay extortionate wages like this TBF! He was signed on Prem wages. Even with a, lets say 10-20% wage drop upon relegation, players like Zigic will still be earning a packet!

And all this being funded by a fraudster! Hope the league take em to the cleaners! Wont happen though!

Your right, even portsmouth have people being paid £25k a week, teams like that don't deserve to stay in business in this league IMO

Wasn't there a couple of Pompey players on £80k, and i think that Mullans is on over £30k someone, a Portsmouth fan mentioned it last week on the radio, i mean come on he's as ordinary a players you can get.

And strange enough, clubs like Pompey, e.g. do not seem to be able to learn from their past...

You might be right, I was under estimating, in any case I'll not be too sorry for either team if they go into admin given what there paying players.

I dont know how relevant you think this is but the aforementioned donkey Zigic did score in the Cup final for them last pear against arsenal which Brum won. The result of that win was prize money and europe which brings in more money.................... just a thought :slap:

Wouldn't begrudge Blues their moment of glory, but the whole problem with player wages in this country is ordinary players are being paid life changing money every month

Bluenose in peace here.
We offloaded the majority of our players over the summer and excluding Ziggy, they were the highest paid players at the club. There is no way we pay over a million a week for players wages.
Zigic was on £55k a week prior to our relegation, something that was widely broadcasted to Blues fans. I'm not sure whether Ziggy actually had a wage drop clause in his contract, either way he's not on £70k. BCFC published our prize money from the Carling Cup and Europa League and it wasn't nearly as much as some expected.

What was really wrong with the Portsmouth situation was that the administrator was i/c when they signed Kitson & Lawrence at over 20k a week. He said it was acceptable money in order for the club to be competitive in the Championship. Try telling that to all the small traders that didn't get their money!
