Wilson was on £1600/w? (1 Viewer)

[Deleted member 4232]

Was at a wedding a few weeks ago, and a family friend is close with the Wilson family. They said he was on 1600 a week here, which sounds about right as he was essentially third string going into last season? He is now on around 9000/w at the cherries.

He's playing in a higher league
Getting paid over five times the amount he was being paid here
We get at least £2m for a striker who could've potentially been a one season wonder

Everyone's a winner.

That was reinvested in the team to bring in a quality spine to enable us to challenge at the top of the table

Dont forget he signed a new deal here, so I wonder if the £1600 per week was the new deal, either way, you can see why he moved. Best of luck to him.

Everyone's a winner? I do hope that was a joke?

 

[Ashdown]

Was that the Royal 'We' ?? Still very early days but going to be interesting { soul destroying } to see just how SISU's reinvestment pans out !

On a more positive note I still think that any success this side could achieve will rest heavily on Nouble and Johnson.........that certainly showed on Saturday and they won't be missing every week.

That's an entirely different point to what was said.

We got more than enough money for a L1 player who may have only been a one season wonder.

I don't understand how we are a winner from the wilson sale? Remind me how many goals we have scored this season compared to the same time last season. I think wilson by now had scored more goals then our entire team this season.

It could've been so so different, that's the point I'm making.

Obviously in hindsight I'd have loved to have kept him here. But was there a guarantee of that? Of course not.

That kind of thinking won't get us promoted will it?

As quinny said, no ambition for the club selling a 20 goals a season striker. Clearly they sold wilson to cover the loss of leaving the Ricoh. If we have any chance of getting out of this league we need to keep our best players. Otherwise will be a mid table league 1 club for many more seasons

If he'd not found his form like he did the fans (I'd guarantee) would be moaning that he wasn't sold. SISU can't win can they.

I'm sorry but we had to sell him. If he was a proven striker then yeah I could understand but for someone who's under the age of 24 it was too risky to keep himhere. Likewise I wouldn't be happy to match what Bournemouth would've offered as that is ludicrous.

 

[shmmeee]

Am I the only one thinking £83k a year in effectively your first year in the job is ridiculous?

He wouldn't have been offered anything by Bournemouth if we weren't trying to sell him, that's a bit of a red herring.

Who is "we", surely "we" will see it reinvested into the team to enable a promotion push ?

he is now on £468k a year, crazy isnt it

Footballs fucked. You'd earn less running a national institution.

Unless they are on International duty! they miss the Crewe game in October

agreed. what makes it worse is that you look at Baker, thrown out by a League one club and he was reported to be on near that as well !

 

[The Lurker]

That's football and I think Norwich also interested in him so maybe that's where the 9k wages come from. Skyblue91 - sometimes that the risk you take. Teams who get promoted, Norwich, Leeds, Southampton etc... All kept there main strikers. Lambert and holt being the examples.

 

[Covstu]

To be honest i was suprised he signed a new contract, i thought he would have been out the door before that. We got a decent amount for him that is true but you need a 20 goal a season striker to get out of this league and we just lack firepower at present (and also creativity!).

As for one season wonder - he has already made a good start to his Bournmouth career so i think there is more to come from the lad.

No. 83k a year playing football in the third tier no matter what your level of experience is ridiculous.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

Indeed....especially as that £83K was probably only his "basic" wage....

Add on appearance bonus, goal bonuses & sponsorship deals/cars etc. & he would easily be in the region of £150K per year.....

not bad for kicking a bag of wind around a field....

 

[ccfcway]

He has scored 5 in 5 games in championship

Our 5 strikers have scored 7 between them in double the amount of games in a lower league.

whats Tim Fisher got to do with this ?

As I'll say again: we didn't know he would do well. Its a risk and £2m+ for a League One player at the age and the circumstance I keep saying was too much of a good offer to turn down.

I shall point you in the direction of Cody McDonald - 26 the season he had at Gills, we bought him and the season after he scored 4.

 

[davebart]

and hence why CCFC get 10K paying £22 a game and not 30K paying £10.

 

[shmmeee]

Just a back of the fag packet calculation, but I was wondering what wages should be if ticket prices were reasonable (say £10 adults £5 concessions) and supported the entire year wage budget.

Take an average gate of 10k to make the maths easy and an average ticket cost of £4 to be conservative. That £40k x 23 games = £920k a year. Divide that by say 20 players and you're looking at an average of £46k a year (just under £900/week) and that's on a fairly large attendance for this league. Most teams would be close to half that.

Then TV and sponsorship money goes to paying the rest of the clubs costs.

Shows how far off we are from sustainable as a game.

And as Schmeee says, football is fucked. Way too detached from the ordinary working man that is expected to fork out hard earned money to help pay for these ridiculous wages. The whole SISU fiasco, footballers lack of loyalty and the state of the game has made many very cynical about modern day football. Half the time they spend cheating, diving and time wasting............it's poor value !

I wasn't good enough to be a pro, I had to pay subs every week at my level. I'd have bitten someone's hand off to be paid £46 k per annum to play football for 10 months of the year. I don't buy into all that short career clap trap either, not many people in the real world have a job for life do they ?

True, but most people dont spend their entire youth focused on just one thing, once the potential is spotted they are focused solely on that and everything else suffers, when everyday jo is just getting into his career IDK say 18-22 most footballers have invested 10yrs+ of their life to their career for very little return. The wages are whacked as it stands but how many normal people would put so much in that early for little return?

If you look at the Dutch academies, many of the up and coming players have to focus on education at the same time, that way if they don't make the top grade they have something to fall back on.

 

[SkyBlueSid]

I just find it so depressing that a twopenny-ha'penny little club like Bournemouth can attract our best players and pay them more than we ever could.

How times have changed, and how far we have fallen.
