For 3rd tier footballers and you wonder why the club or football more generally is fucked.

This is interesting (albeit a couple of years old) - shows how the trickle down effect of Premier League money doesn't happen, yet the trickle down of wage demands does.

It's basic pay as well, not including appearance or tying up shoes properly bonuses.

The numbers represent basic pay; wages typically increase by 50 to 100 per cent with appearance money and bonuses.

It also includes anybody with a pro contract, including younger players on smaller contracts.

Interesting but I would take those figures with a pinch of salt as the reported average UK full time salary in 2009/2010 was £24900 as opposed to the £34112 listed in the table which throws doubts as to the other figures quoted.
