He couldn't make the finances work. Shame because he scored bucket loads last season.
Agreed. I've got a few pals that could have made the grade as lower league pros, but at the time had decent jobs and earned £150-£300 a game playing a good level of semi pro. 3 games in a week and its potentially £900 in their pocket.League 2 average wage is about £800, if he has a job on £400 - 500 a week and then a bit for playing Semi Pro it isn't worth uprooting a family for.
It is and it isn't.A complete non story

Decent non league strikers will also get a premium so will get a lot more than £150-300 a game plus goal £100+ per goal. For all we know he could have a £40k+ pa full time job. His wife night also have a decently paid job too.Agreed.

Why is it a non story? I think it's quite interesting that a player like that is better off part time. Whilst at the same time I understand it from our point of view. I wouldn't want us chucking good money at a player that is a risk. It's a shame for the guy that the finances are what they are. Fair play to him for making the choice he did too.A complete non story

Jack Finch turned down £800 a week for Barrow.It was too much travelling.He is now apparently going to play for his local side Brackley town for £600 a weekIt is and it isn't.
Andy Brown the ex Nuneaton player is on £800 at Brackley or Bracknell town.
It's a choice some non league players face, whether to chance it or stick with the solid job, then we hear Nuneaton are able to offer more to one of our kids.
Said it a few times, I can see our current level and possibly the one above reverting to part time status.

Belief if your own ability must come in to it as well. Lets face it nobody is signing with a L2 club hoping it will be the peak of their career. If you believe you can get to Championship or PL level then you'd happily take a pay cut for a year or two.
As a decent non league player you can earn best part of £250-300 a week on top of your wages! Scoring 45 goals in a season you'd think he'd be at the higher end of the spectrum. I think Kev Thornton is on about £500 a week at Cov Utd.
He leaves his job and it goes belly up at City say, then what? Hope he can walk into another £35k a year job?

Lad I work with plays for Walsall Wood. Same league. He's a CH and gets £150 for starting on the bench!Exactly, it would be a massive risk. It would need to be a massive difference in money to be able to do it, or a young lad with no kids etc.
Thornton is on £500 a week at that level? Madness.

At 28, he obviously hasn't done enough in the past to break into the big time. While he's done well recently in non-leauge, I'm surprised no other club have tried to snap him up on decent money if there is potential to have a decent striker on the books. Missed the boat perhaps?

Fair enough, I thought the motive of posting it was to kick the club in the nuts for not offering enough money.why ?
I think its interesting

Yeah they have to be fair.Think most of the replies on here have been pretty realistic. It's after some spinning it will go that way.
