No way was doyle on an average salary of over £20k per week. In 2006 for example the average championship salary was £3k pw.in his first spell his wages would have cost us at least £8 million over that period - he was the poorer partner compared to Hughes
Mccallister as a player when he returned was excellent - he was poor in his first spell so his overall contribution was not great
Doyle wasn’t a championship player and that’s where he played mostly for us
Hang on…Michael Doyle was on £80k a week?!??Worth noting that Doyle's £80k pw came about because each time a club came in for him, instead of letting him go the club gave him a pay rise to get him to stay. So not only we valued him, so did those other clubs.
Central midfield was the least of our worries during those times.

To conclude, I value Mark Robbins opinion of Michael Doyle over Grendel's opinion.
He was on about £18 k
What?
There was an article in the telegraph that referred to the clubs spiralling wage bill and that when Doyle signed his new contract he had a massive pay hike
I think the basic salary was something like £8 to £10 a week but there was big add ons for appearances and win bonuses and it quoted something like £16 or £18k a week when it was all added in
Jailbird King will be Cov's top earner
King's wage would eclipse that of Michael Doylewww.mirror.co.uk
This says 8k, still pretty extortionate for what he was
The telegraph article at the time said there was a player - assumed to be Doyle - who was on a high basic plus extras which effectively was doubling his salary
our wage bill was very high - even in 2004 it was what £9 million?
Factor in wage growth at todays levels that’s a big wage bill
Even on the basic no bonus salary it’s £13k a week now

You are presuming the £8k a week salary was basic (it might have been £8k inclusive of bonuses for all we know) and that the Mirror article was accurate, which is a leap of faith in itself. Even so it doesn't add up to him being paid anywhere near £8m.
im talking about the total wages over his career
also given he’s supposed to be some saintly figure didn’t he say when he went to Leeds it was a far better and bigger club than coventry And wanted to stay?
It was actually £120k pwHang on…Michael Doyle was on £80k a week?!??
Didn't he get rid of him once we ended up in League One...? Therefore, doesn't Robins actually rate him *worse* as a footballer than grendel does?To conclude, I value Mark Robbins opinion of Michael Doyle over Grendel's opinion.
It was actually £120k pw
Robins, and Doyle himself, rightly recognised that Doyle couldn’t match the progression of the club as a player. Robins also recognises that Doyle, in both spells, was a great servant to the club.
Get the impression that sort of thing happens a lot with Doyle.Doyle and Viveash had a fall out that’s why he left

Sparked out Christian Burgess at halftime when he was at Pompey.
He offered something at league 2 level…never really too sure what he did when he was with us first time around.
If I remember rightly he criticised players who try and ingratiate themselves to the fans. Not sure how he’d get on with our current team!

That’s right! Maybe he’s learned to pick his battles?At least Mr Hardcase didn’t have his teeth knocked out this time
I seem to remember he was on around £8-10K after the interest from Birmingham.No way was doyle on an average salary of over £20k per week. In 2006 for example the average championship salary was £3k pw.
