So in actualy fact we know no players' wages ever then.
Well... apart from one particularly unremarkable central midfielder, who did indeed quote his wages to me once...
33 players in the relegation squad, not counting the academy players adds up to £7M at the average, so it doesn't take a huge hike to push it up to £10M.
That sort of bill was not unusual for a club in the Championship, you just need a few on inflated wages and you are there (Freddie Eastwood).
Also how many managers was the club paying for that season, I think there was a fair old turnover.
didnt Eastwood leave his wage slip in a skip once ?
I think Kevin Kyles wages were also quoted in a court case
@ stupot07....I once said that the sale of Turner to Cardiff was "Reported" as being £750k and got "Slammed" by Grenduffy and a few of his "Chums" What is the difference between YOU saying the same and me? Double standards maybe?
@ Norman......You highlight my post stating a "Direct quote" from either the "PLAYER HIMSELF" or the "Manager" Now! if you can get this "particularly unremarkable central midfielder" to tell us all what wage he was on...Then I'll believe you too............I'm very good friends with Roger Gibbins, ex Norwich, Spurs, Cardiff, and Cambridge player. I know what wage he was on at Cardiff, but I'll never disclose it for a couple of reasons. I wouldn't betray his trust, nor would I want to.....Unless you're Grenduffy, and either lying out of your backside, or just being a "Bighead" Your, or anybody's wage should only be known to yourself and your boss.
I know what Juan Pablo Angel paid for his car Insurance. Woo hoo.
If you know a player and what he's on, wouldn't it make a far better contribution to this conversation if you didn't mention his name and just gave the level he plays at and a figure?
One of Ranson's later signings, who didn't come with any prior reputation to speak of and wasn't really a first team regular, claimed he was on £8k pw...
So, you're telling me everything Ranson said wasn't strictly true?
And you wait until now to let me know this?
Resigned to losing Murphy, City’s development director Steve Waggott said: “Joe was one of the Championship players in our squad who had a reasonably good deal at the club, so I think he and his agent are looking at other options and seeing if they are more attractive than staying another year or so with us.”
Why hasn't Murphy gone then? It's been a couple of weeks since the "talks" so I would have thought that was more than enough time to make up his mind.
My guess would be that his contract is until 30th June, so City are paying him at present. This does seem to happen, especially in lower leagues. The movements will no doubt start in July.
Could be. Good luck to him whatever he decides to do. Good keeper.

Yep, it'll be one of his last contracts and he's got every right to go for the most he can for his family. He's been classy while he's been here too, never looked like his head was turned. He's done us proud considering he had huge shoes to fill, good luck Joe.
I agree with that, done his job and acted professionally. No surprise he is leaving though. He is one player I think it would have been straight forward to hang on to. I understand he was prepared to take a reduction in wages, which suggests our budget really is slender.
