How much do the Vale players earn?

[Staffsoatcake]

Some ex Vale player on Radio Stoke saying the present players cant afford to put petrol in their cars.

[u2oxeterstokie]

Because they earn nothing

[stokiejoeofalsager]

my mate says one player was on 10,000 a week . then one on 4,000 a week. then 2,000 a week and 1,000 a week for the rest of the first team. obviously not now because they aren't getting paid are they ;D

[foxxy]

I imagine not a lot. They will have a mortgage and bills like the rest of us. I know i couldnt go without being paid for a month.

[mystokebadge]

Proberley between £800 and £3000 and if one is on £12000 i would imagine pretty soon they will be trying to get him off the wage bill

[PotterLog]

Somebody posted a table of professional footballers' average earnings recently. Whilst in the Prem the figure was obviously in the millions, League 2 footballers were only just above the national average.

I doubt Vale have ever got even close to paying anyone 10k a month joe, never mind a week.

[stokie25]

according to ovf and their official site, they will go into Administration on Friday after a hearing at the High Court in Birmingham

I have heard several times that their highest paid are on roughly a grand a week.

[borat]

Adam Yates the right back is on 50 grand a year.

Millionaires would struggle with current petrol prices, they are utterly ridiculous

absolute Tosh!

[eddyclamp]

If they don`t like playing football they can always go welding at JCB

[padders01]

The Sentinel reported that the monthly wage bill was £180k

That included all non playing staff as well I assume

[Ayupshag]

Wouldn't pay the useless fuckers in buttons

Recent report (oct 2011) shows the average wages for each division.

The new figures show that:
Average Premier League wages have reached £22,353 a week - before lucrative bonuses - or £1.16million a year.
Average Championship earnings are £4,059 a week (£211,068 a year), less than a fifth of players one division above.
In the bottom division, League Two, their weekly pay of £747 is not much more than the national average.
League Two earnings are also 30 times smaller than those in the Premier League.

From £100 per week for a first year professional up to £1200 for the highest earners. They are just as needy for their monthly wage as anyone else. An average League two wage is £750 per week, not anywhere near the Premier League average of £20k per week.

€ 747 actually.

Not a lot of money for sure. I'm certain if most employess didn't get paid for several weeks they'd be in the do do's.

[pickins]

. . . £747 is the national average wage? F&*k me where am I going wrong!

I was going to say living in Stoke but clearly not!

I heard that one of Vale's players didn't go to Accrington because the club couldn't guarantee to pay his petrol money for the journey from his home.

Anyone else hear anything similar?

Point of principle?

[stokie25]

poor principle though March....wasn't like he had to fund his way to the Nou Camp (although i believe that might be coming up )

[Stokie Mcpot]

I have it under good authority from one of the vale board members, that most of them are, in fact, illegal immigrants and therefore it does not matter if they are paid ;D

Mickey Adams himself said it in his interview on Rad Stoke on Saturday. The player was in Sheffield I believe.

And what a depressing interview it was too! We don't have time to pity the lower echelons of the league, spoiled my journey home, he did

Well i work nights for that much (£300-£400) and me and the missus and our 2 kids get by ok. If its really that tough for them to get by then i suggest they size down to terraced house and a nice cheap family car. Or the alternative is to turn semi-pro and get a real job as well and for them to start living in the real world! Oh and im losing my fucking job in 5 weeks as well!
