I know he did have offers from English lower league teams and it was complications to do with Covid that sent him up here. Sad truth is that even most League 2 teams down south will be able to offer more money than Saints can. Excellent player though, an upgrade on Magennis who hasn’t been missed at all due to Doyle-Hayes performances. Take it you haven't heard of the wage cap in English league 1 and 2, that's why he's here in the first place !!! I have heard of it but I assumed that would still be above our maximum wage. What is the wage cap if you don’t mind me asking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the wage cap if you don’t mind me asking?Google says...On 7th August, clubs in League One and League Two voted to introduce wage caps for the 2020/21 season. Player costs – including wages, bonuses (apart from cup and promotion-related bonuses), taxes and agents fees – will be capped at £1.5m per season in League Two and £2.5m in League One 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After bonuses, agents fees etc I don’t think we are a million miles away from competing with that (in my simplehead) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to guess I would say the highest earner at St Mirren this season will be on £1800-£2000 per week, I heard when Steven Thompson was playing he was the clubs highest earner at £2500 a week but don’t think anyone will be on that amount now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate is good friends with Thommo's dad. I seem to remember him telling me that Thommo signed for us completely on the premise that he was a supporter of the club and that he had made his money elsewhere. He was on £1000 a week.

In my head most of our players would be on 1 - 1,500 a week with maybe a couple of the top earners slightly more.I do however, have absolutely nothing to base this on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 A mate put a link in a WhatsApp group about wages but I can't find it. It said Obika is the highest earner at £1k/week, Erhahon lowest at £300 although that would have been before he signed his new contract. All speculation of course because very few people will know the true figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I imagine you pay similar to us? And our chairman had a moan about us paying a couple of players 6 figure annual salaries a few seasons back. ~£2k a week takes you to around that figure, so presumably that's around the highest we can pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
