Hampden Diehard Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if our top players were on that.I know most of our players are on £250ish a week. I think only the younger ones would be on under £100.Adds up to quite a hefty outlay on wages alone.As a matter of interest, how many of your first team are locals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 5 regular starters and 3/4 youth players as subs. I’m including those who live locally not all are native to Moray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Graft Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 At least 1 East Stirling player on £400-£500/week. His previous league club could come nowhere near this figure and his manager told him to move on for the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 19 hours ago, Hampden Diehard said: I've known QP youth players to have agents. I've known several youth players have their careers stunted and indeed effectively ended because the agent wanted a quick payday and thus wanted to move them on from playing every week for the likes of Queens Park to sitting twiddling their thumbs on £500 a week in an Old Firm 7th XI. By the time they are then 21 and released by the big team the hunger and passion is gone and they invariably drop into the likes of the Juniors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I don"t have a high regard for agents and I can"t imagine I'm alone in that. Leeches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy of the rovers Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Indeed minimum wage means £40-50 isn’t on but there are some (not just at QP) amateurs who only get expenses and they have to be based on real figures to be legal. These are most likely to be fringe/reserve players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 What hours count as minimum wage? Just 4hrs Training and 3hrs on Matchday. Or does that include travelling time etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Albion squad, I would think your budget will be closer to the lowest that the highest, I may be wrong. Cowdenbeath will be higher end, from some insider knowledge i know this is true. Cove have a huge budget and will win the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
