Torfason Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 On 17/03/2021 at 08:25, coprolite said: I remember reading an interview with Charlie Nicholas saying he signed for us because we were offering £4k a week, which was more than Arsenal offered to keep him. In today's money, that's over £11k. I'd be astonished if we paid anyone anything like that today. That was before we splurged in the expectation of tv money, it cost buttons to get in to the ground, and our crowds weren't notably bigger, if at all. Was that sort of wage normal for that time? And how on earth could we afford it then but not now? Even St Mirren signed Victor Munoz and Stevie Archibald and allegedly paid them massive wages or Guni from Rapid Vienna and Thomas Stickroth from Bayern Uerdingen. Football in the 90’s was mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was simply illustrating a point, not meant to be taken literally. If both played at home on the same day they would still draw good crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocular Patdown Required Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 No idea of the specifics but I'd assume Mulumbu, Lafferty, Broadfoot, Burke, Dicker, possibly Power will be Killie's top earners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The days of County lobbing £3-5k a week at random shite is long gone, nobody will be on more than £2k- if even that now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you guys got Mullin off of us he'd mentioned that he had quadrupled his wage. Even with us offering him a deal as we went up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalposts are higher for both us and Caley to get central belt lads up here more often than not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
