Quick question for a few people on here. How do you find out what wages players are on?

Everytime someone posts about a player they often say a wage that they are on. And its not a guess, the way its put. No no, It's like its gospel 100%. In reality not one of us on here know what any of these players are on.

not sure tbh tinted

players are regularly quoted as being on xyz a week but where’s the figure coming from? contracts are confidential between club and player/ agent. prob just papertalk

a close family friend is an agent and never discloses what players are on, but said agents used to get a lump sum for a transfer / negotiating a new contract but now tend to get a cut of whatever weekly wage was negotiated

still i’d imagine sturridge is still way out our wage bracket!

To be fair you can take educated guesses from time to time . Sturridge for example you know that with the way wages are down south and the size of club he was at was always going to be 100k +.

Defo agree on an educated guess but there is people stating it as fact lol. Like roofe is on 10k a week! Anyway onwards and upwards.

Wages are open secret in media. There wages are let loose by club because wages paid by club are PR asset to club. Shows club intentions, financial health of club, club objectives etc etc.

Players wages are very open to debate, there is never a fixed amount so whatever amount is ‘reported in the media’ shouldn’t be thought of the way we think of our wages. I know a player that was at ibrox during the Mcleish period. His ‘wage’ was a basic of around 5k a week no matter if he played or not. This doubled any week he played. Then on top of that there was win and goal bonuses. So what he earned weekly could change vastly. So when you see players wages being reported I’m guessing it will probably always be the top end figure that’s ‘quoted’ (if accurate at all) .
