Transfer rumours, targets & new signings

[valefan16]

It depends on context of wages, I’d be surprised if we pulled in Wilson on that as Salford were paying ridiculous wages (look at Class of 92 full time and Wellens is stunned by their wages).

I imagine maybe a base wage but various incentives on top such as appearance fees, goal bonus etc to make it up. Which is a good model if so as encourages better performances rather than “here is £4k” and a player knows he’s paid that regardless of effort.

If you read that site last season players like Worrall had a higher wage last season and we had a number on £2.4k so who knows.

I did read somewhere, can't remember where, but do remember that it was an authoritative source (interview with DC?), that the top wage at the Vale is £1875 pw. I'm guessing bonuses are on top of that. 

I thought it was Colin Garlick who stated that

Probably out of our reach too but is there a 6 month loan deal for Matty Taylor that could be done?

Scored goals for fun at Rovers under DC (61 in 118 games).

Hes 31 and only played 4 times for Oxford in league 1 this year. He signed a 3 year deal in 2020 so a cheeky 6 month loan spell to fire his old boss to promotion could be just right kick start his career.

One can but dream.

Billy Bodin at Oxford as well and has hardly played. Was brilliant at Bristol Rovers

Quote

“I’ve had so much adversity in football, picking myself up, taking Rovers up, that’s a helluva thing. Oxford took four years to get out [back into EFL]. Luton took five years. Wrexham are there 13 years, Stockport are there [since 2011-12]. We did it year one and on a £900,000 budget. It’s crazy the money now in the Conference. Stockport had a player on £3,000 a week. Solihull Moors put a player on £3,000 a week.”

In League Two, at Vale, Clarke has cut the wage bill. “The top wage here is £1,850,” he says. “Me and ‘Flickers’ [David Flitcroft], the director of football, we’re trying to build an even wage cap, £1,000 to £1,850.”

Bonuses aren’t shared out of a pot. Players get bonuses every month for their goals, clean sheets or win bonuses. The only bonus that would come at the end of the season is if they went up and the squad gets a share based on appearances. 

That's not what was said in the interview! It was mentioned to show how good the team spirit is.

Wilson hasn’t come here for £1875 pw. 

How much then? Pretty sure it was quoted that we had done unbelievable business getting him here for that - and well done to the recruitment team?

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm not desperate enough to call him a liar!

Hasn't he been injured recently? Which would reduce his playing time!
