Nouble's on 10k a week? Holy fuck.

Is there a link for that?

That's what caught my eye. Nicked it from another forum so not sure of a link or sauce, sorry.

Boa Morte and Dyer on 70K?

Jhaaaaaaaaaahahahaha

Luis Boa Morte on £70,000? Wow.

Thats disgusting

Mido - £1,000

overpaid!

Oh yeah didn't Mido just say he didn't care about money he just wanted to play and prove himself?

Gabbidon £50,000 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
I saw this on the MIllwall forum aswell

surprised green isn't on more.and gabbidon on 50 grand a week?!?!?!
mental

That explains a lot.I think he's been playing with his wallet in his shorts...

Boa Morte -  £70k???

NOUBLE - £10K??????????????????????????

Hines - £400   :D

I hope we aren't paying even a %age of Nouble's wages.

Nothing really unexpected, but seeing it in black and white shows how completely screwed up top flight football is, absolute madness.

I would hope no more than a couple of grand.

A couple of grand?! Our top earners are on no more than £5k. I'd be surprised if it was as high as that to be honest.

Danny Gabbidon - £50k?!  WTF?

A few observations...

 - for an 'official' document all these figures look suspiciously nice and round, e.g. 10k a week, 5k a week, not £10,433 a week - are we sure this isnt compiled by some mates up a pub ?
 - How can Zola earn less than some players, that is crazy
 - We all knew the players/managers etc are on crazy money, but there is noone on here less than 100k a year.....look at the gk coach for example, on £156k a year or thereabouts, thats more than the prime minister, all politcians, doctors, dentists, most MD's etc. Wrong, surely...

Most managers earn less than their players- do you reckon Ancelloti's on more than Terry?

You would hope so to be honest for football's sake!

this is the best advertisement danny gabidons agent could have wished for.

He took a massive pay cut to join West Ham. Think he was on £70k before.

I would of yes, just seems wrong the other way around.

i'd love to see what our players and staff get

on which point?

ps if you are responding to the last point, I didnt mean wrong as in factually, but in morally...

yeah I was meaning the last point really. The salaries are crazy!

600k a year for an assistant coach? I bet this guy can believe his luck every morning he wakes up. I know the old adage is that 'you are worth what someone will pay you' , but surely 600k for an assisntant coach doenst represent good value?
600k must put him in the top 0.35% or something earners in the country, along with people who run multi national compaines..its just fucking wrong.

From WHU...

West Ham United can confirm the newspaper article published this morning in the Daily Star, relating to alleged player and staff wages is not based on any club document, the figures contained within it are totally inaccurate and the document is a hoax.

The Daily Star made no attempt to validate the document with the club prior to publishing it. The club would also like to state that it would never disclose such confidential information in the public domain.

West Ham United will make no further comment with the matter now in the hands of the club¹s lawyers and the Press Complaints Commission.

Fake or not, it's no big shock.

Footballers are massively overpaid.

What warrants anyone earning £190k a week?

It's old but this is alleged to be John Arne Riise wage slip.

http://johnny-ong.blogspot.com/2007/11/john-arne-riises-payslip.html

there was one in the paper or online(i forget now)of lee hendrie's when he was at villa.

I know Mido's quoted figures are along the right lines. In a piece I read on him when he signed on loan from M'boro he confirmed that his wage is measly (comparitively) at West Ham because he doesn't want to be known as a Premiership has-been. But the main thing is that his family are mega-rich Egyptian oil-types. He's worth an extraordinary amount of money.
