Billy Sharp wages

[roverstillidie91]

I no the signing of sharp is great news for the rovers

but if sharp is on much higher wages, rumoured to be 14K a week at sheffield united but if hes taken a cut of only a small percentage of that.

could that cause problems in the squad if lets say sharp is on 9K or 10K a week and others are on 5??

unless of course hes took a big wage cut to come to rovers

I don`t think players wages should be discussed on here, thats a personal matter between the players and the club, we don`t really need to know what wage they are on

The players should be happy to have someone of Sharp's quality in the team!

[keyser_soze]

Agreed. Although I'd like to think Sharp has taken a cut, with perhaps beefed up goal/promotion bonuses.

[Superspy]

the one thing i do find amusing is that every time his wages are discussed, they go up.

when he first came everybody was saying he was on about 10/11 a week at sheff u.... lol

I cannot believe that we would have gone to the lengths of signing Billy if it was to be a problem. SO'D is very loyal and would not wish to cause any disruption. I feel that the more likely story is one of the players wanting the board to give assurances of ambition (Oster springs to mind).

I think that the players would have been consulted about this before Sharp was signed.
The last thing any manager would want in his team is unrest towards a new team member
about wages. I would think all this would be sorted before any decision was taken.
I also agree that the bigger players coming in also raises the profile of the other team members if that team does well.

Its a win win situation for all Sharp paid good money to score goals-win games = cup runs = promotion playoffs = more money = bigger payouts for players.

He'll be on at least £120 a week. :dry:

It never ceases to amaze me how people on here have such a fascination about who earns what and why it should be a problem that player A earns more than player B

How many of you on here know what your colleagues earn?
Does it bother you?

A football club is no different to any other company.

Would you be happy if your boss told all your work mates what you earn?

So who gives a f**k what Billy or anybody else earns.
Not me. As long as he does what he is paid to do that's all that matters.
