Wage Bill

[WarrenBee]

A friend of mine who is a share holder has given me the following information.I think it makes quite interesting reading.

The club currently employ 56 people on the playing,training and ground staff.
The annual wage bill for these 56 is £2,041,561.If you divide this figure by 56 it gives you an average wage of £36,456.44,as some of the players are on £500.00 per week,it makes you wonder what the bigger wage earners are pulling in.

On the admin and commercial side the club employs 20 people.
The annual wage bill for these 20 is £462.552.If you divide this figure by 20 it gives you an average wage of £23,277.60.
As I have said I have only been told this,so I can't confirm if it is correct.

Come on you Bees.

Someone phoned and told me the exact same only minutes ago??!!

You have to appreciate Warrenbee that the figures are for the year ending May 2002 and are not current.

They therefore represent last years squad which had quite a few much higher earners in it. (eg Evans,Ingimarsson,Powell etc), so I suppose the total is maybe not that surprising. It would also have included bonuses for getting to the playoff final.

I have heard these figures too though and what I find quite unbelievable is not the total but the fact that on the playing, coaching and groundstaff side alone (eg not the rest of the club staff) we employed 56 staff.

Bloody hell no wonder were losing a million quid a year. Thats one member of non playing, playing staff for every player!!!

I've just had a look in the match programme for 6th April 2002 against Huddersfield and we have 28 players listed so who are the other 28. All I can come up with is Coppell, Downes, Forzoni (who!!!),Griffin,McLoughlin,Geoff Taylor, Quin plus 2/3 groundsmen I suppose. That leaves about 18/19 unaccounted for altogether.

The same bill is apparantly down to £1m now

Yes but I understand from Mark Chapman that Roberto Forzoni has left and he was on £450,000 per year.

or half the annual losses.

is this for real?

Bloody hell - that makes £168,00 a year for a white-haired manager look like a bargain! If he was really on £450k a year, then I'm glad he's gone. It would explain how he could afford that nice Beamer.

£450k a year? That must be a joke. I can't believe he was actually earning that. Even in Ron's spending spree days, that is/was a lot.

 

[Jay Bee]

I can't believe that either, would Ron have ever allowed that in a million years?

 

[Alex]

I can't see that there's any chance Forzoni was on that, he was bought in under Coppell who was moaning to the press that he had no money to spend on players can't see him sanctioning that for a coach he'd rather've had players.

 

[Jay Bee]

Maybe there was a stray zero in that post? Would make a lot more sense.

Alright, alright it was just part of a running joke between myself and Mark Chapman.

If you knock off a zero and divide by two you get pretty close!!!

Lets not forget the YTS boys who are not given squad numbers, I would assume we have at least 12 players in this catergory. There not onn much money, but would be part of wage bill.
