Sloop John B Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 This has the makings of a boring 3-0 Arsenal win which will get called a 'Professional Performance' despite being utterly dreadful á la Celtic vs East Kilbride or England/Andorra.

accies1874 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Les Gray told us at the fan forum that Sutton have a player on £4K a week, too. Either he's a liar (likely) or Sutton are hardly this fairytale side (likely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 There's the pitch chat! What do you expect? they're pretty rare in England in comparison to up here. Don't think I've watched a game down south on a 4G before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well lets assume that they do not have 22 players all on the same wage, I would suggest that they have some people on this pitch who by normal standards are highly paid individuals. Point being, selling this is as the Prince v the Pauper is a wee bit misleading and patronising. It is though when you compare that 400k to whatever arsenals yearly wage bill is though..

1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Not beyond reason considering their budget as announced by Lineker. That would nearly be half their yearly budget on one player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The fawning of the commentators over that absolute imposter Oxlade-Chamberlain is fucking embarrassing. His passing so far has been atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 As a full time club, i'd suggest it will be at least that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Well aye. But lets not pretend for the sake of arguement this is some wee tin pot outfit who have defied the odds in some fairytale. They are well paid professional footballers. In comparison to Arsenal they are though, it's all relative. Queen of the South supposedly had a playing budget of 350k the year they were in the second division, so a side similar to that playing against one of the best paying clubs in world football (im guessing) basically.

I go and watch my team regularly and I dont consider them to be anything other than a professional football team. I highly doubt our wage bill is anywhere near 400k. You don't think most Falkirk players would be on £400 a week at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on a fair bit less maybe and two or three on more maybe. I wont claim to be ITK about any clubs wages, I am merely pointing out that these are professional full time footballers. Of course it would be a colossal shock if they got a result but I feel it is being massively overstated and Lineker et al are being patronising c***s when they talk about that wage bill as if it is nothing. By National League terms Sutton probably have one of the lowest budgets in the league. The owner of Forest Green Rovers is apparently happy to write off losses of over £2m per season.
