League Two Salaries 2023/2024

[FiRTHYY]

Might be the least surprising thing I have ever read

As a supporting of the club, I have a genuine interest in how the club is run.

Shock horror.

What grade (A-F) would you give your club for how it is run by the owners/board?

 

[chief]

Because you’re chatting shit.

You posted the other day how we are defensive over Powell’s wage when every County fan on here knows he’s on 7k a week and thinks it’s ridiculous.

Our current first choice 11:

Hinchliffe - With us since the NLN
MSH - signed for free after a NL loan spell at Hartlepool
Horsfall - free but big wages getting him Northampton
Wright - free - signed from NLN York
Pye - signed as a released teenager from Rochdale
Croasdale - free - just been relegated to the NLN
Collar - free - not wanted by Hamilton
Bailey - loan - not wanted by Salford
Sarcevic - free but big wages
Wootton - free from the NL but big wages
Tanto - 200k fee from Millwall


We’re all aware we spend stupid money (and a lot of it on marquee players that don’t work out) we’re just not prepared to pretend that we’re spending more than you guys.

Love this, a moan that I'm calling you defensive before a huge defensive rant.

Stockport fans have lost it. Gonna be creating a Lee Trundle effigy to hang before their game at Swindon on Saturday.

 

[GTFCfish]

Frugal Stockport massively overachieving fair play.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

How melodramatic is Chief?

"Huge defensive rant"
"Stockport fans have lost it"

Chill out bud it's just a bit of fun.

 

[joethegill]

Tbh too busy in a race for promotion, completely forgot gillingham Joe.

Probably right you pay attention to trying to get promoted at last, you normally get to about March and then absolutely fall apart. We've been utter gash this season and are a massive 4 points behind you so I can see your point though.

We usually don’t start too great actually mate.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

This is the season when Mansfield's annual choke job takes a holiday and they reach the promised land of League One.

I've got money on it.

 

[GTFCfish]

Some very tasty Mansfield - Gills BEEF brewing up here……

 

[Stocky]

This is nonsense. Just close it, mods. We want real, authentic news on this site.

I'll release the figures as and when. It's all in the spreadsheet.

People have waited patiently so I'll give a spoiler. Wrexham have spent loads.

Grimsby Town have also spent all their FA Cup Money on bang average journeymen and Paul Hurst's current holiday. Every Solero Exotic Hurst has guzzled in the last week or two has been from FA Cup prize money.

I think that's covered the two clubs' supporters that have decided to throw our name in this disgusting list. Be warned.

16th biggest budget in the division pal, it's there in black and white. Below the likes of Harrogate and Sutton. I admit I thought we'd be closer to the big spenders this season but like we said at the time, we spread that money over multiple year contracts. I've removed our Going For It™ With FA Cup Money status, so please amend the spreadsheet.

You can’t spend ‘all the FA Cup money’. There are financial restrictions on what you can and cannot spend. Clubs can only send a % of their income. Clubs like Wrexham can spend more because their income is greater. God knows what they get from Aviation, Tik-Tok etc but it is a lot more than most clubs get from the local butcher, baker or candlestick maker.

I would be more concerned about owners/directors who loan money to their clubs than general income from sponsorship and genuine income steams

as usual joe can’t get anything right.

 

[AdamStag]

Out of interest why is everyone actually getting so overly excited about all this?

 

[Master D]

TikTok don't sponsor us anymore by the way, we sacked them off for United Airlines.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Because it's players wages and clubs wage budgets. They always have done, they always will get overly excited.

But not as excited as lower league away followings of course

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

"Huge defensive rant"
"Stockport fans have lost it"

Chill out bud it's just a bit of fun.

Very.

Poor lamb struggles with the fact we spend less than them but play better football and finish above them.

Mansfield fan pretends player wages are of no interest to them

Also Mansfield fans: GiLl$ dOublEd oUR pLayeRs WagEs

Which was an easy trap which gills fans fell for time and again.

We just got better players than what we sold, though i’m sorry to learn of hawkins injury

 

[Richard Cranium]

Cheers for that though, we’d still have Hawkins playing centre back had you lot not come and chucked the mega bucks at him

 

[AdamStag]

True, but again we signed aden flint.

He’s a class above hawkins.

Here we go again…

This was also me talking about Stockport yesterday:

Even with Barry injured, I'll be astonished if you don't go up automatically. You've seemed a year ahead of us since R&R took us over, well equipped to go up this time.

Definitely sounds like I'm struggling to come to terms with you finishing above us tbf. Can see your point.

Very harsh for you to expect our little Staggy contingent to have any depth to their thoughts PuB.

 

[northstandexile]

TikTok don't sponsor us anymore by the way, we sacked them off for United Airlines.

You have only done that because the thick Americans think yours shirts are red Man UNITED shirts.

 

[spireite]

I'm not sure I want to come up now, bit too much beef on here for my delicate disposition.

It'll be fine as long as that Bite Your Nose Off guy (or whatever he's called) doesn't come with you.

It's not like the Non League boards with Wealdstone beefing with everyone.

 

[Son of Cod]

Wrexham Stockport is the modern day classic nobody asked for.

 

[Casey]

How long ago was the Wealdstone raider?

This could be completely accurate or completely wrong and I wouldn't know. I do know that Telford was on really stupid wages here and he could have taken a pay cut and still be one of the best paid players in the division.

One thing that does always get me is how, as fans, we all want a team put together for a pittance to be up the top but when it doesn't work out we all clamour for the owners to put their hands in their pockets.
