Highest earner in the eL

Who would be taking home the highest wage in the league? Jason Byrne? Glen Crowe? George O'Callaghan? Garreth Farrelly?

I heard somewhere that Crowe was on €2,500 a week and a Bohs fan told me earlier in the year Farrelly was on close to €4K - taking home a wage as manager and as a player. It is in another thread that O'Callaghan is on around €2,000 a week and you'd guess Byrne must be on big dough.

Simon Webb is supposed to be on crazy dosh at Drogheda as well.

From what I know, our highest earner is on about €600. We've no 52 week contracts either. We were supposed to sign Wesley Charles from Bray at the start of the season but couldn't afford his wages. He was getting €1,200 a week, over 52 weeks a year with Bray which is huge money for the likes of them.

Roddy Collins......

If Farrelly is getting 4K he's it. BY a ****ing mile...

Not sure of ours. Would imagine Larsson (him being new and foreign...)

Chuck Norris:D :D :D


KOH

Farrelly ain't on €4k a week, actually no where near it. He would be Bohs best payed player but from what Crowe said when he left, he is on more anyway than GF.

Roddy's on €92k a year so in the whole League, he's by far the top earner. As regards players, I'd guess Crowe, though Hawkins wouldn't be too far behind him (€1800 take-home from what I've heard).

Our top earner this season was Barry Prenderville, reputedly on €800 a week, but after tonight he's unemployed.

Kevin Doherty on €1300, fact.

i think dan connor is our highest earner but cant confirm

Dunno 'bout your maths Doc but even by your figures Hawkins annual take home is more than Roddy's wages...

Bohs are paying one person about 50% more then that, and another gets about 25% more then that [thats cost to club]

Dont know the truth in this but Alan O'Connor is alledgedly on €350 a week. He would be our top earner. What a waste of money. I know it is only small compared to other clubs but we have had enough money grabbers over the years and stick within our limits.

Thanks God he is no longer a player with us after tonight.

I thought Farreley was on €80,000 a year as a player and another €80,000 as manager. All tax free too! Nice :)

Didn't hear exact figures but when we had the pleasure of visiting Bohs recently, one or two of their people were confirming that Farrelly was getting two wages in effect. He and Kevin Hunt were apparently miles in front of everyone else.

Utter crap, but he is on effect on two wages one as a player and one as a manager. Its not that high though and is taxed, well the tax is taken off him, if its passed on to the revenue thats a different matter. :rolleyes:

In a taxi the other week and I didnt say much about myself or my footie interests and the taxi man said "you know that glen crowe for Shelbourne, the irish league side, he's on 8 grand a week, no word of a lie". I couldn't but laugh at the fact he really believed it too.

well if a Rovers fan said it it must be true!!! :D
8k in coins must be a pain in the hole to deal with.....

i heard 2,800 a week for crowe and similar for bignose.

hunt got a nice wedge to extend his contract when bohs had money, but shels are the top payers at the moment.

cork dont pay as much as you would imagine with their monopoly position down there.

not sure about what any of our players earn but Don O'Riordan was on €1,000 a week when he was manager.

All taxi drivers who don't go to games seem to pretend to be rovers supporters. Albeit the last taxi driver I got was not a Rovers fan but his bro plays for Rovers.... :)

pretty certain Don was actually on £1000 with plenty of flights as well. heard mcnamara is on €500 a week. i'd say burns is our highest earner&worth every cent

id say paul brown is on big money and i think he's getting a wage increase as we got up.
