More than likely too much. No one ever knows as rumours are just that.Originally Posted by manutdmad
Exactly, rumours about other clubs will always tend to exaggerate the wage. But I suppose for a full time, top player at a fully full-time club €1500 per week would be standard enough I'd guess, no-one will ever confirm though, nor should they about individuals imo.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Ha ha, I was wondering who the first to say that would be
The roumer at when he signed his last contract was that Crowe was on €1000 a week (HUGE back then - 2 or 3 years ago). Cant see too many more geting above that. Farrelly is getting €1000 a week to be injured though + the same again to make Bhos not score. Nice work if you can get it!
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
I was tempted but held off ..... Change the name if you want to be taken seriously !!!!
Where in Manchester are you from anyhow ??
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
maybe its a typo, and he's a regular at century homes park
Salford! Sorry about the name didnt mean to offend i will get around to changing it asap
A genuine Man Utd supporter and not a barstooler! Sorry lad most people thought that you were some Irish fella who has only ever seen OLd Trafford on the tele!
Ouch!
Any where near Drewbury Road ??

Thats exactly what i thought .... a flithy bar stooler is what i thought he was !!

I think we all learned a valuable lesson here.
What's the average weekly wage for LoI players these days? What's the minimum average weekly wage club would want to be spending to maintain a professional set-up?
Depends how you define "professional set up". Some players earn less €100 a week. Others earn ten times that.
Pats apparently average around €300 per week but that could be just press guessing. Ryan Guy is the last of the big contracts from sadlier's time. no idea what he earns but he's taken 2 pay cuts in the last 2 years
Whatver you're told here, its morethan likely people guessing. I meant to ask, you ask the forum a lot of questions about fiancial stuff (crowd figures etc). Any particular reason, or just curious?

€300 wow i thought it was about €700, Makes our seasons work an even better achievement so far
Here on a technicality.
Suspicions starting to form - Dodge is melting the tar and preparing the feathers as we speak.

Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
I do I guess, it's just curiosity really, getting a better understanding of the league from people, reading between the lines, who seem to know the league better.
I guess with a Kerry side involved in the A Championship I'm taking a bit more of an interest though I have always had one in the domestic game.
Getting a view on some idealistics views as well which mightn't be realistic, e.g. the expansion of the league to more regions.
My reason for the question on wages was I was trying to estimate what crowds clubs need to be getting on a regular basis for the pro game. You hear people say Ireland can't support a full-time set-up but I don't necessarily agree.
As long as players are willing to take a low full time wage.
There is a way for players to earn a decent wage and still play almost professionally, and it's fully legal and above board, as well as tax compliant, however no club will properly go for it as they'd rather one up each other to the brink.
Would depend on the level they are playing at I guess. I'd imagine any clubs on a pro set-up though, they'd want to be getting at least 3,000 on a regular basis. To be offering players 4 figure weekly wages, they'd have to getting nearer 5,000.As long as players are willing to take a low full time wage.
