Barber is on a £1 every 1000 words, hence his ludicrously high salary.

That's what I thought, so it's impossible to work out players' wages, as a group or individually.
Certainly impossible to calculate on an individual basis, and rightly so too.
Only salary disclosed is that of the highest paid director.
It is possible to work out some rough figures.
Anyone working in the wages department at the club would know but to be honest what the players earn is their own private business and no one else's.. You probably couldn't average it either with any real accuracy because the low earners in the bars and hospitality and admin staff would drive the average down and the Directors salaries would drive it up
Well yes, but we are looking for the average player weekly wage, so non-playing staff won't throw that out by too many hundreds per player per week.
Bar staff will be on Sodexo's wage bill, not the club's.

How true I dont know and how he knows also, but a chap on the train after last game was saying he had people ITK who told him no player at Brighton was on more than £10k per week basic and stories of CMS etc on £15k ish was absolute b......s. Whatever it is a lot more than me as I am retired. It amazes me why fans would want or need to know as it is not their money paying it.
Ah OK.........I don't know the set up but there will be admin staff whos wages would drive the average down
You are very good BG at finding people in the know,taxis, buses, pubs, in the west stand.
Must be you just have the knack of being in the right place at the right time.

It was 2 blokes talking on the train to Worthing not directly to me, that were rather loud so everybody around could hear.

I thought that perhaps you had emigrated and left your space for an idiot. Seems I was wrong but I can live in hope.
Whatever it is, it's obviously essential that it's always quoted as a weekly amount rather than a salary because that makes it seem outrageous. A position that appears unique to football. Nobody moans about other entertainers like pop stars that trouser millions of pounds a year (or hundreds of thousands in our case), perhaps because people aren't so keen to equate it constantly to their own wages.
