Heard from a "very reliable source" today that the best paid player at the club was Glenn Murray. No surprise there i know. But he said that he was on £3500 a week. Didn't think that sounded like that much. Thought the highest earner would be closer to the 5k mark.

Was sure a number of players were on 4k a couple of years back, so surprising if true.

Had feeling players who were released in the summer were the highest earners? Virgo was it?

Most clubs the top striker will be the top earner I'd think

£182k a year. Not bad...

Yeah true none of our business. I thought calde too. Just thought it was interesting though. Shows TB isn't going silly paying stupid wages. Think Gus must be on a fair wedge though. Heard Burnley came in for him but he has got a huge buy-out clause in his contract. Good work Bloom.

In 2006 L1 players earned 70k average per year and a few people have stated that Bobby Z was offered 7k a week before he bailed. If Glenn keeps playing like he is he'll probably be on five figures a week (hopefully with us) in a couple of years.

I know the club bust the bank and paid Ben Roberts £7K a week but times have changed as Kuipers was on too higher wages so had to go.

virgo was on 8k at celtic and would only come back here for 4k a week. i would have thought most our players would be on 2 or 3k a week max.

dont think we would of offered 3.5k a week for a player from rochdale, i seem to remember it being quoted that we had paid him 3 times his 500quid he was earning at rochdale.

I'd say Casper Ankergren is probably our highest earner on about 6-7k maybe.
