rea Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 There's an article on the STV website stating that we had the 5th highest wage bill last season. CLUB Ave Yearly Pay Ave Weekly Celtic £901,943 £17,345 Aberdeen £140,699 £2,706 Hibernian £102,199 £1,965 Dundee United £91,538 £1,760 St Mirren £78,447 £1,509 Kilmarnock £74,981 £1,442 St Johnstone £67,999 £1,308 Motherwell £67,639 £1,301 Hearts £63,999 £1,231 Inverness CT £53,690 £1,033 Partick Thistle £45,498 £875 Pretty surprised at that. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/1321105-celtics-average-wage-bill-is-25-times-higher-than-ross-countys/ Simply nonsense. Simple maths. These figures are presumably a mix of last issued accounts and an assumed number of first team squad. might be a bit of mix and match, but last accounts have wages at £2.28m current 1st team squad is 25, give or take and so with an average of £78K per player that is £1.95m leaving £330K for the entire rest of operation. Youth, coaches, management, admin, accounts, ticket office, ground staff, commercial dept....official sausage roll eaters....just nonsense....for a total of 65 employees.....so 40 other employees are on avg on £8k PA.... NOT Quote

TopCat Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Figures been widely debunked as nonsense by fans and other journalists alike. No way we were paying more than Motherwell, St Johnstone, Hearts etc. Quote
Sergie's no1 fan Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 REA a former director and commercial executive says there are "official sausage roll eaters" at the club. Jings. For years I thought that was a myth and they were just thieves....... Next season we might be sponsored by Gweggs...... Callum Ball? Quote
Thorizaar Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 But I thought we were operating on a shoestring budget? The fakes, Killie, etc all had bigger budgets, which is why we found it difficult to compete. That's what all the 'online experts' told us.These "stats" don't give any info at all on budgets. Quote
Scotland Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Bloody hell!! What a waste if money - if true. I wonder what the gap between senior players like Thommo, Goodwin, etc v Mallan, Kelly, etc. Edited May 21, 2015 by Scotland Quote
marrez Posted May 21, 2015 Report Posted May 21, 2015 Anyone else just had their other half say "Whaaaaaaaaaat? Is that per week?" Congrats on the sex Quote
