As a side note, a lot of it is speculation. I dont personally believe that all current players are on less than £10k, Cantwell for one wont be, even if I can clearly see the intention to keep cutting the wage bill. 

The wage cap such as it is is rumoured to be for new players coming in.

We all know Cantwell's way above that and Travis, Brittain, Hyam would have been above it as well.

Oddly enough Id imagine Pears is one of the only ones remaining apart from Cantwell and Tronstad  above it. Maybe also Pickering and Carter? Not sure what Wharton would be on.

I have been told Pickering is by a friend of the family.

On the higher wage structure

Would certainly make sense as to why he can’t get ahead of Dion De F’in Neve in the pecking order.

There's no way a defender of Pickerings experience is being continually over looked for anything other than financial reasons.

We may move in the same circles. When i get a chance I was hoping to ask why not playing at moment.

Can you dig out the average for years 6 -10 and the last 5 years if you've nothing better to do?

🙂

 That should prove quite informative Id have thought.

As if I’d have anything better to do😁😁

Years 6-10 average £12.46 million

Years 11-15 average £9.05 million

As an aside:

Years 6-10 is nearly entirely (95%) an increase in debt to the Venkys.

Years 11-15 has a reduction in debt to the Venkys (-£6 million) but a large increase (+£51.24 million) in equity.

Who is still above the 10k?

Pickering, Pears, Cantwell, Carter?

That's what I was getting at last night -what looks like breaking of ranks and a rant from Val is perhaps just an orchestrated brief from the puppet master.

Yes exactly 

they have been “running “ the club for 15 years

the only person who spoke out of terms in that tenure (JDT) was gone immediately 

this is all orchestrated

Tronstad will be on or above that too, was signed on a free (which generally means higher wages etc) from a top tier Dutch team (think he also played in Europe for them), well before the taps were turned off
