Vital 1st Team Regular
We all band about these figures of footballers and managers earning this and that but here is a bit of food for thought and highlights ridiculous nature of football finance.
I was listening to a Danny Cowley interview that came on the sport radio this morning and it got me thinking. DC has been in charge at Hudders for 174 days. If as has been reported his salary is £1.5million which is not unusual for the championship then he has received £717,079 so far. In his old job as a senior teacher in Essex the average salary for this is currently listed as £42,035. It would take him 17 years to earn what he has so far received at Hudders if he was still doing his old job.
This is a Championship club and look at the huge level of finance and we are talking second tier English football! I hazard a guess that there aren't many of us City fans earning even £42,000 per year let alone anymore!
While we all crave the chance to support our beloved Imps in The Championship what I would want more is Championship managers or players salary!
