I think people would be amazed to what we pay players, despite us not paying anything like the most in this league. Ian Milne when I met him revealed, this is back in 2015 when we lost 2-1 at Bristol City, that first team players are on average earning 8-12k basic. I'd be amazed if Bru isn't on that. Some conference sides pay 2k. Bristol Rovers pay more than 4k. He also signed a new deal, no doubt with a payrise early 2015 after his first deal. [Post edited 14 Sep 2017 7:07]

His football CV is better than most at the club. We use to pay Cameron Stewart £15k a week to turn up to training. I would therefore imagine Bru was on a minimum of £6k especially as we signed him on a longer term deal. Also if he was poorly paid he would have desperately sought mutual consent in the summer and dropped a league or two. | ![](/images/avatars/15643.gif) |

I don't think Stewart was on quite that much but yes, he was one of our higher earners and a very expensive mistake Generally speaking our contracts aren't that high though - something I learned from a very knowledgable poster on here and since backed up by someone else I know who would have an idea on that sort of thing. We are also quite big on bonuses I believe Bru's pedigree is that he was out of work accepting trials to try and find a club to play for, hardly a strong bargaining position | ![](/images/avatars/7468.gif) |

Well lets put it this way - Our wage bill for 16/17 was revealed at 16.6 mill as a total. Now if our first team squad, of say 22 players were on an average of £7000 a week for arguments sake, that would equate to = 8 million. Add in staff wages, Mick etc and I'll be generous and put that at 2 million. So if them figures were correct, the non first team / youth / other staff costs would equate to £6.6 mill. Now I don't see that at all. | ![](/images/avatars/16350.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

The wage inflation in the division is getting us towards that level, certainly there are players whose wages are above the £10,000 a week mark now. But Stewart's wage was unlikely to be approaching that level. | ![](/images/avatars/2.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That is a couple years ago to be fair so he may have had another tickle since then, espec in his new contract (Chambers that is). But the idea that Bru is on 10k is laughable. | ![](/images/avatars/455.gif) |

No, I'm going by what Ian Milne told over 100 of us in an open Q + A session. He told us players were on average, basic wage between £8000 - £12,000 pw. Obviously bonuses etc ( he revealed each player has a top 6 bonus, so each week we're in the top 6 that triggers an amount of ££ ) He also said Chambers, as captain would be one of the top earners at the club. I forgot everything published in the newspaper is 100% accurate.............. Anyway, the main point in this article is the fact we're still paying Kevin Bru quite a good wage when he isn't going to play this season. If it was as low as some think, I think he'd have had little to no trouble finding a new club. As it is, if he was on £7000 for arguments sake, and say Le Mans in France came in and offered him £4000 p.w on a one year deal, we'd owe Mr Bru the remaining £3000. Good luck wherever you do finally end up, however I have a feeling he'll be on the books the majority of the season. | ![](/images/avatars/16350.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

While that is true, not long after joining he signed a new longer contract, likely with a payrise. I would be interested into appearance fees / goal bonuses etc. While not an Ian Milne fan ( even less so after he told the room he's a Chelsea fan ) I don't see the point in him blatantly lying about things. Especially if he's going to make up a figure?! I mean this is the social media age where someone could have filmed him and posted it online. Would be very naive to state something if completely untrue. | ![](/images/avatars/16350.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Agree no one is on that basic now but Stewart was on a huge pay packet and long deal. I think we signed him under the illusion that he was a sure thing given his academy CV. Must of wasted millions on him. | ![](/images/avatars/15643.gif) |

He would have got a slight increase I'm sure, but the main selling point for him would have been the increased length and security it provided, so not likely to be significant He'd hardly set the league alight and turned himself into a hot commodity | ![](/images/avatars/7468.gif) |

I wouldn't have thought Stewart was on that much - the difference in contract he was sueing Leeds for equated to them paying him £5k a week more than what we were. A couple of years ago our higher earners were on £10k a week - guess Murphy and McGoldrick may have been above that and with inflation and having a smaller squad there may be a few above that now - but we won't be paying anyone close to £20k a week But there will be appearance bonus of £2k a game etc so all adds up but it's almost close to performance related with how they are paid | ![](/images/avatars/9014.gif) |
