Squad salaries

2014–15 Salary cap $2,550,000

An A-League squad must comprise a minimum 20 players with a maximum of 26, subject to several limitations.
Three players in the squad must also be under 20 years of age. In addition to these three under 20 players, clubs are allowed to sign an additional three youth players onto full-time contracts at a lower pay rate than the rest of the squad.

The junior marquee under the age of 23 can be paid up to A$150,000 above the salary cap.
In the 2013–14 season, the minimum salary for A-League players was A$50,000

I thought Antonis was junior marquee

Interesting that you start the thread but don't actually put your own figures in Joffa... Go on, get everyone started. It's a very interesting idea and would be amusing to see what some supporters feel there players are being (or should be) paid.

I'm working mine out now...not an easy task

I think as a whole our players are worth 20% more than what they are currently being paid. Especially when compared to other major Asian leagues. I'm surprised that not more of our players are poached especially after what WSW were able to achieve in asia

I think because our players are unwilling to play in Asian leagues unless the pay is significantly better

I think I may have overpaid, Leijer, Coe, Broxham, Ansell and possibly Valeri and Thompson.

Sounds about right jof, in a perfect world though arch's pay cut would take him right down equal with some of the above average earners

Cheers, I tried to balance experience with skill and ability and also future potential...not an easy task.

God, really makes you realise how tight the salary cap is when you see how many players would have to be making $50k or close to, to make it all fit.

anyone else game to have a crack?

Anyone over squad number #26 (#23 or #26 - I can't remember) is on a NYL contract and thus doesn't count towards the salary cap.

What about all the questionable accommodation, cars and other things you're going to give them? ;)

Well we did underpay celeski when he was with us

I take it that's the guy who managed NQF's finances...

I overpaid everyone by way too much :(

Makes one appreciate how tough the salary cap is to operate under

Edited by Joffa: 5/1/2015 06:43:28 PM

What finances? :lol:

-PB

You know the money that was left after Robbie Fowler gorged himself

Edited by Joffa: 6/1/2015 12:42:52 PM

At a guess, I think the Jerks would roughly be on this (what I personally would pay each one may be a different story):

Mark Birighitti - 120k
Scott Neville - 100k
Taylor Regan - 70k
Kew Jaliens - 200k
Ben Kantarovski - 150k
Adrian Madaschi - 100k
Jeronimo Neumann - 150k
Zenon Caravella - 80k
Joel Griffiths - 150k
Marcos Flores - 150k
Andrew Hoole - 100k
Sam Gallagher - 80k
Edson Montano - 275k
Billy Celeski - 150k
Josh Barresi - 60k
Jacob Pepper - 80k
James Virgili - 80k
Allan Welsh - 60k
Mitch Cooper - 80k
Ben Kennedy - 100k
Sam Gallaway - 80k
David Carney - 150k
Brandon Lundy - Youth
Nick Cowburn - Youth
John Solari - Youth

The only one I'm positive on is Edson Montano, because I know for a fact he's on that. The rest are guesses. I think a lot of people will downplay the effect that length of service would have. For eg: Taylor Regan is by no means our best player, and there are arguments that he should be on the minimum wage or released. But because of how long he has been here, I wouldn't be surprised for his wage to have been increased over that time.

lol :cool:

should increase it so Victory become the best :)

Throw some questionable supplements in there and we can have a real party.

I did it without a salary cap in mind on the assumption that I'd work it down if it was over. It only came to $2.26M
