Hi,

Just hoping to get a bit of information as to how much players are being paid in the victorian state leagues? Is it generally a weekly wage or a per match appearance? how much do players at a vpl club get compared to say a state 2 or 3 player? Can anybody shed some light on this or point me in the right direction?

Cheers

ROFL, I can see the headlines now in the papers, in a few weeks time:

“Australian Federal Police today raised 6 Australian State League clubs, on behalf of the Australian Tax Office, after being advised of ‘cash in hand’ payments made to several State League soccer players in recent years.

It’s understood that the ATO were tipped off to the amount of money the Government hasn’t been able to collect, after an high ranking official, posing as a soccer fan, on an online soccer-specific forum, gained estimates to player payments”.
