Jones' £750k salary...

I've read many times on here that Jones' £750k salary made him one of the highest paid in the country, which i dont doubt and im sure is true...

i was just wondering if anyone could put this into context for me, as im not actually sure what the common salary is for other Championship managers and alot of the Premier League ones too...

Does anyone have any figures as to what the others were actually earning? And who actually was the highest paid in the Championship? And maybe which Premier League managers he was earning more than too?

because to me £750k doesnt sound like an overly ridiculous amount but maybe thats just because i havent seen it in comparison to other managers'...

DJ was highest earner in championship, hughton was on 400k in premier when he got sacked

When you consider that hughton will do the job for 250k it puts jones salary into perspective!

Here are some premiership managers wages.

David Moyes - £61,500 per week (£3,198,000)
Harry Redknapp - £60,000 per week (£3,120,000)
Steve Bruce - £58,000 per week (£3,016,000)
Alan Pardew - £45,000 per week (£2,340,000)
Mark Hughes - £39,000 per week (£2,028,000)
Ian Holloway - £10,000 per week (£520,000)

Mark Hughes - £39,000 per week (£2,028,000)
Ian Holloway - £10,000 per week (£520,000)

see does it really seem all that much when he was earning a third of what Alan Pardew is earning...

i know, i know were gonna get the whole "but he did an awful job" argument

i dont feel he did but thats a different matter and in the past now

but yeah, maybe im just naive in thinking that 750k is a fair salary

All fair enough, but we play in the championship not championsfuckinleague!!

Dj was the highest paid in the Championship, that is the league we are in.

Couldn't find anything on Championship Managers but this sums it all up for me: -

Ian Holloway - £10,000 per week (£520,000)

Cracking!

With all these figures, there really needs to be a cap on wages and then win bonuses and so on.

If there was a cap, we'll see a rise in players playing for the shirt and not just for the wage thats for sure
