Money in football is too high but even allowing for football

No director at our club should be receiving ?1m plus for presiding over an entirely avoidable relegation due largely to the boards failure to make a change that anyone could see was needed.

Jim's post below regarding Director pay (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 17:55:33
- It is obscene. That's obviously what you have to pay to get someone to (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:04:55
  - comparison (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 23, 18:34:51
    - You can't blame him for what he gets paid. His perceived worth to the club. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:37:06
      - Whose perception? (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 18:39:33
        
        Well, I didn't agree his remuneration package with him... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:41:06
    - 12/13 was a successful season (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Nov 23, 18:36:51
      - I don't have those figures (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 23, 18:56:29
        
        ah ok (NCFC) - Winged Eel Creosote, Nov 23, 18:59:53
        
        hence (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 23, 19:09:13
  - you're becoming a fuck off selwyns type of wind up! (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Nov 23, 18:09:30
    - *pfft* a banker wouldn't even bother getting out of bed for that bonus (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 23, 18:29:05
    - Ok sorry. Yes of course we should not (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:27:02
      - You can question anything you want to - you should (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:32:05
        
        The point is performance sh*t and pay still obscene (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:39:18
        
        So, what you're saying is money in football is too high. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:43:42
        
        Money in football is too high but even allowing for football (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:51:49
        
        If he was paid 150k for staying up, and ?100k for going down, would you be happier? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:56:59
        
        Obviously. The point is if people are being paid that sort (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 19:06:45
        
        Right, so it is money in football then (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 19:13:41
        
        The average CEO pay for prem clubs in 2013 was just over ?260k (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 19:21:18
      - So how much was he due to receive had we stayed up? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:27:41
        
        I don't know. (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:29:55
        
        Right - so you don't even know how much relegation cost him then (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:34:20
        
        I assume therefore that the difference is not receiving a bonus for staying up (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 23, 18:32:30
    - You're missing the point! It's obscene given the level of failure. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 18:12:05
      - debt free isn't failure (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Nov 23, 18:15:08
        
        Debt free due to promotion to the Premiership for which he (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 18:18:37
        
        So how much was he due to get if we stayed up then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:19:39
        
        No idea but again that's not the point. Why is the manager (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 18:21:57
        
        I thought the point was about the money McNally was being paid 'for failure'? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Nov 23, 18:24:42
        
        Lambert and Holt etc cleared the debt (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 23, 18:17:13

        Certainly agree that Holt and Lambert were the main reasons but you have to give (NCFC) - Chopper, Nov 23, 18:20:20
        
        but we were promoted quicker than the plan - relegation was always going to happen (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Nov 23, 18:23:31
        
        We picked lambert because he beat us 7-1 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 23, 18:22:51
