Answer

Peanuts. But that’s how the game is these days. When you’ve got players being looked at by Premier League clubs it’s great, because that’s the only way you’re going to see a good amount of that money come filtering down, but when you’re struggling to pay the bills compared to those at the top raking in millions every week, that’s when it can seem that football has lost its common sense. There are ways of getting around the money side though, and that’s to invest in players who really want to achieve. The Premiership has created a lot of big-time Charlies, and by the time they come down to League 1 or 2 they’re in it just for the money as they wind down their careers. That is why we have recruited a lot of players from the non-league game. The top players are as good at or better than most players in Leagues 1 and 2, and having seen the other side of the game they have a real hunger and a drive to succeed. They give it 100% every match and every training session, are willing to learn, and it’s one of the most refreshing things you can find in the modern game. MORE!
