I understand everything you have said and disagree with your opening post about “is it time to stop paying players weekly”.
I’ve clearly on many occasions explained the maths about how it’s the amounts that are the issues not that methods of payments. You haven’t challenged that at all!
My Post was. Given the situation at North Shields is it time for clubs to realize, paying weekly wages to players/management etc. doesn't work in some circumstances. (ie postponements, sponsors. wage payers dropping off)
Is pay as you play the only way forward to use a playing budget? (As in a club paying weekly wages are duty bound to pay that weekly wage weather a game goes ahead or not, if it doesn't, all revenue is lost for that game and still there is a weekly wage bill to pay.)
Therfore England if you do pay weekly you will have say for instance £2,000 in the bank before paying the weekly wage possibly £2,000 going out to pay a weekly wage to all players, every week, and that could be for several weeks the way things are at the moment, where as pay as you play is on a lower percentage and you keep your money in the bank until the game goes ahead.
So you mention maths, a club in general will pay a player either a large weekly/monthly amount, or a lower pay as you play wage.
So in essence for example a player gets paid £100 x 40 weeks = £4,000 ............ That player whos worth is that wont get £100 per game over the course of the season maybe half, maybe £60, average 50 games with cup games over the course of the year, on a pay as you play basis £50 x 50 games = £2, 500
Never once have I mentioned Yearly budget amounts, thats not what the post was about, hopefully finally you can understand the crux of this.
We are clearly on different conversations then, because as I’ve stated I know a number of clubs who pay weekly, but don’t pay when there is no game.
So that £2000 you refer to wouldn’t be being paid out at the minute, maybe a portion would be to contracted players, but they are generally in the minority.
