Tommy Watson


Can't blame him if thats true. Mental on Brighton's part if it is though.
I’ve head from someone who knows him (take it with a pinch of salt) £46k per week. Known for a while but not really worth posting then (or now tbh)
This is the transcript

“Right? You know, he's going from somewhere in the region of a thousand, fifteen hundred pounds a week, which of course gets taxed. So by the time he gets his net pay at the end of each month, it's still a very, very good salary for someone his age, but it's most certainly not life changing.


But by the time he takes to the field, 1 suspect for Brighton's Reserves, he's probably going to be coming home each month with about sixty thousand pounds per week there or thereabouts.”


Just slipped on his words. Clearly meant £15k per week and £60k per month.
Be a canny few in the championship on £15k per week. He’s on a lot more than that…

When Watson and Mundle both came back from injury a few months ago, Le Bris said he was going to rotate them.

Bit of a shame that Mundle got injured again, then Watson's move to Brighton was announced.

It's one of the things this season that has disrupted the Manager's planning, but he never complains much, just get's on with it to be fair to him.

The average premier league wages is £40k per week and that was said a few years back on that crystal palace documentary, obviously the very top earners at the club will help bring the average up but still.
 
Was Watson involved in the post-match celebrations much on Tuesday night?

Genuinely can't remember seeing him on the pitch, although I can't remember much after Ballard's header crossed the line :lol:
 
I was told 16 a week
Sounds about right…

The average is massively inflated by the top 2-3 layers in a club. Over 50% are on less than 30. Watson as a junior player without sister experience wont even be on that.

To concept of £6k a month not being life changing is hilarious. Would certainly change my life!

If he wasn't a football he'd have been making £8.60 an hour at McDonald's or something!

Do you have a source for over 50% of players being on less than 30k? Sounds nonsense to me.

£46k 🤣

Nee chance. He signed his current contract before he even made the 1st team.

Bear in mind, there were a few young uns offered new contracts despite having loads of time i.e. Ballard (twice iirc), Jobe and Rigg after he'd signed his what will have been an entry level senior contract.

Don’t understand…what’s the question again?
 
I’d make him a sacrificial lamb, put him on to draw a horror tackle resulting in a red card for SHU then just put Mundle on. Everyone’s a winner.
