Most clubs start at this figure for a player like Nicklaus; that's only 600 buckaroos a week! What do you think the other Top clubs in the country, especially in the BL&G pay - peanuts? Even it the Northeastern league a gun player would expect this.
GC would need to pay at least this to get him back.
Hotspur, I reckon you may have miss read Widgets blog. He was stating that Niklaus would be on 800 per game plus an extra 100 per goal. 800 x 16 = 12800 match payments + 10,000 for goals kicked (approx 100 goals for the year) totalling $22800 ($1400 per game - not including finals). Don't care what country comp you play in that would be amongst the highest paid players.
I am not choosing sides just explaining Widgets blog the way I read it. I really couldn't care what players get if they deliver and clubs are willing to pay that price without hurting the Football Club for future years.
