Maynot be fact but I heard Olly got £95k a co car and a house/flat to live in down in London.

Fair play I think I too would go for that

If true somebody has absolutely no idea of value for money in my opinion. Crazy for a mediocre (if very commited) forward with a 1 dimensional game.

Whats the salary cap, £1.5m or something close? Say thats split over 20 senior players, thats £75k each 'senior' player if the club spend it all (not sure if they do or not). Does the cost of the flat/car count on the cap? Its safe to presume it does in my opinion. So, loosly guessing his package might be:

Wage £95k
Rental Well over £1k per month I would guess, maybe split 2 ways = £5k + cost of car. Total package is going to be well over £100k.

Can't see the likes of Luke Dorn, Danny Orr, Rob Purdham and LMS earning less than 'agerage' and this would leave very little split between the rest of the squad something doesnt add up. Either they have massivly overestimated his worth and their wage structure is all over the place or this reported figure is a long way off.

I agree it does not seem to add up, just got told that they offered him "silly money" and he could not turn it down, how its done i don't know but its a big move to live in London and the car and flat would come as a standard part of the deal.

Sometimes club sponsors 'give' the players co cars and houses I understand.
