giblet Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Plenty Scottish football teams getting into this. Surprised football teams are ahead of Baseball teams in terms of payouts, maybe just due to the number in the squads. http://www.globalsportssalaries.com/GSSS%202015.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Are Rangers not in that or can I just not see them? Thought it might have been top leagues only but I can see Hibs and Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Are Rangers not in that or can I just not see them? Thought it might have been top leagues only but I can see Hibs and Hearts. It is top league only. And the figures are from last season. Doubt they'd have been interested with the 23rd best team in Scotland that year.

jailender Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Interesting to see that County pay lower wages than ICT, as the common perception was that the reverse was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. I thought it was this season as it said 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 just shows you how obscene Hibee wages were for that team of shitebags built by Fenlon were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT always seem to have a pretty small squad though, so perhaps just concentrate their money on players. Where as County spread it out over more players.

jailender Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Not any more. They have just released 14 players , and are down to 14 after the game against Killie. MacIntyre is planning a pool of 21 max. for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacIntyre is planning a pool of 21 max. for next season. Seems a more sensible approach. Adams appeared to sign about 10 new players every transfer window.

Sherps Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Surprised football teams are ahead of Baseball teams in terms of payouts, maybe just due to the number in the squads. Baseball has salary rules surrounding a player's first 6 years of play in the big leagues. For the first three, a club is only contractually obliged to pay a player the minimum wage of just over $500k. For the second three they go through a process of arbitration, where the player and club decide on a salary based on the player's ability in relation to their peers, or if they can't agree, go to arbitration where both sides pick a figure and the arbitrator decides what figure is used. This means that a players salary is relatively capped up until they're around 28-30. It's only usually once they hit free agency, after the 6 years is up, that they get the huge payouts. It's this capping of wages that keeps the average relatively low, which is what the document you linked to bases it's figures on. There's also only 25 men on a big league baseball team, so if the figures provided are in relation to a 40/50 man squad of football players, it makes the difference more acute.
