I'd guess Hearn is on £700 to £800 a week at Town. "Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!" John Tondeur - Wembley Stadium Sunday 15th May 2016

If a club states that their wage bill is £ XXX , we all assume it's correct . However some of these players wouldn't be playing for these clubs , in front of a few hundred fans just for the love of the game .  Secrect , or unofficial payments go on all the time , it's a matter of not getting caught , or paying your dog , alledgely !

Footballers at all 5 pro levels are over paid...in terms of hours they work they would be hard pushed to be classed as full time yet they all get full time wages...

It's that old saying  " If they were in the real world " On another note ,  just how many of these over paid super stars !! Would be prepared to play for pleasure in the lower leagues eg , Gary Birtles a true gent .

Many will be financially safe so money will be no object so maybe the odd one will filter down...male masturbators like Rooney, terry etc won't though...
