Hull City’s Josh Tymon earns just £160 a week...

Get him played. No point rearranging half the team to cover LB.

 

Football club pays sensible wage shocker.

Naturally, the entire top-end wage 'structure' is beyond ridiculous.

However, for the sake of the holistic education of these youngsters, there should be a severe cap on earnings until they reach 21 - unless they have kids themselves.

 

So basically, you're saying to earn more money they would have to have kids they already can't afford? What a great idea, encourage kids to have kids!

 

I'll be surprised if he starts.

 

Read what I put - I don't outline what the removal of a (hypothetical) cap would entail at all, if they had kids.

Naturally, like society does in other areas, I would expect that if these U21 players did have children, they'd should earn more to accommodate and look after their family.

Hardly a massive carrot for 'kids to have kids', so calm down.

 

And let's not forget, Josh has to pay to get in. **** it Josh, I'll get you a ticket mate. £30 nowt to me... Oh wait...

Lammy mate, can I borrow £30?

 

You don't want to spoil the lad but for ****s sake he'd earn more stacking shelves.

 

He really should be playing, sacrificing Clucas in DM would be madness, especially against a physical team like Stoke.

 

Or, alternatively, they could get child tax credits, income support, working tax credits, child benefit and housing benefit like all the other young mothers and fathers.

 

Maybe so.

But still, despite that provision, there's an incredible amount of children in poverty in this country.

 

Maybe so, but he's got massive earning potential that the poor sod stacking shelves hasn't and the shelf stacker is (likely) to be grafting for their wage.

When I was his age, I'd have played for nigh on **** all.

 

I was talking to Rick at one of the U23 games, and he was saying this is the reason he is not at his best this season, pissed off with not being offer a better contract. With Arsenal and Spurs apparently stiffing round, the boy is unsettled.

 

Well if true that is just the appalling attitude which will hinder his progress and stops a lot of English talent from making it.

 

I agree, you would think he would want to showcase himself. But we have seen it before when heads get turned, and I can understand him being a bit pissed off if he is only on £160 PW, and not being offered new terms.

 

But why should he be? He's not in the first team squad now.

 

Neither are you Chazz and I bet your'e on at least £200 a week.

 

I have to say I am not familiar with the academy pay structure, but if you have a player that looks as if he will turn into a first team player, and is training with the first team squad, I would think you would try and tie them down to a contract.

 

I'm not advocating ridiculous wages for young players but ****ing hell another example of the Allams ****ing people about. I hope he leaves, goes on to great things. and sends that pair of twats a Xmas card every year.

 

£160 a week is nigh on **** all.
