Quote ="Jukesays"Call it 450k then!!!
Jesus H Christ!!!!! Noble & IL are not doing a bad job getting the other 23 or so players in the other 1.15 million are they!!!!!!
So 2 x players are taking over a Qtr of the wage bill?? Whilst 23 players take under 3qtrs!!!!!!!!
No wonder theres such a bad feeling at the club!!!!!!!
Considering Bailey's on 200k a year and Gleeson is getting 150k a year along with Tommy/Richards/Riddell/Roberts!
That leaves about 100k for the other 15 players inc Phelps/Carmont/Smith before his injury/Hock before his supension/Coley/Goulding/Hansen/J Tomkins/Prescott/Pryce etc etc etc!!!!!!!!
They must be playing for Peanuts then!!!!!!
Unless that is no-one REALLY knows how much they are getting!!!!!
I wonder which one of the stories is true!

Yes the salaries at Wigan are hugely unbalanced. IL is not to blame for Fielden and Feka but maybe if some of you actually thought for a while you would realise why the club cannot sign all the big name stars you want and why they gave new contracts to Coley and Phelps. Signing Martin Gleeson for 180,000 per season is an IL decision. Gareth Hock will free 100,000 per season. Why do you think no announcement has been made regarding Bailey or why we are trying to sign Paul Johnson. In 2011 you will see a far better situation when Fielden and Feka's contracts end.
