Interview with Dino Visser
Certainly won't be getting the reported £6k a week he got at Brizzle City and Pompey there, but he will no doubt keep their physios busy.
A little hint to Hiram. Managers are older than you, in some cases more than double your age. How do you expect them to watch that video if they are going to turn it off after ten seconds because of your p!$$ poor choice of music?
Taylor joined us during the second half of our first season in League 2, during which we had a bottom half playing budget (c £1.8m). You could probably convince me that when he came he was one of our top earners, or even our top earner.
I think the reason for his salary was that as you say, he joined you mid season, and you effectively took over the remainder of his Bristol City (Championship level) contract, and didn't as a result pay a transfer fee. There was a list of all your players salaries published (around the end of that season ?), and he was the 2nd highest paid. Even higher was a player whose name escapes me but might have been your captain, in his case the reason was that he was in the last year of a long term contract agreed whilst you were a Premiership club (?). Those were the two stand out figures, most were far lower. It was of interest to me at the time, not only because of our links to RT, but also James Dunne and Paul Jones.
I suspect he may have been earning £6k for the rest of that season with us picking up just under half of it at most (he was out of contract at Bristol City that summer), with a commitment to pay him the bit we were paying for the following 12 months.
Personally I like the music but I take your point. If he'd played an 80's classic like 'Aha' 'Take on me' he'd have appealed to many more managers.
