DR suggesting that Mariappa was on £40k per week at Palace, can anyone confirm this? If so I very much doubt that he's going to take a 75-80% pay cut to join us!

I would doubt very much he was on £40k at palace.

75-80% you think we'll pay him 8k a week at best? He'll be offered 10-14k a week. Also he is now without a team.

I need to find this website that shows everyone's wage slips?

This is the real world mate, information is pretty easy to access if you want to access it. £40k a week is below the EPL average so it's hardly far fetched is it!

@onlyshownaround - £10k is 25% of £40k is it not? A 75% decrease!

A player with no club is earning £0 per week so anything is a wage rise on that.

Rfcinfinity, I know that mate but I would still state that you don't know that to be a fact and as far as I am concerned you're just guessing.
The average doesn't mean it is paid to everyone and as a free agent I think he's averaging about hee-haw.

Also, crystal palace reportedly had the lowest average wage in the EPL 2013/ 14 at £19,205 p/ w and I doubt it doubled randomly in 14/ 15 so I would say your putting to much faith in the papers.

It's highly unlikely he was anywhere near 40k!
Have you not seen the Tottenham wages that were online? Vertonghan is on 35k! I think you will find that most teams in EPL are less than 40k however with the top six paying so much it tips the scales. I think you would be surprised at what some EPL players are getting, it's NOT 80-150k p/ w.

People often think that everyone playing in the EPL is on monster money whereas it's only really the very top teams paying it. Who knows what he is on however I doubt Rangers will be the only ones in for him. Fingers crossed we can get him would be another great signing.
