How about a thread full of quotes by the man himself:

I'll start, a few years ago but an interesting read:

https://fcbusiness.co.uk/interviews-fea ... er-chance/

A fair few quotes to discuss in there and even question!

If we can add any more articles/quotes to this thread, then we can discuss Raj in a sensible and non-libellous manner.

“We had guys on £13-14k a week in the non-league who just weren’t good enough. That makes the job immediately harder because you have to deal with those contracts and try and get them out."

Any idea who was on this amount per week at Pools?

There is no way that happened, that would be £650k-£700k per year. Nobody has ever been paid that amount at Pools. Maybe £13-hundred or £14-hundred.

No he will have meant 13 to 14 hundred pounds a week.

Not in non-league but allegedly Solano was on at least £11k a week. I know someone who saw his wage slips after he went bankrupt (though they allegedly discovered he was earning nearer 17k a week with bonuses). And I knew someone who was mates with Ben Clark, he was apparently on 5k pw. Both in the league1 peak IOR days though. Wonder what our top earner gets now.

Strange how we all use the word 'allegedly' a lot more these days.

Are you alleging that or stating it….I’d stick with ‘alleging’ and play safe.
