Gavin Williams

Just listening to the slough radio, they've just said Gavin's earning 6/7/8 hundred quid a game?? Is this accurate?

Whatever he gets....he is worth it....I heard £10k a week , freedom of the Borough and the pick of the virgins at the Kirkhouse on a Friday Night....but that MIGHT be a tad inaccurate.....Boz

Haha, wize words, boz. Quality player

900 a week, but he played for West Ham. Worth it!

There is a problem with The Kirkhouse situation.........

Whatever he is paid, it is probably done by sponorship.

If I were Gavin Williams, I wouldn't want to see speculation about my earnings aired on a public forum - who would? Regrettably, though, notions of respecting privacy and minding one's own business seem to have gone out of fashion nowadays.

Quite. Wages are a personal matter, or should be. I am sure, however, that he is not getting anything like the amount suggested as no sponsor would be that generous.

Agree, However this is also a private matter between GW, MTFC, & any Sponsor, so would respectfully suggest all this speculation on this Forum should end ASAP as it's not good for both GW & possibly Team Morale.

How would Slough Radio know how much he is on? I think they are probably guessing because Gavin showed over the two games he was a class above them. Anyway, it's nothing do to with them so it needn't be talked about anymore.

I listened to some of the Slough commentary on Sat, which included plenty of trivial banter between the two broadcasters, in between a decent commentary. Any comments they made should be considered in that light.

I have spoken to Gavin this evening and he has asked me to post a response on his behalf.

Gavin is concerned about the impact this speculation is having on everyone, and would like to make it clear that he is not receiving any money from sponsors, and he is not being paid anywhere nowhere near the amount(s) that has been mentioned in this posting.

Gavin realises the hard work that everyone at the club does and will never expect to receive an income that could put the club in jeopardy, which the amount that has been quoted surely would.

Speculation about high wages could also damage team morale, and the team morale that the squad has is a crucial element of why we are in the position we currently are. This morale and spirit is not something that Gavin as assistant manager wants to be damaged which is another reason why he would like his position to be made clear.

That should answer everyone, now let's get on supporting this very good team of ours.Onwards. upwards I say.

The Slough Radio commentators were just Slough club volunteers, not journalists or radio people as such so as stated, we should bear that in mind when their comments are considered.

I look forward to the day when we can pay all our players that sort of wage!

#justdreaming!

Well done for that Gavin, it should not be anyone’s business, however in my opinion you are showing your undoubted class and we must also remember the rest of the squad are playing out of their skins under the leadership of the management and the attentiveness of the backroom staff, keep it up all. It is a team game so back down to earth on Saturday for our next challenge.

Well said TJ anyone that heard the commentary last Saturday could name a lot of other remarks made that were nonsense but apart from commentating and obviously favouring Slough they were I believe trying to make an entertaining broadcast.

I thought they done a decent job I do not think they particularly favoured slough and they did give us a lot of decent positives like recognize us as being a decent team.It be great if we could have a commentary like that at all our away games

Only now read the replies, didn't mean any harm with the post was just wondering, if the wage suggested by the slough commentators had any truth about it and whether or not that was the rough price our players were earning, no harm intended, sorry once again

Buy me the equipment and I'll do it as I speak into my dickyphone during the game which I replay for my reports.  Mind you, I'd have to mind my language!

Cheers boz.. Maybe it worded my original post wrong, anyway on another topic, you got any idea if there will be any highlights posted on martystv anytime soon? Cheers....

I'm not bothered about who earns what, whether they be a player, manager, coach or a member of the back-room staff.

All that matters is that everybody pulls together as a team and they continue to produce the results and performances for the remainder of the season as they have done so far. (The last two minutes v. Shortwood not included)!

I'm also a bit surprised that Gavin. as an M.P.* hasn't yet been accused of fiddling his expenses!


*Merthyr Player.

Yours,
with tongue firmly in cheek,
Nubs.
