BlueSuedeSambas 56,413 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/192304Slightly misleading headline but that's the only article I can find which mentions any sort of wage figure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thats easy we can all play that game. http://www.<No links to this website>/news/scottish-news/2011/02/25/rangers-star-nikica-jelavic-linked-to-gangland-death-plot-86908-22948033/But £15,000-a-week Ibrox ace Jelavic is still exceptionally close to him and credits his uncle with putting him on the road to fame and fortune.He said: "I have a plain, familiar relation with my uncle. He helped me in football on a volunteer basis because he loves me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 If Jelavic was demaning £20k a week, which i dont believe for a second, back in they days he would not have signed, simple. That wage was out of our league, we refused to pay it for Commons, Miller and Boyd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 56,413 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Like I said, upon closer insepction, iit was a misleading headline. Those damn rags inticing me in He's probably on close to the 15k a week figure but even then is pulling him up to 20k really going to matter in the grand scale of things when he could earn double that amount down South?

Leeds_Bear 8,299 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Had TheWeissman, rfc52 etc posted that comment nothing would have been said but because it's SWSL the usual people come out to claim he talks shit etc, some are so obsessed with him especially TWB!As mentioned by someone else it's common sense that Jelavic is not on the same wage as Davis, McGregor etc, they got bumper new deals about 20-25K a week, whilst Jelavic was on a reported 16K when he signed.Are people honestly trying to say Jelavic came to the club, became the highest earner and the likes of Davis/McGregor got new deals to meet his? Seriously? SWSL is a little like Coldplay, its very popular to dislike him but in truth he isn't that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may entice him to stay that bit longer and actually fulfil his dream of playing in Europe for Rangers which is what he wanted when he was at Rapid.

KBOO72 4,766 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Any chance he could have asked for a clause in his contract to automatically match the highest earner at the club .There was a certain degree of uncertainty around our ownership back when he signed , but if I was his agent and had any inclination that a new owner of the club was actively being sought I'd have been looking at a clause like this . Especially when you look at the transfer fee involved . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broxibear87 129 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He would be mad to leave before the summer, he's playing week in week out and scoring goals every week. Would he want to risk his place in the Croatia squad for the Euro's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
