In today's WMN Chris Hargreaves quoted that negotiations are taking place at present to send out a further one or two players on loan in order, one assumes to 'balance the books' now Showunmi is on board. Any guesses who?
I should think Courtney Cameron would be one but the other?
Hargreaves also hinted that other strikers taken on recently by other clubs, Northampton?, are paid £6000 - £8000 a WEEK (Sinclair, Connell?). Just shows the difference, however Showunmi must be on a decent wage so well done Mrs Bristow (once again).

Worth pointing out though that the £6,000 quoted is the total wage bill spent on strikers, not what an individual is earning. So probably around £1,000-£1,500 a man. Still a huge amount of money to play fourth division football!

I wonder how much of ES's wages we are contributing.

Chris based his figures on four or five strikers. He's implying (correctly, I'd say) that the strikers at other clubs are on £2000/week (or £100,000/year). While this would be nice, we can't afford it.
