Just anyone know what d top players in the professional league make per match. I was reading back in 2003 that fellas like Dwarika was making $7500TT a match...Does anyone have a list?
-
Not a match soldier, monthly...them men got paid like a normal job.
-
that would be monthly indeed mate. i doubt whether any team in the league can afford to pay players much higher than that.
-
yea boss i doubt that
dem men makin at most 10000 i think cuz pro footballeres earn a good livin i think dats why so many other nationals cum here to play in we league
-
Is $7500 a month...Dwarika was making.Jack say dat was enough money for 90 minutes football a week. ;D
-
at jabloth, the pay there players really good, but most make around 6000 - 8000. guys like witley make around 10000 a month
-
That is some decent money for the few games they does play.
-

If that kinda money was being paid... ;D I woulda play PFL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I know for a fact the only players playing for Jabloteh and Connection getting that amount of $$$$. The players on Defense force and Fire get civil servants type salaries (which is not bad), but the other clubs are way behind when it comes to salaries, some players in smaller clubs are playing for pride more than $$$$. Some of the best players on smaller clubs still working for $1,500.00 - $2,000.00 per month, and that is during the season only.
This is the main reason why several Tobagonian based players stay in Tobago, they prefere to play non-pro ball, and work for the tourism dept for more $$$$ than they will be offered in Trinidad, and the main reason why some of Guyana's best talent are still in Guyana.

That explain alot me...I always wondered why good footballers from Tobago doesn't play PFL...And All Tobagonians have speed ;D ;D ;D.....Go T&T
-
ok i was wondering what are player salaries like back home in the pfl and do the clubs buy players from eachother or men jus leave on free transfers???
oh and who is the highest paid player in the pfl u all think?
-
Salary can be anywhere from 2000 to 10000 TT a month.
But it depends on the team
The teams with money pay their guys more
Poorer teams the guys operate on a Stipend rather than a full professional contract so to say.
I think I saw somewhere 1500TT a month was the mininmum
Also take into consideration that they guys are not on the clock 9-5 most of the teams will practice 2-3 times a week with 1 or 2 games a week but it vary from club to club
Tobago United for example may only be practicing once a day for 2 hours so men free to find other work during the day.
W connection may be practicing 2-3 times a day with gym work etc and may actually have a full schedule with team meetings etc.
The majority of the set up are not that professional.

for a man who say that he see five PFL games in the last three years, u seem to have plenty 'files' on Tobago Utd and WConn...lol
How u know that Tobago united ent have gym work and team meeting sessions?
What u just described was how the SPFL used to operate!

-

-
A PFL team training 2-3 times a week,which team is that boy? :thinking:
-
Connection does train about 3 times a week on the field and on certain days they does do strength training at the gym. My cousin does play for connection.
-
i wsas wondering what is the salary structure in the tt proleaguue? and what player or players are being paid the highest.
-
i read that whitley and grey would be the highest paid local pros ever with some new contract offer
-
so what about the men who playing for Joe Public in the super leaugue....yall think they gettin more or less than them PFL men?
-
I lil birdie tell mih that when Jack (goalie) was with Jabloteh (capt) he was getting $9000/mth. Aurtis was getting less, but in 2004 he was getting a chance to play for some club in Japan or China (cyah remember now) and Jerry Hospedales and them offered him $10,000, a house and a car to stay with Jabloteh.
-
JUST FOR ALYUH INFORMATION.....the highest paid player/s in the PFL is those brazilians at W-Connection. They (Ronaldo and Jefferson) get $2000US a month.
Now tell me why the Trinidadians player like Kendall Davis and DeLeon have to be getting they lil $3500-$4000 TT ah month?
John Williams, respect yuh players boy!!!
-
Is $7500 a month...Dwarika was making.Jack say dat was enough money for 90 minutes football a week. ;D
What about the other minutes of traini. Honestly though, that isn't bad
-
Ah wonder how much of that would get put aside for when they career done at 36-37 ? Ah hope they have in dey contract that the club will help dem find another job. Cause they savings won't pay for any further education/preparation.
-
Maxg, who tell yuh them fellas going and last till 36-37 years playing ball...very very few men does do it and able to get paided very well doing it...I sorry for some of them Trini ballers ras.
Usually, a baller life span is from 15-30 years. Anything after 30 is going down hill. Salary caps does drop and performance does drop. So yuh done know. Ah really sorry for them men who making they lil 4000TT in this timing ras especially with the cost of living raising like crazy.
For all those who choose yuh scholarships, well done wee. It have it pros and cons eh. But i believe it was d better move for alyuh because not everybody does make it ras. Sad but true...it have real talent in Trinidad still trying to get a bly and salt like d nuts man for them.
Lets say alyuh scholar athletes finish school at 23 and then move on to play pro (lil A league or 2nd division) for ah lil small money till 28-29.... at least they could still have ah degree in dey hand to get a job. Mission accomplished....yuh played professional and yuh have ah degree!!

Imagine davis was a top sec school football player in the late 1990's Connection just killing we players
-
you telling me Triniman? I know breds....it sad....real real sad. the hard part is them fellas aint really no book men eh so yuh done know they have to depend on the football to live :(
-

they have to put a cap on the number of foreign players on the field at once. I waiting to see player like shane careldon and pacheco etc starting regular for connection. King man you know what eva happen to jason marcano why he left connection
-
Jason Marcano leave out W-Connection because w-connection was not willing to pay him a decent salary. he is now playing with jabloteh. After he left w-connection he went and played in the couva league under jan steadman and where he was getting a salary figure close to the amount he was getting with w-connection. Yuh feel them fellas care about yuh triniman? dey aint business nah breds.
-
Fellas we might think that some of the players getting small money, but think about the money the club and the sponsers have to put out EVERY month with very little returns.
You have player salaries..say 30 men on roster (could be more) and an average salary of $3000 per man...
30 x 3000 = 90000
90000 x 12mths = 1,080,000
Then you have the coach, trainer, equipment manager salaries too...leh we jus say 100,000 per yr split between the three of dem.
total = $1,180,000
We eh check rental for grounds, facilities, equipment, meals, transport, medical (doctor bills when man injured). Ah think dey does share the bill for EHS services on match days. The ball boys does get a bread and cheese too, sometimes football. You also have players insurance...not sure bout NIS and thing.
Dat is plenty money to put out....could more than 2 million a year, not including the 1/2 million to register the team.
How much is the first prize....$100,000 ?
Gate receipts....200 people (ah being generous here) at $20 a man...$4000. Even if they charge $50 a man that is only $10000 a game
$10000 * 50 games =500,000 (not sure how many games the avg team will play a year, including friendlies and practice matches with a cover charge.
The only way the club making back money is by selling players (to foreign teams). How much players good enough to make the grade ?
That is why sponsorship so hard to come by in TT. All in all is big big risk for the club and sponsers in TT. Sponsors really have to love the game and be real patriotic to put dey money in the PFL. Sponsors whose business is food and drinks could franchise they products at the match venues, but if you is a building contractor, how much business deals you could cut at a football match.
The players themselves doh even have the sense of mind to support they own sponsors...KFC sponsoring and man eating Royal Castle. Clico sponsering and when game done, man put on a jersey and cap advertising Chicago Bulls, Knicks, ManU, etc. Carib sponsoring...man saying dem only drinking black bottle and Red Bull. That is a hard pill to swallow !
So all things considered, them fellas dam lucky to be getting $4000 a month.
-
Pal, yuh make real real sense...me aint lying. But the point wah we was trying to make, although it did not come across in a proper way, is that the money in trinidad football is nil.
Secondly, why they have to be paying the brazilians 2000US ah month but giving d Trini Youte and them 3000TT? Yuh see wah ah coming from? Is just ah matter of principle because them Trini youte playing nice ball too.
But we aint lying pal, yuh make real real real sense. I have to admit!

I believe before a team becomes eligible for the PFL the owners have to prove the ability to fund the the team for a year minimum, the PFL also requires them to state the players salary structure and they even have to provide a bond that the PFL can use if the club goes bust during the season.
Presumably this bond is used to pay off creditors etc. I do not know if there is a salary cap and a mininum because it has never been published, but what I do know is all the players have to sign contracts where they have to be paid for their services.
Maybe we should get somebody to talk to Dexter Skeene.
-
The PFL is not ten years old guys..It is still in a growing phase...Things could get better after the World Cup or it doesn't have to change...We will have to see....In Trinidad and Tobago professional football is not looked at as a good career path....There are alot of things that need to be implemented but I believe that it will come eventually...Rome was not built in a day
-
This Pro league will grow and as far as the Brazilians salary come on can you look at all the leagues in the world and there will be one player that get more pay than the rest it have nothing to do about being from Trinidad it’s a business if W-Connection wants Brazilian players so be it they also have a lot of young players that will learn from the foreign players on the team and in the league
Just saying the youth form Trinidad should make the same pay just because he from Trinidad is an ignorant statement and a form of tribalism.
-
The biggest mistake the pro club owners made was to start paying such high salaries in the beginning knowing fully well that corporate T&T would not have supported in the manner we see elsewhere. How did they expect to support their clubs and players when the average attendence is around 1000 per game. I believe that the pro league was created so that our players will have a greater appeal to foreign clubs, without any care for the consequence. We saw great football and attendence in T&T prior to the pro-league, players played for the love of the game. I am not against the creation of the pro league, I question their intial motives.
They have set themselves up, that is why Warner had to bankroll Caledonia, and Brian Williams side could only afford to pay good players $1,000.00TT per month, and Tobago United can't secure our better players. The only reason Jabloteh and Connection doing well is because they have the $$$. Anybody who know anything bout T&T football know that a San Juan side can't beat a South side, but the table turn when yuh put $$$$ on it. :devil: :devil: :beermug: :beermug:

The PFL is in the beginning stages...I honestly do not think there are players that make 7500 a month...Anything is a possiblity but I do not think so.....There are players making less than 3000 dollars but still playing and training...They probably should have continued with the semi-pro a little longer...But I hope they get more sponsorship soon and those salaries raise....Go T&T
