Not a match soldier, monthly...them men got paid like a normal job.

Aymir · « **Reply #2 on:** November 07, 2005, 03:47:39 PM »

that would be monthly indeed mate. i doubt whether any team in the league can afford to pay players much higher than that.

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.

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?

KND2 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2005, 12:53:49 PM »

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!

pardners · « **Reply #21 on:** February 10, 2006, 10:09:25 AM »

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.

kingman · « **Reply #22 on:** February 10, 2006, 10:10:12 AM »

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?

What about the other minutes of traini. Honestly though, that isn't bad

maxg · « **Reply #24 on:** February 10, 2006, 10:41:06 AM »

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.

kingman · « **Reply #25 on:** February 10, 2006, 11:58:49 AM »

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!!

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

kingman · « **Reply #29 on:** February 10, 2006, 01:58:11 PM »

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.
