As mentioned, Salford come under fire as fans hit out at the club over their job application with ‘disgusting’ wages…
@Ashh1390: 23 grand wow, don’t think you’re getting all that experience for that lads.
@samyates_24: Can’t @GNev2 do it seeing how much he bangs on about how easy goalkeeping is!
@jamiet1709: Worse than minimum wage
@chrissycnufc92: Great to see the massive Labour advocate @GNev2 paying a proper wage 👏👏👏👏👏 proper showing these tories how to go on 😂😂😂
@DCFCChristopher: Lol 23k are you taking the piss? Costs probably 5k get the badges
@wxm14cc: Jesus Christ! I nearly pay that for my staff to wrap chips!!
@LTFC_Col77: That’d about £11 an hour @GNev2 piss poor
@sstretchh83: Paper rounds pay more 🤦♂️
@RedAlexCrewe: I earned more than this 20 years ago in a basic logistics job. Football is absolutely fucked if the coaching staff are being paid a year what some of the first team will be earning a month.
@RBSeanDye: £11.50 an hour for those demands is shameful. Often coaches will spend far more time than they’re paid for planning and learning on the side too. Stop shafting coaches!
@TheRydoggFB: This is a joke. I’m a grassroots coach, I’ve already spent over £1000 on various badges and I’ve not even touched any UEFA licenses. 23k is absolutely nothing these days in any line of work. 23k for a 6 day a week job and 55+ hours 🤢🗑️
@Matt05082152: Thought we got a fashion guru onboard that home kits absolutely toilet
@gazzerbell: £23k @GNev2 man of the people 😩
@PabloAnon010: This is a disgrace @GNev2 how do you genuinely think that a GK coach with all the experience required would do this job for peanuts? Again, another club undermining such a pivotal role.
@Rss_Prk: The Premier League need to immediately prevent Salford getting a new GK coach until they investigate why BBC Dragon @GNev2 can’t pay a qualified employee more than £23k a year in a cost of living crisis.
@RodJones1960: £11 an hour, it’s barely above national living wage 😂😂.
@hbotterill19: For all that Gary Nev shouts about wages etc he pays a shite one.
@noboydy73: @GNev2 you want someone to guide youngsters and hopefully produce players that will cost you thousands and you value that at 23 grand ..your a shambles bloke
£23k for a job that requires “elite experience” and about £5ks worth of badges (not to mention the years it takes to achieve them). Football industry is broken 😂 https://t.co/DczCS3JBMh

All the years gaining UEFA B outfield and GK, plus the years before it. Years grassroots coaching experiences, hard graft, years of getting in to academies just for @GNev2 to pay you £23k. 1.5k above minimum wage, assuming you only work 40 hours in this role https://t.co/ebXQ0m0lI0
