Subject: wage from sponsor

How much do you get in IV division from sponsor????????

anywhere between 18k and about 32k depending on your results( both league and friendly), how long you've been playing, and the relative strength of your division IV.

just had a quick look - your Div IV is just in the top half on relative strength - so the top guy in your league prob gets 28-30k/week

I get 39k.

That's pretty good for IV.

I know you've just come down from III, but based on other's experiences I thought your sponsorship dropped like a stone with the relegation - talk about a parachute payment!

that is alround 35k drop from III - nearly half - and I suspect it has taken a season of winning every game so far to get back up to that level

Fair comment - but that's not the point I was making.

As someone who recently promoted from IV my sponsorship started at 20k and after 19 league games (18W, 1L) it just reached 30k before promotion to III - Truffs isn't top of his division, probably has better players than most of the others in his division, yet still pulls in 39k.

I'm not having a pop at Truffs here, I'm just saying that the sponsorship money disparity makes it even harder for the other IV teams to compete with a team that's probably already stronger than them.
