Players don't just come to England for the money. They also come to experience the lifestyle and culture, and to play in one of the best and most famous football leagues in the world. This has been accelerated since Pep Guardiola came to the EPL in my opinion, because its brought all the best managers wanting to pit their wits against him, which in turn has also brought even better players. Not so sure on the lifestyle and culture part but the best league in the world and not bad pay rates on top, Pep has what 2 more seasons left max by the sound of it.

It may sound strange to us, but even Pep himself said he wanted to experience the lifestyle and culture because he loves Oasis, and The Beatles and British music. The Hotels in the lakes are full of foreign students on a gap year that wanted to come and experience the lifestyle and culture. I'm not saying for one minute that it lives up to expectations, but I do believe its an attractive idea to others.

Players a bailing on the SA league at the minute , people getting away without being paid . Also think their is a big moral difference. Morals? In football? 😂 That's a different arguement, though and if you look at players out there many are leaving because of issues around life etc

Bradford could/would only go to £3.5k a week, we went to £5k. Which is the same as we were willing to contribute to his wages last January on loan from Wigan.

Certain sources have stated that clubs from a higher level were bidding for Wyke.
Have any of these supposed clubs been named?

If Wyke is on 5k a week, as a striker he'd expect that to double with signing on fees, goal bonuses, league position bonuses etc. That makes half a million a year. You then have to add on nic and insurance. At 500k his retirement pay out is £1.5m! He has a total cost of about 14k a week!
Nobby said the budget is 70k a week. That means Wyke gets nearly 20% of all wages.
Bluff

I would believe Nobby a lot more than I would Frank. It certainly seems reasonable that the new owners would want a marquee signing who would excite the fans, especially after last season. But I don't believe Simpson or Clibbins would sanction that level of expenditure. Imagine if he's crap, and the effect on the rest of the squad of that level of earnings.
That is just not how you structure a football contract, anyone who has played championship manager knows that. John Nixon would have known, he used to negotiate the contracts.
