Blackpool have broken the record for payments to a non-playing member of staff with the chairman’s father, Owen Oyston, receiving £11m in the last accounting year for his work as a director. That works out at £211,538 a week and very few players get that much.
Clubs are, of course, entitled to set renumeration levels as they see fit but this does seem somewhat excessive to say the least.
