Burton seem to be one of the more sensible teams but 8m is Aberdeen level of wages here, and an unusually high-paying Aberdeen, and that's a club with the only aim of surviving in the Championship. Either way, English football in general pays way more and not just in the Championship. Always remember Andy Kirk tripling his wages to sign for Boston Utd in League Two and Adam Rooney signing for Salford in league 2 for money from one of our top paying clubs. That's more the fault of those in charge of the Scottish game rather than clubs like Burton etc. Anyway we digress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they aren't interested in anything else rather than supplying the beer. Burton are owned and have been since Non League days by Ben Robinson who had a small financial services business in the town.

DC_92 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Boyce makes a lot of sense as a signing and the transfer fee might just about be affordable, but is he really going to sign a permanent deal with us when we're 5 points adrift at the bottom of the league? We might be a difficult sell at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have over 100 p/t hospitality staff on our payroll as well as lots of admin staff. Our crowds average 4/5 times Burtons so they won’t have anything like the admin or hospitality staff numbers we have.

Notts1874 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Anyway enough about Burton, unless you want me to bore you with random facts about the town and it's history.

Living in Edinburgh, playing for a top team in Scotland and scoring goals could appeal. Hope so. The good thing is his record at Burton probably isn't quite good enough to attract Championship interest or persuade many League One clubs to part with a fee, so if Burton are going to sell him, Scotland seems a likely destination. Strikers aren't a priority for Hibs, so he's unlikely to go there, but Aberdeen seem to be long term admirers and are probably an easier sell than us at the moment. Pure speculation anyway.

It’s not uncommon in these cases for clubs to give a non-relegation bonus for the season the player signed or more likely a release clause in the contract allowing the player to leave for free should relegation happen, like Defoe at Sunderland.
