Reported on Sunday Supplement that he was on 450K PA at Swindon - in LEAGUE ONE!!!
Apparently he left because he wanted a pay rise!!!
Not sure if the story is true, but it seems too outlandish to have come from nowhere and they also confirmed Parky on 50K PA at Bradford.
Unbelievable if Swindon paying that, no wonder they went bust!

They look like ending up with about 60pts so he'll end up with 10K in bonuses.
No, you're right, they wouldn't, but then again if they were they probably wouldn't get sacked on the spot for losing a home game to Walsall or whomever.
Most who get sacked do so with no recompense for doing a shit job
Thanks so much Al!
Where as football mgrs get paid in full for poor performance
Obviously the likes of Wednesday and the Blades would pay a lot more, well over 100k.
Back in 1995 John Sitton was on 14k per year as Orient boss! Mind you, he did lose about 36k in the swear jar.
I thought he left because of a row over new signings?
However if he was on that salary, no wonder he could afford to offer to pay a couple of loanees out of his own pocket.
Birmingham will be looking for a new manager soon so will Sheff Wed and maybe Wolves --he is a maid in waiting .....he is another Mourinniho its all about him
However he'd definitely have to change his approach. Telling league one and two players they're sh*t, need to do this and that, and publicly slagging them off is one thing, but not sure he'd get away with it so much in the championship or if he took over West ham.
I personally think it is hard to criticise players/managers for what they are paid because obviously there is a market place at work and every man in any industry will fight for every penny he could get somewhere else. That said I dont deny that it seems a little wrong when people like Pardew make so much out of failure.
If the Swindown board were willing to pay 450k then I imagine they are probably paying their players substantial amounts too which ties in with all the stories about the mess that the club is in.
