The word Nobbs confused him.
Does anyone know how much of our wages go to our woman team?

Not directly about the Arsenal women's wages but there is a BBC article from before the 2015 World Cup that said Houghton earned around £30k per year for club, and she would have been likely to be one of the top earners at the time. England players also get £25k a year if they have a national team contract (I don't know exactly how that works).Does anyone know how much of our wages go to our woman team?
It's pretty straightforward. Much as the equality lobbyists may want it, it is impossible to pay female football players what the guys are getting because the money isn't there.Not directly about the Arsenal women's wages but there is a BBC article from before the 2015 World Cup that said Houghton earned around £30k per year for club, and she would have been likely to be one of the top earners at the time.

I'd expect it's risen since then but it still wouldn't be much (articles I could find from this year still quoted these same figures for Houghton so I'm guessing they just copied from that article rather than finding out). Nobbs and Little would probably be in the same sort of earning bracket here but most players would still be getting much less than that.

Crowds for women's games are low, which in turn means advertising, sponsorship, tv and commercial deals don't bring in much money. As Mr Kronkite would remind us football is a business and there is no way he (or any club owner) is going to fork out £100k a week of his own money to pay a female player just because the equality lobby thinks he should.
Young boys dream of being top models but male top models get paid a lot less than female models. It's the market.Wasn't expecting the female to get as much payed as the our male players. Never said that. Just hope they are getting well payed. Arsenal are big club and big brand and they should of course think about how they can promote football for females too and good wages is a starting point. Because young girls dream just as much as young boys to become a pro footballers!
