National League needs to be taken more seriously and given the 3rd promotion place to L2. The NL is harder to get out of than the championship because it's only 2 promotion places (1 auto, 1 playoffs) but every team that's gone up recently to L2 has flourished.
Big team's in the NL can completely argue that the top half of the NL is stronger than the bottom half of L2!
Spot on
Bollocks. If your not good enough to either win the league or the playoffs your not good enough to be in the league
@@damianmurray787 Stop talking sh*te!!
So by your logic, every other division should be reduced to 2 promotion 2 religation??
Every other level above the National league if finish the league in 2nd place you win auto promotion.
@@ratty93 the only teams that want it are ehe big ex league clubs who think they are entitled and too good for the conference. Either win it ow win the playoffs. Shouldn't be promoted for being second or 3rd best
@@damianmurray787 so.... Boreham Wood FC (always been a non league club as far as I can work out) currently in (arguably) the strongest possition in the NL. If you asked their player/manager/owner/fans would you take auto promotion if you come second this season that they would all turn round and say "No we are a traditional non league club, we should only earn auto promotion by winning the league!"
Absolutely BS! Completely talking out you rectum!
Paul mullin is an incredible player for the national league
Isn't that good madden kabongo tshimanga and asante all better in nl
@@spireitesss931 Asante and Madden 🤦🏽♂️
@@LiamRobertsWxm Madden is the second highest scorer of all time in League One. He's much better than Mullin 😂

Really interesting video mate. As a Chesterfield fan in the National League the last few seasons, would love to see more content like this around clubs in the National League 👍🏻 keep up the brilliant content!
I used to play a LOT of Championship manager in the early - mid 90's. These were the wages of quite a lot of premiership players back then ('93-'97). Though now £100-200k a week is prevalent in the PL, I saw a documentary about 80's footballers and the wages of some were shocking. They went through the Liverpool 1984 European cup side and Souness left for Sampdoria to earn a whopping £100k A YEAR! Steve Nicol was on a miserly £350 a week at the time....
Inflation man it’s not really that much less than today
@@shaihubela1926 bro it’s still far away.
@@shaihubela1926 inflation since '84 is no where near significant enough to make it come remotely close to todays wages. 100k back then is worth 397k now
@@brokehomiejuan1638 100k back then is sorth 1 million now mate, inflation is 5% per year
Which is less than some players' WEEKLY wage.
Oddly enough, Paul Mullin, a prolific striker born in 1994, first made his mark at Morecambe in 2014 - the club where Paul Mullin, a prolific striker born in 1974, abruptly ended his career after suffering an injury in 2011...I may be wrong, but surely this is the first instance in the history of the game when two completely unrelated players with the same name had that connection to the same club (one at the beginning of his career, the other at the end). I mean, none of us are completely unrelated, we're all related to each other if you go back far enough, but you know what I mean!
There are 2 Luis Suarez who have been influential for Barca
@@ronaksingh1832 Ooh, that's intriguing, do tell me more Mr Singh!
@@danielkarmy4893 the first Luis suarez played for Barca from 1955-1961 (he won the ballon d’or in 1960) he was influential for Barca and is a club legend. He also played for inter and sampdoria and is highly regarded as one of the most influential Spanish players ever
So there you go Mr Karmy!
@@ronaksingh1832 Haha, thank you! Well, including those two examples from us, that makes a grand total of...two, so far. 😎
Ben Tozer absolutely terrorized Man City in the FA Cup last season with his long throws. Strange to see him in non-league. Ryan Reynolds effect, I suppose.
Was at cheltenham in league 1 left for the money..
Tozer went for £200k allegedly on £1,500 p/w to £3,500 p/w. Wrexham buying there way out of the NL. Next year the FFP system will include the NL. Let’s see how long or much money the owners are prepared plow in before they become bored
@@edwhittle8580 They won't be bored till the team stalls for a while, and the complete opposite is happening right now.
Near promotion,
great spot in the FA cup etc...
@@monrow1961 Let’s hope not Alex as it’s the loyal fans who have to pick up the pieces if it goes pear shaped. Ru$hden & Diamonds a classic example. Who would’ve thought Max Griggs who bank rolled the club would be forced to move his Dr Marten factory abroad and walk away from his club
He's my favourite player at Wrexham. Watching those long balls sail into the box is always a thrill.
You could have mentioned Jakub Blaszczykowski in your last video. Playing for Wisla Krakau since 2019 he earns just a few hundred Euro per month (due to legal regulations so that he is allowed to play for his club) and donates that money to a children's home, so that he doesn't earn anything but is still playing for the club. He still could have had a contract earning him 1-2 mio. a year or at least a few hundred thousands.
This is English/Welsht teams in the FA only. There's probably plenty of other players in other leagues around the world. I hope he does a video on that too.

The list will all be Wrexham, Stockport, Chesterfield players 🤣🤣 big Wrexham fan myself and I would never have thought we'd be paying a player £3k a week 🤦🏽♂️ I also do match day vlogs for each game so if you enjoy vlogs you'll probably enjoy them! Great video 👍🏻
Great vid alfie, this is right up my street, 20 years ago i was gettin 70 a game in non league. i was 18 and still in school. roll on twenty years later and i have had two broken ankles and broke. unbelievable a/c skills, you might be in the wrong job...........
have you done already the Premier League's highest earner each year? It'd be interesting to see how much it may have grown (also the average wage but that could be way harder if not documented already).
Should do a video of the rising stars of non-league football [step3- onwards] or teams with potential to climb the leagues
So glad to see my team Stockport finally get some attention in one of your videos (I make videos on them btw alfie)
Love the analysis and voice.
Love this mate, top stuff!
You should do a video on the lowest earners in League One- this is the third tier of English football where Sunderland play in and who recently were playing in the Premier League. I believe that players at a few clubs AFC Dons, Morecambe and Accrington Stanley are maybe getting £2,000 a week and they are playing in League One.
This is such a great suggestion 👏
Always love the content. National League and League Two should have more promotions/relegation places between the two leagues. Quality in NL is becoming ridiculous.
No way did you show Daisy Hill's ground. 2nd biggest club in Bolton 😜
Will be interesting to do the same next season, with the wage cap in place, some of these clubs are in for a shock if they don’t get promoted.
Paul Mullin, Scott Quigley, John Rooney!!!
I think a video titled 7 clubs liquidated where are they now would be good.
Plenty of clubs who bounced back like Telford United, Halifax, Chester and Nuneaton before falling again. And plenty of clubs who didn't bounce back like Scarborough, Rushden & diamonds, Gretna, Northwhich Victoria and your local club North Ferriby. Obviously too soon to mention Bury Afc or Macclesfield but maybe honourable mentions. Explaining how each club went bust, the fall out after, whether they kept the stadium etc
How you haven’t mentioned Hereford is beyond me in this list
@@samdash5136 my bad! Good shout
"..of Scary Movie IV fame." LOL. Nicely done.
Re: Paddy Madden, Plymouth Argyle are known as the Pilgrims, Yeovil Town are known as the Glovers
You can't do James Earl Jones dirty like that. The guy is a legend 😂
Kid in my town Boston Lincs I know of Oliver Sylvester often offered hundreds a game to sign for VILLAGE teams around Boston/Spalding way.
Giving a thumbs up just for the pics of Daisy Hill fc. It's a great little club
Thanks for this information
When Rooney signed for Salford from Aberdeen it brought to light the fact that conference teams were not subject to fair play rules, and that’s why they could offer so much for him
seeing sarce makes me sad, he was such a good player for Argyle
Things like this always remind me of when I used to play Championship Manager and David Wetherall would end up on 10k a week whilst Bradford were in League 2 as he'd still be on his long Premier League contract as they tumbled down the leagues.
As a Cambridge United supporter, I miss Paul Mullin. I was really surprised with the move but once I heard who bought Wrexham, I wasn’t as surprised. We could really use him in League One but I wish him well nonetheless.
As I U’s supporter I feel the same way, though despite the money it’s still interesting he picked the national league over the championship
@J4mtart he may have said that but realistically he wanted money and to move back to the north
At least you have big joe i miss joe good luck in the fa cup
Moved closer to his family also
Some teams in the national league north and south could hold their own in league 2 these days...standard to really good and some teams have serious backing.
Great video 👊🏿
I can remember when legend Peter Shilton was on 5k a week. Is it any wonder clubs are going bust and fans can't afford tickets any more.
Truro City were a team struggling in the in Western Football League 1....in 2005 the club were bought by a very wealthy local man..who had a vision of getting Truro City to the football league..He signed players form higher up the pyramid and invested heavily in a player from Plymouth Argyle reserves called Stewart Yetton...he signed a ridiculous contract rumoured to be £500pw...plus a £1000 per goal bonus..he played 309 matches and scored 219 goals..in 2006/07 they ran away with the Western league 1 title 115 points scoring 185 goals..2007/08 won the Western Premier League 103pts scoring 132. They won the FA Vase in 2007 and continued through the Southern League to the National Conference South but financial trouble hit the owner in 2011....New owners took over and they are currently in Southern League...ground issues are holding them back...
As I commented on the 0:04 video, your information about Renato Augusto is wrong. You might have missed a 0 in your research. Renato Augusto makes R$ 800k/month in Corinthians.. that's about 107k pounds a month, so £26k a week, not 2.6k
I thought that was a bit strange!
@@tonybates7870 yes, as soon as I heard it on the orignal video I went and checked.. Alfie didn't respond, tho :/
Even in Scotland, Junior (level above amateur, but below semi-pro) are paid in “expenses”, and there are often signing fees. A lot of the junior teams in Scotland are owned by wealthy, albeit not massively, people.
Are there any recorded cases of players taking less money weekly in that sort of instance so they’re not in a higher tax bracket and take home more?
You said Paddy Madden played under Gary Johnson at Plymouth Argyle. I think you meant to say Yeovil Town.
Love the "the great James Earl Jones of scary movie 4 fame" 🤣
If any of these teams don't get promoted this season they are screwed as there's a wage cap next season.
Wrexham aren't going anywhere
The cap is only on new players. If these teams spend big BEFORE they get promoted it won't effect them 😂
🤣Stop spouting rubbish, wage cap is for new players thats why most of them will be on 3+ year contracts
@@lewis8634 well I got my facts wrong some twat told me there's a wage cap next season ffs Torquay are going to be in this league forever.
King Kabongo will always make fans cry
The gap between national league and L2 is so small right now. I think there are 8-10 non league teams who would easily survive in league 2.
They should do a 1 off summer where bottom 10 in L2 and Top 10 in NL playoff for the L2 spots, would be a crazy tournament
@@downtimecards5937
Yeah they should lol it’s a shambles that there’s only 1 automatic promotion but there’s 3 in league two. That would definitely even it out.
You mentioned my team Bodo Glimt!😊
After seeing the masterbucks I'm sure people know who Pual Mullin is....
Clayton Donaldson was a staple in the Brentford Side a few years ago! always played with his heart but not much with his feet 😂
We love him at york, shame the board don't show the heart he does.
super paul mullin if ya know ya know
The master bucks
Can you do a video on wrexhams downfall to non league, close administration, and subsequent recent Hollywood takeover
This would be a brill vid
What a different a year makes , Paul Mullin top scorer in they National League last season, and Wrexham 🏴 Top of the League at present.Paul Mullin is an excellent signing for us and with him on board promotion looks likely this year 👍🏴
I must say, watching Wrexham on CZcams here in Australia (we don't get MOTD) over the past few months has been fantastic. They seem to be so sharp, confident and hungry and are extremely entertaining to watch.
Been following them from the netherlands, he scored a third of all the goals this season so far and his 2 goals from today against bromley earned a valuable 3 points to extend the lead. Hoping for that promotion!
As an accountant and football fan this video brought me great joy😂
you know any dodgy accountants? asking for a mate haha
When y'all say "per week" is that just for the duration of the season or is that how their annual salary divides up by 52
If you wanted to be specific you could include the likes of aryan rahiky on loan from Aston Villa or other loan players
I know this should weird but there is a team in the Macedonian first division who where consistently top 2 and then one season just finished dead last and can't find anything of it and it could make an interesting video
I get the feeling referring to Yeovil as Plymouth Argyle was deliberate mistake , given the fact he got their nickname right :)
You did James Earl Jones dirty there :D
Do the top 7 clubs outside Europe
alfie, make an updated highest payed players in the league of ireland. the highest wages have increased since the last video, mind that it’s the off season now and a player like wilfried zahibo probably won’t be in the league next year
Crazy how much our wrexham players are getting paid 😳 also want to mention there was a rumour mullin is getting paid double what's in this video not sure how true though
Adam Rooney's having a party bring your vodka and your Charlie!!!!!
They're now top, with a game in hand over Notts County
Day 62 : Every professional seasons of one player ranked from worst to best ( Messi, Pele ,Ronaldinho hell even Raheem Sterling I will take it )
How about Titus Bramble?
Marcus Madison at Spalding United in on a massive wage that level
After seeing Dalot’s resurgence at United - 7 players Man United shouldn’t have sold in the post Fergie era. Jonny Evans, Depay comes to mind but I’m sure there are more!
Evans wasn't good enough and depay is shit, always was at united, I'm very happy both are gone.
Evans, Zaha, Michael Keane, Depay, Blind, Depay, Januzaj... Would be a good list
@@wwehdizzle all of them would of been squad players at best, Evans very error prone, looks good at Leicester but couldn't handle playing at united wasn't good enough, Zaha he's the one on the list I'd say has a chance of playing for us, but maybe he just looks good as the main man at a small club, Keane isn't even close, not even as good as Evans, blind good versatile squad player, I liked him, but couldn't play in centre back as he's too small, slow and weak, not got the energy for cdm and too slow for left back, depay very overrated and predictable, januzaj doesn't even stand out at his own club.
@@jhaych In Evans case you have to take into account, the remaining centre backs where Jones, Smalling & Rojo
Everyone forgetting Evans and Rio held the record with Van Der Sar for 12 clean sheets in a row. Never should have been sold.
NYCFC WON THEIR FIRST MLS CUP ( before the Dead Bulls) Any coverage?
-Your boi in Queens.
renato augusto's current salary at corinthians is about 1 million Brazilian Reais per month, something like 40k pounds a week
This was one I absolutely knew most of the names on this list simply because I’ve played Wrexham as my Football Manger save. Got them double promoted in back to back seasons to league one with that core of Hayden, Tozer, Mulin and Jones. Jones was my first major transfer out because he wanted to go back to the Scottish premiership after a season. Hayden is my captain still 3 consecutive seasons. Tozer’s contract is a pain in the ass to move now getting paid $367k annually in league 1 and Mulin begins to hit his effectiveness ceiling once getting here.
I'm considering an FM22 Wrexham save, trying something a bit different to the norm. Any tips?
@@dannydarkspace most of the young players on your team aren’t worth it so don’t be attached. They are mostly nice backups or emergency backups. Bickerstaff is probably the one young player who could be something but he refuses to leave on any loan whatsoever despite never playing.
Most of what you need to win back to back promotions to get you to League One. So focus on bringing in young guys who can contribute now but also develop with your team as you progress through the leagues level by level so that when it comes time for a lot of these veterans to be sold you have ready developed players.
Use Luke Young as a regista whenever you aren’t an overwhelming underdog. Him and Jones will be your best assist players your first season. Also Hayden is your captain and keep him a right center back. Hossanah is the top young guy on your team who if given time and training can become a championship level player.
Use your partnership with Liverpool for loans, particularly when you are looking for attacking wings to compliment Mulin.
Also use Dior Agus, the guys work rate will help you knock off giants and win games. Like him, Mulin, Hayden, Lennon and Hossanah are all still on my team in league 1.
I suggest running a 4-1-3-1-1 formation your first season because you can get a ton of easy goals in the national league with outlet passes to the striker in the national league.
If you decide to run a traditional 4-3-3 DM your front 3 should always be Angus, Mulin and Mcaiden that first year.
Be ready to upgrade your strike team by the time you get the league 1. Mulin is good enough for that level, but his lack of intelligence and composure compared to say a veteran like Nakai Wells from Bristol City, who should be available on a free after your double promotion, it becomes noticeable that your attack is struggling because Mulin becomes an inconsistent primary striker at league 1 and you start to see more contributions from your wings and center midfielders. You can still use Mulin in that role and as a shadow striker, but get an upgrade when you get there for when you get to the championship and the young striker you will develop and replace the upgrade.
Ask your board to invest in youth recruitment when you see the preliminary recruiting, you should end up with back to back excellent classes. For instance I have a 16 year old center back I developed as my rotation back for Hayden and Lenon.
Also, always target Lenon on corners.. He is a heading machine
Doing a wrexham cm too. In the championship. Heyden, Mullins, and Davies are all still starters. Just brought in neco Williams who is from wrexham
How do British people memorize all these clubs ? The non league system alone there is bigger than some countries whole football league’s combine. Do you know how many players playing in England’s non league thats likely just underrated or isn’t getting media attention but can play in league one or maybe higher ? When your football system is that large you can bet there’s players flying under the radar that’s very talented. It’s hard to keep tabs on so many players.
Can you do a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now.
The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore.
How they went up the English football leagues.
Fun fact: The Welsh clubs in the English league system actually represent England whenever they play in any European competitions.
Swansea was the last example in the Europa league. They had an England flag when their name got drawn.
and why is that? don't they have their own FA?
Why?
@@rafekatchadorian465 the clubs were formed before the welsh fa and league system was formed, so they started out in the english system, and when the welsh leagues were formed, a move would have represented a drop in prestige for them so they stayed in the english system
paul mullin in fifa is a goal machine
Info taken from Football Manager I presume?
Some footballer might be overpaid but this suggestion is not:
Day 8: Top 7 football clubs that have similar logos (FC Barcelona and Consolat Marseille, Benfica Lisbon and Hamm Benfica)
Sam deering was on this list like 2 or 3 years ago haven't watched yet but I doubt he's on there again
Well, this calls for a documentary on Wrexham - ideally at the end of this season, that is.
Clayton donaldsons a beast I know a manager for a non league club up my street won’t mention which one, they tried to sign him this season but it was just too much for their budget. :/
That’s ok half the Ipswich team are on 9 or 10 grand a week ,give us a couple of years we will be non league if we are not careful ,and most are on 3 or 4 year contracts .
This is interesting, but of course only accounts for the basic wage - not bonuses etc! So, realistically, any of these performing well, should achieve rather a bit more than the basic wages stated in this video
Video Idea: Is the gap between the 'Big Six' and the rest of the Premier League shortening - are the Big six teams getting worse and other teams getting better?
In what way is the gap shortening? Because Leicester and west ham are able to compete with Man U, Arsenal, and Tottenham? Because Chelsea, City, and Liverpool are consistently turning teams over week after week…
How much is the average salary im the spfl (bar the old firm clubs)?
I’d say around 4k per week. Maybe a bit higher. Only the Edinburgh clubs, Aberdeen, Dundee United can really reliably hand out wages like that, and even then the majority of the players on those teams will be on lower wages. All in all probably around 2.5/3k.
Where do these non league clubs get the revenue to pay this sort of money? Seems crazy to me IF these figures are true! On another note HITC Sevens, where do you get this information from??
Premier league revenue trickles down the leagues. It’s why league 1/2 teams can oftentimes outbid top flight Scottish teams on players even though they have tiny attendances.
No wonder small clubs are going to the wall players wages these days are obscene the wages in the premier league has had a knock effect down the scale.
The national league is such an exciting league. It's a shame it only has 2 promotion spots.
Rooney was on 3.600 a week lad, did mint for us in national league even in our first season in L2.
Wayne Rooney ? That’s badass
Abu Ogogo for Southend is on £2,500 apparently. Criminal amount for a player who doesn't (want to?) perform.
Whao cheers lad I had no idea about the good things happening at Wrexham awesome 😎 I'll be keeping a eye on them from now on.

Not saying that you made a bad video but I’m a Notts county fan and I know that mullin and I know have crazy this sounds but they must have offered over 10000 a week as he was offered 9500 grand from a league two side
Big up wrexham, been far too long since ive been able to use them on fifa
You can still use them on fifa 22 lol
Asif Daisy Hill Football Club got mentioned my local village team 😂
Renato augusto! What a player!
Are non league players paid for 52 weeks or is it just during the playing season?
The year. Unless if they are playing for a semi-pro or amateur club, then it depends (I think)
The year, since Wrexham are officially a professional football team. The wages for semi pro/amateur players would vary based on the club standing.
@@hahalol147 the wages at Wrexham are better than the wages at quite a few League One teams.
Predictions for Forest v Hull Saturday ?
I'll go ahead and say 2-0 Forest
Shouldn't these levels be fully non professional? It's really sustainable for these clubs to be spending these wages. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it doesn't make sense to me.
