They each should be getting a salary of over 100k a year! What number have they peaked at? To me that seems quite low, certainly I'd guess its a very low percentage of the people who were downloading prior to them going down a subscription model. Do they fund any of Early's trips abroad for football tournaments or is that paid by his other work? That could be expensive. 100k net is a good salary no doubt, but these days a lot of 9-5ers in IT etc would make that. Wouldnt turn it down myself mind you!

One thing I can say is the money I spend on second captains is money well spent. They have been doing this for so long they have it down to a fine art, but no doubt lots of hours are spent behind the scenes.
