Huge difference between Coloccini, Guthrie wages at Newcastle
There is a chasm in wages between Newcastle United teammates Fabricio Coloccini and Danny Guthrie.
The Mirror says Guthrie has exposed the massive gulf in players’ wages at table topping Newcastle United.
The midfielder was forced to reveal in court this week that he earned £4,000 a week.
And that means it takes him FIVE MONTHS to earn what Argentine defender Coloccini banks in a week.
Guthrie had to go public with his pay packet after being caught for speeding. He was fined £500 and given four points on his licence, after magistrates demanded to know how much he earned and spent. His outgoings were said to be £6,000 a month.
The huge disparity in pay levels between first team stars at St James’s Park means that Coloccini, signed for £12million from Deportivo La Coruna on £80,000 a week, and Guthrie are worlds apart in terms of earnings - but still expected to do a job to get United promoted.

This does not surprise me for a number of reasons:
1) For years we have wasted money on unknowns who go on to trouser a fortune with no effort or heart given in return (Boumsong, Luque, Viana, etc etc.)
2) Ashley is trying to make the club financially stable, so you have to cu. His arrogance, dismissal of the fans and measly financial support to Chris hughton aside.
3) If Danny Boy wants a pay rise, he better start justifying the faith we have in him, with performances, because if he is a lightweight and a liability at times in the championship (which he is) he is definately gonna be a non starter in the premier league.
4) It should be recalled that Colloccini is only still at newcsatle because no-one was daft enough to pay us our money back, after he was found to be woefully lacking in the premier league. hopefully his continued improvement will last until we are safe NEXT season around mid (premier league) table.
