So just back to my hotel feeling very angry after watching England get beaten by the sweaties….. Luton also got stuffed by a team who finished below us last season, didn’t get prem parachute money and had a transfer embargo. Feel free to check how much their ceo is paid….ours takes 25% of all season ticket sales …and don’t give me yet but Brown gets a mill…he is an employee …we are rotten!!!

What bit is made up? Going to be on the train for 5 hours so you have lots of time to do some research….and you question my moniker 😁
As of the financial year ending May 2022, the highest-paid director at Cardiff City, identified as CEO Ken Choo, was paid £121,000 annually, which averages to approximately £10,083 per month. This marked a significant reduction from previous years,linked to a move to a part-time role at the club.

It's a bit disingenuous to say he takes 25% of season ticket sales. For the PL season it may well be about right that those two figures are about the same, but there's not going to be anything in his contract that he is entitled to x%.
We don't know what he got paid last season, but will find out at the end of March/ start of April. It will be another year before we find out what he's paid this season. Obviously I'd expect it to be much lower than the PL season and there would be big questions to ask if that isn't the case.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by The Questioner on 15/2/2026, 10:01:15, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
Is it disingenuous ? I would argue that season ticket sales are the bed rock of our club and a quarter of them going to pay the ceo is too much and not necessary. Appreciate his income is likely to be less now but suspect season ticket revenue is also lower and if we finish mid table in the third division which looks likely, less still again next season.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by ELH on 15/2/2026, 11:25:54, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
It's very selective. You are looking at the PL season when all matchday income was less than 5% of our total income. Of course if his level of compensation remained as high now when most of the other revenue is gone, going or dramatically reduced that would be wrong.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by The Questioner on 15/2/2026, 13:24:19, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
The £850k is when we were in the champ ….its to much and not sustainable. The £1m + was also to much …£250k pa for a third division club ceo imo is decent and probably more than most CEO’s in our division are earning.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by ELH on 15/2/2026, 13:53:03, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
Are you referring to the 2024 accounts where he received 817k + 41k pension contributions? That was the PL season. The accounts for last season haven't been published yet so there's no publicly available information as to what he was paid as far as I know.
It's difficult to compare CEO earnings at football clubs as there are so many different structures and many in CEO or broadly equivalent positions aren't company directors so don't hav their remuneration published. From what I've seen GS's remuneration isn't excessive compared to genuinely comparable positions in the same divisions. Although of course it's still a lot of money.
I think Watford's structure with their CEO is actually fairly comparable.
Last time we were in L1 GS earned just over 250k including pension, but that probably included a promotion bonus. I doubt he will earn that this year. So taking in to account inflation your figure of 250k is probably about reasonable. But it will be over a year before it's published.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by The Questioner on 15/2/2026, 15:50:55, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
I agree it’s difficult to compare but with gates of 11k and very competitive season ticket prices we simply can’t afford the kind of money he is being paid. I don’t know but assume his remuneration comes into the accountability we are allowed to spend and an extra half a million could have kept Morris here for example. If in the latest set of accounts he has received £250k then imo that’s reasonable….I would however suspect it’s going to be a lot higher.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by ELH on 15/2/2026, 16:04:28, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
The next set of accounts will be the Championship season so I would expect it to be more than 250k too, but less than in the PL.
His remuneration counted towards PL and Championship FFP/PSR regulations, but I think L1 is players only. Anyway it's largely irrelevant as to a factor for whether we could keep Morris or not as in the current season we have no issue with the squad cost rules due to the parachute payments.

I could be guilty of picking up on that to be fair so apologies if I'm wrong, although I was sure it was the 3CR interview where it was said - or at least inferred strongly that it was more than 50% (which I did listen to at the time).
But if it's 50% then the point that it needs adding to the £4m in Joey's table still stands.

I've tried to answer those where I can when the actual facts are 'out there' - like the claim that all transfers are fully data driven, or that no manager since NJ has had any input on signings etc but to be quite honest the shit, lies and accusations thrown back at me make me question why I bother.

Re: Sore loser
Posted by Voice of reason on 15/2/2026, 16:16:20, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
He worked in the role of CEO but not under that title for years WITHOUT a salary including the time he was instrumental in saving the club from oblivion. He was much later persuaded to leave a very highly salaried role in business unrelated to the club in order to run the club and the search for a relocation site and oversee the project of a new stadium. All the vitriolic rantings blaming him that footballers didn’t play well enough and his being overpaid are disingenuous and outrageous. This was once a site where discussions were logical and supporters supported, it now seems full of cry babies and attention seekers spouting unsubstantiated bollocks. No team is immune from losing matches they ought to have won and most teams go through boom and bust regarding success. I’m done with it.

Why is it total rubbis?. I didn’t state when he became a paid CEO. I said he was basically in the role without pay for years before being persuaded to become full time CEO. He was in a similar role unpaid from 2003 five years before he became full time and paid. Pay attention.

Tbf it’s a long time ago but from memory ( you clearly have a better one ) it wasn’t hugely different to what he was earning at Siemens but will take your word that he took a pay cut.
As an aside do you think he is paid to much ?
Re: Sore loser
Posted by crumpsall on 15/2/2026, 18:29:38, in reply to "Re: Sore loser" MIB
I am fairly certain he worked for practically nothing for the first couple of years, and then still very little for a few more too.
I was around then too, and in the lead up to 2020 taking over, so surprised that we don't know each other.
I think that the whole picture of his earnings is distorted by those bonuses which had rolled over.
I'm not at all comfortable with talking about any individual's earnings to be honest but believe they should always be taken in context. Many clubs employ CEOs through related companies so their incomes are not visible for instance.
One thing I do know is that GS works his bollocks off for the club and the personal shit that gets thrown his way is totally out of order.
In general, I think lots of jobs are ludicrously overpaid,including in football (agents leeching so much out of players and clubs, for instance) but that's a far wider subject. My bugbears on that also include self-rewarding directors of all sorts of businesses. And huge salaries and bonuses paid in the public sector too. That's totally out of control.
Re: Sore loser
Posted by The Questioner on 15/2/2026, 20:59:34, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
We might know each other but look 18 years older 😂.
I agree he works his bollox off but is also very well rewarded ( imo over rewarded for a club of our size and revenue stream ).
I know you don’t agree and totally respect that view but imo we need a change and some fresh ideas.
That’s not me being anti 2020 I believe they have achieved beyond our greatest expectations but are in danger of losing that legacy which would be a real shame.
Agree about football agents ….i have stories which imo are criminal.

Posted by crumpsall on 15/2/2026, 15:18:30, in reply to "Re: Sore loser" MIB
Your use of the word salary is misleading:
salary (noun) salaries (plural noun) a fixed regular payment, typically paid on a monthly basis but often expressed as an annual sum, made by an employer to an employee, especially a professional or white-collar worker.
It has been regularly pointed out that the first of those 2 years you mention included rolled-over bonuses which had not been taken over a number of years (quite a lot if I recall correctly) and I think the next year was similarly based.
I am not commenting on the figures, but as so much re the club is being stated as fact when it isn't, or only partly so, or conjecture, I think it's important to try and be clear and not misrepresent,
Re: Sore loser
Posted by ELH on 15/2/2026, 15:14:30, in reply to "Re: Sore loser"
Depends how you look at it. That was a promotion bonus and he is probably the individual who over the years did the most to get us to that position. From the owners point of view the promotion will have massively increased the value of the football club and it would be expected that he would share some of that.
Would it be right for only the players and manager to receive a bonus? I do believe other employees received some too.
I think also if you look at your what other execs have received on promotion it isn't unusual.
Don't get me wrong, I do actually think exec pay on the whole (not just football) is generally excessive. I also don't think he's been doing a good job in recent seasons.

We have a waiting list for season tickets, so the revenue from sales shouldn't go down.

Re: Sore loser

I think the waiting list has gone. Ticket prices in the bobbers didn’t change last year but now includes cup games which effectively means less revenue…I suspect if they attempt to increase prices next year people won’t renew. I don’t know but if we do finish mid table suspect our season ticket revenue next year will be less than this year.

A salary of 1.2 million and then 800k is in the public domain to be scrutinised, particularly when we’ve had two very poor seasons. Clubs with out sort of gates don’t pay anywhere near the figures seen over the last 6/7 seasons.

I did some digging after you said that in the Brickies. Please see 2020 Holdings report of the 2nd April 2025. Read section 16 first then section 7. They detail the A Shares, explain the dividends and the need for continued employment to get those dividends.
If you then turn to 2020 Developments and look at section 4 of the 2nd April 2025 accounts you will see how much has been paid to those two directors. Those amounts are on top of the payments by 2020 Holdings.
If you want to know about how the milestone dividends work then see the 13th February 2020 resolutions. Sections 8 and 9 deal with shares and dividends for the A Shareholders and the rest.

The document regarding the share entitlement of GS and MM is publicly available on Companies House, but not exactly an easy read.
It's a while since I looked at it, but it's certainly not as simple as saying they will own 25% of the stadium. There are big restrictions on the A shares e.g. they cannot simple be sold. There is an entitlement to a share of distributed profits (e.g. dividends) from 2020 Developments, but no guarantee that there will be any.
Assuming that the Trust are reviewing the accounts again this year and inviting questions, I think it would be a good one for anyone interested to ask about given this document is in the public domain but not well understood.

It's also about control (which has a value too). I think you simplify it...if they really aren't worth that much, why have them? Why not be completely upfront in layman's language if it's all ok? And why would an Everton supporter have that as remuneration - isn't that a bit unusual?
Instead it appears we have to be like Crumps and find a top accountant to explain it to us.

Is the CEO in overall control of the club or are the rest of 2020 still advising in what the best way forward would be? I think this is where the real truth lies.
The CEO was rightly rewarded for his hard work from the start and to get to the PL, but the past 2 seasons have been abysmal. He is a Luton fan so surely he would maybe take a pay cut for the best interests of the club itself? If we are/were saddled with signings from the PL and the huge wages, then surely that should also apply to board level for failures on the pitch?

I'd be very confident that senior wages go down as we go down in leagues - that can be seen in the accounts for players and staff. Whether, as would be fair, it's by the same % as on the way up* will remain to be seen when the accounts are published.
*allowing for inflation say, but largely the same

A top local accountant who is a Luton fan and involved at Loyal Luton so I'd be surprised if you don't know him. He's no big fan of GS for certain but has explained this clearly to LL committee etc and been ignored by certain vocal factions.
Probably because it doesn't suit them

Great. Please tell us laymen more then - thereby putting it to bed. JimmyP ask in this thread as well.
(and can he explain it to LTST too because they didn't know).

I'll ask him to explain it in layman's language and put it on here. He used to be a regular poster. Or if he agrees I'll post it for him (but as I am targeted by 'certain people' it would be better coming from him).
I absolutely agree that the best way to answer misinformation is by providing clarity and better communications. Which I have banged on endlessly about to all and sundry at the club.

I think that would be helpful. My concern is basically that those shares mean that if the club was sold then those directors would receive 25% of the value of that sale between them. What proportion that means etc I don't know. And I haven't done more than skim-read the documents yet so I'm not claiming to know anything at this point.
Originally there were strong suggestions that the stadium ownership would be protected for the club / supporters somehow, I think all manner of ideas were floated like the Trust owning the centre spot and so on. I'd like to understand how that principle has been incorporated, if indeed it has.
And yes, while I was (grudgingly) okay with Gary earning huge bonuses / salaries when successful, the opposite must also apply.

It says certain conditions , of which there are 4 it seems, but doesn't specify what they are . Although presumably condition 4 is completion of the stadium
