Even the kit man is off now

[Coatigan]

Heart and soul of the club. How will we cope.

Came here to say this. He’s clearly well liked by the players.

They'll go on tonight wearing stained kits in protest.

I can see how the novelty could soon wear off. Being in and around players on £100k+ a week flashing the cash. And you’re there with a modest wage trying to survive

Add into this the fact that a fair few pro footballers are cocks ( gosh yes, even city players ) and the perceived dream job will lose its shine over time

£60, 000 for washing the kits! Surely it's nowhere near that high.

According to a leaked report, in 2020 average pay for kitman (person) in the Championship was £33k. The highest being £56k. You'd imagine that was a club that had just come down from the PL.

So £60k probably sounds about right. Though no details on whether it is much different for the head honcho kit person over their minions.

I'm clearly in the wrong profession.

I was told £40k for the assistant kit man

Regular guy leaves regular job.

Twitter: watch us make more of this!


Best of luck to the guy. Or any City employee really. Most folk changing jobs, in fact.

The truth will come out in the wash

 

[Blue Calx]

50-60k a year as a kitman for the best football club on the planet!!
The bloke needs his head testing..Maybe he bumped it a few time skidding across the changing rooms in his y fronts.

He's in for a real shock if he thinks he's getting a job anywhere near 60k in the real world with his CV

I realise why everyone's been having so much fun with the laundry jokes, but in case anyone's not aware, Brandon didn't wash kits. There's a whole big laundry room of lovely ladies who do that. Brandon mostly dealt with the many, many boots used by the squad. (This info is from various documentaries etc over the years.)

With his highly "niche" skill set it's difficult to see what better job he could get but maybe some opportunity has come his way he fancies. My money is on him leaving wasn't entirely his decision.

 

[B\connellblue]

Did he double up as head of IT security ?

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

The power of social media.

Someone on here posted that he could be on 60k a year as a complete guess and now it's an accepted fact and people are amazed Brandon is walking away from a 60k dream job.

I'd be amazed if he was on anything like that as he is just part of the kit team and not even the head honcho.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

fwiw, I’d have guessed at about £50k if I’d put my mind to it. Seems about right in the circumstances of the employer, his skill set and the need for a positive dynamic in the dressing room.

Players are only people you know, they are not Gods. They are just normal people with a bit more money and skills than others but at the end of the day they are just people. :-) So having the kit man's job is just a job.

You wouldn’t say that if you got paid to wash Johnny Stones’ gruds

Washing is for the laundry ladies not the kit (wo)man!! :-) I'd look after JB's boots for him. I'd even lace them.............. NOT!! :-) :-)

So you think he was BOOTED out?

What we doing tonight for a tribute to kit-****?

The whole team are coming out in their grundies and doing a slide on the halfway line. Then if we have another pitch invasion at the end of the season everybody has to strip down to just black budgie smugglers. All in memory of Brandon.
