Jewell: Hull's Pearson Wrong On Bullard's Wages
Sat 05th Feb 2011 08:24
Boss Paul Jewell has dismissed Hull City's head of football operations Adam Pearson’s claim that Town are paying £20,000 towards loan signing Jimmy Bullard’s £45,000 weekly wage. Writing in Hull’s programme for their 2-2 draw with Leeds on Tuesday, Pearson said that the Blues were paying £321,480 towards Bullard’s salary during his time at Portman Road.
Jewell said: “Everyone talks about his money and I have to say Adam Pearson’s figures have never been that good, but the figures that he’s quoted saying that we’re paying Jimmy are certainly way off.
“I’m a big fan of Adam Pearson’s, I worked with him [at Derby], he’s terrific, but he’s got his figures wrong there.”
Jewell says the Blues are not paying a loan fee for the 32-year-old, who remains contracted to Hull until the summer of 2013 as part of a £5 million move from Fulham during the Tigers’ time in the Premier League, prior to Pearson’s involvement with the East Yorkshiremen.
Town have not officially commented on their share of Bullard’s earnings but sources within the club have hinted at a figure close to the £10,000-a-week initially reported by the Hull Daily Mail which led to Pearson to make an earlier comment on the issue.
Jewell says it helps having Bullard’s optimistic and outgoing approach to life around a club: “He’s a very positive person, obviously he’s had a couple of bad injuries at Hull, but in the two or three years I had him at Wigan I don’t think he ever missed a training session. And you certainly knew he was in.
“He was just infectious. You want to strangle him at times, but he’s a positive person and he wants to play football. He’s missed a lot of football.
“He’s a positive person and he will have a positive effect on training and around the place, and more importantly on the game.”

(Feb 2) Ipswich TWID - Hull: Town are Paying £320,000 for Bullard
Hull City's head of football operations Adam Pearson has reiterated his claim that Town are paying around £20,000 of loanee Jimmy Bullard’s £45,000 weekly wage. Bullard, who scored on his debut for the Blues in last night's 2-1 victory at Derby, is at Portman Road for the remainder of the season.
Pearson says Town are paying £321,480 towards the 32-year-old’s salary: "We're getting nearly £20,000 a week and it's a £320,000 contribution.
“People may sniff at that but in the Championship that's an awful lot of money and more than pays for the three or four players we've brought in."
Sources at Town continue to insist that they are paying a weekly share nearer the £10,000 mark originally reported, although no official confirmation is likely with the Blues rarely if ever making comment on individual players’ earnings.
If Town are paying £20,000-a-week towards Bullard's salary, it would almost certainly mean that the Blues' share of his wages is higher than anyone is currently being paid at Portman Road.
Pearson, who revealed the figures in the programme for Hull's 2-2 draw with Leeds last night, says Bullard’s contract, signed during the Tigers’ time in the Premier League when he moved from Fulham for £5 million, makes up around a fifth of his planned budget for next season: "Jimmy is an undoubted talented player who has two-and-a-half years left at this club.
“His contract alone is 21 per cent of our total playing wage budget for next season so we hope he comes back in the summer match fit and that he's ready to go."
