(2) Portmore United
Clive Marshall - JM$12 million to JM$15 million, majority goes into salaries.
(3) Harbour View
Clive Juredini - On a given moth, Juredini, who never wanted to go into the specifics about his club's financial situation, said "playing in the Premier league will cost you more than you earn".
(4) Boys' Town
Andrew Price - According to Price, to date Boys' Town have spent between $6 million and $8 million for this season. Boys' Town president Junior Lincoln expalined that Boys's Town wage bill as a result of paying players had risen to about $700,000 per month. Insurance bill runs up to $50,000

$500,000 to $550,000 per month for payroll.
(8) Reno
Fitzroy Cooper - " On a monthly basis, it cost us about $1 million in total expenses when we look at salaries for players & coaches".
(9)Constant Spring
"combined, Lyn estimates the club has to spend roughly between $9 million & $11 million per year." "From an overall perspective, if you are going off an $11 million estimate per club, it is basically $132 million chasing a $2 million prize total; Lyn commented".
(NPL is big Business)
"I dont' think corpoarte Jamaica is gravitating towards sports right now, the product is there & it is worth sponsoring but why they don't see an opportunity in it is a question only a corporate Jamaica person could answer, Lyn said".
(10) Tivoli
Hon. Mr. Edward Seaga - "Tivoli, like all the clubs, are struggling to stay a float the sale of Ricardo Fuller and Jermain Johnson brought in some money to help offset the operational cost between $10, million $15 million annually. But according to Seaga, the premeir league is in danger of slowly rotting away".
(11) Wadadah & Seba
Seba United's manager Bruce Gaynor said it is costing his club $12 million annualy to participate in the league.
You know what? Why should a company invest so much while the youth are not being paid. Much less taking into consideration the rest of slackness taking place.
Where is the UN when you need them? This is the worse form of exploitation of young men. Work hard, no pay and plus expect to put out to stay in the program? WOW
Why should the companies invest over $132 million each year for a prize of $2 million?
OK it is not the prize but keeping the youth off streets. But that sounds good if they were really getting all these monies these monkeys said they are paying out. yes Maximus called them monkeys.
The fact of the matter is the league is a sham for parasites in pretense of helping the sport and the nation's youth.
For $132 million per year for the NPL (US$2 million) a professional league could be operated all expenses paid for a decade (10 years).
I go againts the grain of injustice and slavery. If the JFF stands for this I am against them, if the ites here stand for this I am against them too as always.
In fact I have know all this for years so that is why I always bash these faggots/parasites and monkeys.
Tivoli Gardens FC is the only exception. They are a true club.
There may be one or two the most that are in the same class as Tivoli. Boys Town is trying, good program and intentions, the other few that are trying they know who they are
ok i know that we on here can come together and buy one a them poor clubs out there and then all them people on here who always saying what they doing wrong, can put there idea to the test, a mean we cannt lose can we? Princess for di coaching, Maximus for the finance director, jamalt to handle our one or two tranfers a year( not only to england :-) ). dedread to sell our tv rights abroad, before you know it we will all be millionairs.

I can't believe it took so long for someone to say the obvious.
The word "pro" as in "pro-league" means people are making money, therefore people will be getting paid. This will only happen if the game is of a relatively high standard, making people want to pay to see it or buy the jersies, or buy TV rights etc.
Football must be profitable in Jamaica. Why would club officials continue to pump money into it. The problem is that only some are seeing the profits and it is not reported. In football everything is so bandoolo. Ask Boxhill, Eddie and all the other heads if any profits are made! They should know what is going on as they run things.
max i know its not any joke thing but what is the jff thier for? surely they should have some kind of setup which make sure that the players get paid and that a certain amount of money made filter down through the club or into some kind of yought program because they saying yought is the way. But that will never happen at the JAMAICAN FOOLS OF FERDERATION(JFF).
yeah they are privately owned, but surely they play by the JFF rules and regulations and fifa, i am sure that the jff can ban any football club in jamaica or any player.
This is so funny. If a local player is bought by a foreign club the JFF gets a percentage of the deal, but at the same time they don't care if the players gets paid at home. Sounds like they are just interested in the money.
I think when the league became Pro (semi-pro, whatever) all the players must be registered with the JFF. With that clause the jff stands to get a percentage of any deal made. I am not incharge of the JFF so I cannot verify that. Ask Boxhill

All I know is CON game going on in Jamaica when it comes to NPL players getting their hard earn pay after a hard days work M-S
NPl players are like Mexicans who work in the US for nothing and even when no pay they just have to stick around until the money rolls again as there is nothing else but the corner.
Plus the other benefits when there is no cash like fame so you can get a whole eap a ghetto gal dem after a big win on Sunday.
The fact is most of the people in charge of the NPl clubs were former old boys of the NPl and now they want their due. CASSSSSH baby. Cold hard CASH.
