Do you know how accurate and current those amounts are likely to be?

Its interesting - there is a perception I have read in some Forums here that Indonesia pays players better than does the A-League.

However, on those figues, only Persiya and Persib would have paid more than the $1.9 million AUD (14.7155 billion IDR using an exchange rate of 7745 IDR = 1 AUD) that was the A-League salary cap for 2008/09.

Thus, whilst it may be true for some individuals that they earn better in Indonesia than they could in Australia, in a more general sense it seems unlikely that most Indonesian players would earn significantly more than most A-League players.
 
Sorry. My mistake. That should be Persija and Persik - not Persiya and Persib as I wrote.
 
In a country not always reknoned for its transparency these numbers and players indidvidual salaries do seem to get published with alarming glee.

I think, as we saw a couple of years back with Errol Iba, the best players maybe earn more here than they would do in stralia but there there may be a more equal distribution of money.

any luck iding on jb?
 
I haven't actually looked at jb for a little while - but will try and do some id'ing there later today. Or maybe tomorrow, cos my partner and I are heading off this evening to Canberra Stadium to watch the Australia - Kuwait Asian Cup qualifier.

Another full A-League squad. Should be a good game I think. Don't really care if it isn't tho - both of us just looking forward to the novelty and atmosphere of a big- game, full-house football match in Canberra. Its the first Australia international here since 1996 - so its a very rare sight for Canberra and we will just enjoy that and the result and style of the play won't worry us too much at all!! (Having said that - I DO expect Australia to win, although I have a pretty appalling record of tipping).
