I remember in Football Manager, the later versions, you'd get details on how much staff was making a week and I was quite surprised how much a scout would make.

I'm not saying FM has it nailed to the nickle but I'm sure they have an idea and if anything they'd make that salary lower than from what they've gathered from all their own "FM scouts" around the world.
I asked around and in FM 2012 Serghino, in the game, gets somewhere around £10,000 a week for being a scout. Could this be anywhere near the truth?
