I say "earnings" as against wages for good reason.
Now I am all for the worlds best at anything...........tennis/composing/song writing/cycling etc. being well rewarded but..........
I was just reading about one premier league player. No where near the highest paid at ONLY £68K per week but but but...............
He gets an additional L/S for each goal (depending on how many per game)............PLUS £31K for each assist.
So............
In a recent game he scored two goals and had one assist. This meant for that one game he earned
£68K.........wages
£85K..........for 2 goals
£31K..........for one assist
Total...........£116K
There are some players out there earning "wages" of nearly £500K per week. I have no idea how much they must get for goals & assists but I find it almost beyond belief. I enjoy watching football but surely there has to come a time when it simply implodes.
