calculatingInfinity 1,494 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Good, long ass contract that should hopefully end Chelsea's interest completely (well until next year when he gets unhappy again and gets a 350k contract lol). Chelsea should go for something better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_ChrapQaa 192 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry for beign slight off-topic, but if I'm counting correctly Rooney is now best paid player in the world? really not sure but CR(as best paid) is making something about 17m€ per year without bonuses(not sure how much is that) and Rooney is 300k p/w *4 * 12 is 14,4mŁ, well 1 GBP = 1.2168 € so it's 17,5m per year... Am I totally wrong or united is really that stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I totally wrong or united is really that stupid?Looking at gross figures is one thing, looking at net is another. England has very high taxes, the highest in Europe (or even the world?) or so I've heard. So 300K p/w in England is not the same as 300K p/w in Spain. I wouldn't be at all surprised if CR got more money on his account every week despite having lower gross salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 300k is a ridiculous amount of money that no human should ever earn. Would ever be worth.

With all the poverty in the world it's pretty disgusting. Sheer Monopoly moneyIt's funny how clubs don't give a single shit about FFP. I thought it was created to avoid ridiculous situations like this, guess nobody cares really, money keeps flowing and it was naive to think that anybody would want to stop the money flow for some noble reason. The best we can do is hope that those overpaid celebrities give something back through charities and stuff like that, but I have a strong feeling that most of them don't really care about it and do it for PR reasons, which in turn is designed to make them even more money. Disgusting system it is but all we can do is cry about it from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting system it is but all we can do is cry about it from afar.Well it wasn't. It's to stop clubs from spending more than their worth or better put more than they can generate themselves. Our club like many others over last decade benefited from liquidity injections but those do not count toward FFP regulations. You still require some liquidity injections if you want to be in the higher tier/bracket of spending for the rules. If you don't have billionaire to back you up the FFP regulation is much stricter. It doesn't stop a big club like ours from doing anything as long as we keep our debt accumulation within any three year window to below 45 million euros. I'm not sure on the exact figure but if you can afford it FFP doesn't stop you from doing squat, its spending over your means that it controls.

Don't understand how it's "disgusting".It's disgusting because he doesn't need 300k a week.There should be a wage limit of say 250k a week for all players (unless you are the best in the world).
