Top 50 Earners In Football +1

Scram are you crazy that list is complete sh*te. There is no-way Daren Bent earns that money. Are Torres and Gerrard on that money at Liverpool? more to the point can you prove it. Then we have Giggs on the list, Where are Paul Scholes, Gary Neville etc. Portsmouth would be bust if they were paying Sol Campbell that money. Govou, Pauleta and Juninho Pernambucano also on the list? The list is rubbish.
Also Jol publically stated he wanted a defender not an attacker. Two/three weeks before he got the sack

The Torres figure is wrong,he took a pay cut to sign with liverpool and is on 90 grand a week.

You can't say theres no way that players arent on that kind of money unless you have personal access to their finances , it could be true though unlikely in some cases

Lyon have gotten to the latter stages of the Champions League for years now so thats bound to have had some effect on their coffers.Added to that the fees they have received for the likes of Malouda €21m , Abidal €15m , Essien €35m , Diarra €26m , Tiago €13m etc leads me to believe they are not short a bob or two. Plus with the television deal in place in the UK , such wages are not impossible even to some of the midtalble teams.

anyone know what wes brown is currently earning, and what he is being offered in the new contract? I think its crazy if he is not happy with 70K that i think he has been offered, its only really this season hes become established in the 1st team.

Ok I'll let you all debate the credability of this site and indeed the article as it says about "a photocopied document" doing the rounds.
I hope it's wrong because it's made a right t**t out of me!

Some Russian fella bought them around 18 months ago.

Right, we all know that list is codswallop but Totti's income (leaked in the recent publication by the outgoing Italian government of all citizens' tax returns) was €10m in 2005. How much of that came from his Roma salary I don't know.
