    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
