He's also probably on about one quarter of the annual salary of say, Barry Bannan.

I can't think of too many other industries where the person in charge of everything gets paid such a small proportion of the overall wage bill.

If you pay peanuts etc...

He can't win though, if he was on £1 mill you'd all be moaning about his high wages.
I think £250k is about right for the CEO of a business of our size.

But I'd argue the individual contribution towards the success of the overall business is much greater for footballers than your average shop floor worker.

Perhaps he's paid for performance? 

5th reply is one taking the piss out his performance despite the fact that, in most measures on the performance of a CEO, he's doing pretty well.  I expected it to be in the first 3 but Dave W bought a couple of posts by posting Niall Quinn's salary.

Years of appalling losses, falling turnover, the appointment of a manager like McLeish.....how exactly is he doing well.  No wonder he doesn't earn very much.

I would like to earn not very much like him.

He got top dollar out of Genting and Macron. He seems very amiable.
That's all I got.
