Villa Player Wages

He earns more each day having slashes than a lot of people earn in a week.

Getting paid £63.60 a minute would be really awkward if it was cash in hand. You'd never find time to get any telly watched.

£63.60 a minute. Every time I had sex i'd earn nearly £50!

Always good fun this type of stuff but I used to work in banking and saw the actual money many  top players were paid.The press figures always exceeded what they were paid in reality.

Footballers are looking like peasants these days compared to the new Mercedes deal for Lewis Hamilton...

£33,333,333 per year
£641,026 per week
£91,575 per day
£3,816 per hour
£63.60 per minute

...I'm not even sure there's a word to describe how obscenely outrageous that is.

What he earns in a day takes me around 5 years. When it's black and white like that it's incredible. And depressing.

At least with him there's the danger element.

Oh Dave but you don't know what I do.

I'm the Smethwick Jack Bauer.

The figures quoted on the BBC £27m per year including bonuses so there's an element of productivity in there. While to us it is an outrageous amount of money, it also has a large degree of individual skill and a high level of danger while someone like Rooney is a quoted figure of £10.5m per year whether he plays or not and can float in and out of games. I'd say his salary is also obscene and outrageous for what he does.

Those figures were taken directly off SSN yesterday...so wouldn't be surprised if they aren't accurate.

Footballers wages are grossly obscene and outrageous for what they do, so I can only imagine high profile sportsman wages are directly linked to sales...Mercedes for example could justify Hamiltons extortionate salary in car sales worldwide.
