I always liked the Tevez one that included the fines for bookings taken off his wages. The same £8 fine we used to have to play in the Manchester League.

That is €1M every 46 hours for Ronaldo.

What the f**k do you do with €200M in a year when you already have multiple massive houses, cars etc and other hundreds of millions in your McDuck coin vault already?

fair play to the bloke though, if they are going to offer it, you would be silly to say no.

Precisely. While it is utterly obscene with all the problems in the world that people in all professions can get paid these utterly ridiculous sums it's not the player's fault if so many clubs are working willing to throw it around like confetti.

I wonder how much Ronaldo, and other top earners, give to charitable concerns each month. Remembering that Ulises De La Cruz used to send a lot of his, meagre by comparison, earnings home to worthy causes in his town of birth.

Clubs don't just offer this money off their own back. It's pressure from players and their reps to keep pushing them up to be the most paid that does it. And if a club refuses the player's form dips and or they go elsewhere.

It's absolutely the player's fault as well.

If the clubs agrees, then why not?

I mean, if you knew you were good at your job and there was a pretty good chance of your work giving you a raise if you asked, you'd ask.

For the record, Ronaldo does a lot of charity work and by all accounts is actually quite a nice bloke

Agents and players ask for what they think they can get and obviously they're going to try and push for as much as possible (and that becomes easier when you have several clubs chasing them) but that trend was set by idiot clubs putting money over everything else and paying it in the first place

Welcome to the gr££d that is the capitalist system (unfortunately it's the best system there is).

Wouldn't trust some website, especially one that has been accused of blackmail. Come back when there is a credible, transparent source as opposed to the sort of site Donald Trump would get his facts from.

Leyton Orient the latest club to face a WUP for failing to pay tax. In court on Monday apparently.

Really sad to see what has happened to Orient over the last 2/3 years. Seem to have gone from League 1/Division 3 play off finalists about 3 years ago to the possibility of playing league games with Maidenhead next season :shock:

All under the watch of their present Italian owner who bought the club from Barry Hearn just after that play off final and promptly gone though about 9 managers in 3 years.
