Oh Those "Poor" Football Players!

Click on the article link at the end of my posting to read about an average player's salary in the Premiership in England.

Now remember to double the figure shown in pounds sterling to get the equivalent in American dollars.
The players also don't pay for any of their equipment or travel expenses to away games as well as other 'extras!'
Most of the top league players have a sponsor or sponsors that also pay them a huge amount of money.
Robbie Fowler for example signed a boot deal back in 1999 for what turned out to be about 225,000 pound a year or for 2 years; either way and astronomical amount of money whatever way you look at it.

While some of the lower league players aren't on millionaire's wages, they still can live the good life on the wages that they earn. No wonder most of the foreign players want to come to England and play.

Remember too, the foreign players are not subject to British tax laws, which are as high as 50 percent for the upper wage earners, as they are working as non-residents and don't have to claim the same tax bracket as the citizens themselves, i.e. The British born players.

Sure as scrambled eggs and toast, that is one of the reasons that Beckham left England. It was reported that he was earning 100,000 pound a week, but the tax was 50,000 pound on it!!!!!!
This is the new Canadian money to stop the Muslims from producing it; they cannot look or touch anything to do with nudity. No more counterfeiting by the Muslims.... haha!!!!!!
