that's what Henry Makow keeps referring to on his website,kind of makes sense really,good to see people finally start to wake up to the distraction that is t.v sport,movies etc,now if i could only get the majority to agree with you on this.

I say you are wrong.

65 million GBP over 5 years = $417,000 a week (at exchange rate of $0.60)

But - this includes bonuses, which will be dependant on both the teams performance and results and his own performance.

It also includes image rights, which again, are dependant on the media's and merchandiser's interest in him.

He will pay 50% tax on that, so all up he gets a maximum of $208,000 per week (plus any outside deals he can grab and any winnings on dodgey fixed betting scams)

May sound alot but is probably barely enough to keep him in hookers, coke, lawyers and out of court sexual harrassement settlements.

And - he has to work for up to 90 minutes twice a week (maybe 3 times if they make the European cups / leagues) - for close to 40 weeks per year.
