Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
whilst teams are looking at getting wound up , bale is on 600 grand , a week
25 million a year ?
And his sponsorships ?
Nice genuine guy , supremely talented
But this sort of money means that the premier league just doesn't really give a ****
What a disgrace

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
If I walked into a room in Bridgend and there were 100 people I had to talk to for 2 minutes... I’m certain I’d pick you out in 30 seconds

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
Dwayne Johnson earned £1.4m a week last year whilst independent theatre companies went under, disgusting.

All earnings of that level are why this world is going to eat dead rats just before the lights go out

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
If the money filtered down to lower league teams there are plenty of dodgy owners who would mess it up. And the more lower league clubs got the greedier the footballer and their agents would become. Owners of clubs like Macclesfield and Bury would just be rubbing their hands and still getting their clubs in to debt.

Thats another question , football should be reformed with wage caps etc and community involvement should be improved and fit and proper person checks increased
Are you saying the big clubs that used to distribute money to the lower clubs before the establishment of the premier league and struck a deal to keep more of the money in football shouldnt give any money to the teams outside the Premier league at all ?
If that's the case one day , we will have liverpool , spurs , United and four or five others left .

Ludicrous money of course, but in one week he pays more tax than most of us in a lifetime.

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
I'd rather he gets it over anyone else who is directly in the food chain. He is the product, and there are lots of people making a fortune off the back of him.

well his talent is beyond doubt and he's a good bloke
But the money run modern game has bred a monster
If this what football is about ?
I think its appalling and a symptom of capitalism

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
So why doesn’t Bale help out with Macclesfield?

I'd rather he get it than just the owners.
The fact that numpties from Cardiff, Moss Side or Glasgow can earn a fortune because of their talent is brilliant.
If he couldn't kick a ball he'd be a pleb like the rest of us.

Re: Gareth Bale , Obscene Wages
the wages are obscene, but at least the money is going to the workers generating it rather than the wealthy owners just leveraging their wealth.

He's not on his own, the whole lot is obscene, premiership clubs spending hundreds of millions on assets.
If Gareth Bale is on 600K PW and he is paid on a 24/7 basis, he earns more in 3 seconds than the new weekly state pension.

24% flat tax rate as well thanks to the Beckham Law. To be fair i'd say he didn't even pay that much either, probably put it through a shell company or invested in Dwayne Johnson films
