Just a bit!!! Dunno where they got the money from mind XD
Parachute payments of £47 million this year and if they are still in the league over £30 million next year.
On behalf of all Forest supporters I'd like to thank Boro for their unbelievable generosity. I'd be happy with 10m. 12m would be wunderbar. 15? We're having a laugh
Even clubs that have been down for 2 seasons like Cardiff will still get £12 million this year!
On the subject of silly money, why is£1.75M of our license fee being wasted on Lineker presenting about 30 match of the day programmes?
Nice work if you can get it! The fee seems excessive but he does other presenting as well but thats the market and lots of people get paid silly money for what seem inconsequential jobs, £12 million a year for being a football manager, £250K a week to Rooney for playing football, mad mad world!
Personally I think Lineker is better value at £1.75m than Shearer is for his occasional attempts at stating the bloody obvious for £500k per year. It does all highlight how ridiculous things have got though when footballers/managers and sports presenters/news readers are paid such exorbitant amounts and so many of the less fortunate don't know where their next meal is coming from.
I wish they'd sack Lineker and employ Slaven Bilic from West Ham, can't remember if it was the World cup or the euros but his knowledge on football was unreal, the best pundit on tv I've ever seen. Hope they go for his services after he stands down from management.
