Players weekly wages.

[exilecanada]

When a players is said to be on XX,000 quid/week, is that figure based on a 52 week year? I’ve tried researching without success. I’m curious, enlighten me please.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

How the footie agents work is this:

For example exile, player earning £50k a week is for 52 payments = £2.600.000 per year. BASIC

Then the fun starts!
The quoted XX,000 quid/week you talk about is then subject to negotiated add-ons:
Loyalty payments.
Payment for points gained.
Appearance money.
Win bonus.
Etc. etc.

We are obviously in the wrong business mate!

That's strange - I thought I replied to this thread earlier, but it doesn't seem to be there.

I agree that it's 52 weeks, and players like Ronaldo and Messi have negotiated 'take home pay', so the salary you see is what they actually receive, with the club paying their income tax.

A few of those figures might be right, in the way a stopped clock is right twice a day, but I think it seriously underestimates how much some of our players are getting paid. If that list is correct, then our bank manager will be a very happy bunny indeed.

Not even close oldcolner! Don't know who sourced these figures but they are miles off!

[Altobelli]

I'd agree with you BT, it looks suspect to me, especially the wage they have got for the Iceman.

[thedonz]

Jon Walters wages won't have come cheap. Top earner?

[Supersub6]

Not even close oldcolner! Don't know who sourced these figures but they are miles off!

Obviously compiled by the Iceman's tax advisor

I suppose it is from silly season B) happy to hear the real figures if you have them!

Can Boruc really be on £1000 a week! We could buy a few if their team!,

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I have a non disclosure agreement regarding Burnley players' wages oldcolner but these guesstimates are laughable!

Just to give you a clue, the accumulative wages earned across the squad are nearer to the £2 million a year mark EACH!

[oldcolner]

Is that salary net or gross i.e. including terminal bonus appearance fees image rights etc

This site reckons they are on £18k average which is nearer £1M but there was a big bonus for staying up.

https://www.express.co.uk/pictures/sport/9018/Premier-League-average-weekly-wages-2016-17-sport*********/Burnley-183019

This has it at £33M

[The Bedlington Terrier]

That figure is when everything going is chucked into the pot oldcolner.

Pretty sure you can get by on a couple a million a year pre-tax?

5293

[oldcolner]

Think I could try, as its more than I earned in my career!
