First thing to note from that list are that Man City are morons.

[Maxiedge]

Yeah I saw this before. Firstly, it's an absolute disgrace that Benzema is on those wages. Has done nothing significant in the game so far. Secondly, why Barca have given Zlatan a higher wage than Messi is a phenomenon. Lastly, it's clear to see that Man City are already infected and will get eaten from the inside out until they cease to exist.

Surprised at Deco as well

[Imy]

Wayne Bridge earns as much as Andres Iniesta

[RoadEnd]

The whole thing is a disgrace - they're all over paid. I don't blame the players - I certainly wouldn't say no. Financial management of clubs is a joke.

6 Emmanuel Adebayor Manchester City 708.000 € 8.500.000 €
8 Carlos Tevez Manchester City 666.000 € 8.000.000 €
19 Kolo Touré Manchester City 541.000 € 6.500.000 €
21 Robinho Manchester City 500.000 € 6.000.000 €

36 Patrick Vieira Internazionale 458.000 € 5.500.000 €
44 Wayne Bridge Manchester City 416.000 € 5.000.000 €


In total these six are getting 39.5m. euros a year, 45m. if they pay Viera's full salary. And this not counting Bellamy, SWP, Santa Cruz, Lescott, Given and others who are probably getting 60-80000 pounds a week. Crazy figures really.

The bubble will burst soon

The bubble will burst soon

Unfortunately we may be at the forefront of any bubbles bursting, Citeh and Chelsea have rich benefactors that will prop up their finances, Utd, Barca and Madrid have large revenue streams. We've got G&H

When was the proposed football financial sustainability thing to qualify for the Champions League being suggested to come in by? 2014(?) I can't see how City could meet such requirements

[Tee]

Fernando should be higher up in the list IMO. Didn't he recently extend his contract? **** Agent if he did.
