They should be more discreet. Its OK being extravagant when the economy is doing well but in the present climate people do not want to see it. And as for 'Hello' magazine being involved. Uggh -who wants to see pictures of Croxteth lager louts puking in the swimming pool?
MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
You are right of course.
693,000 a month sounds a lot moredoes 160,000 per week sound more ridiculous than 640,000pounds a month
Rooney gets near £16 a minute.693,000 a month sounds a lot more
How does that sound ?
That is just his base salary, which would be dwarfed by his total earnings. United are giving him about 90k for image rights, and the players pool at United usually pays them around one million a year.
So just from United he will be receiving:
14 million a year
1.16 million a month
269k a week
27 quid a minute
That is still less than half of his total income after his personnel endorsements and spin offs are added.
* In dollars he will probably earn between $45-50 million a year
It's how it is, I'm not that rich at all but if I lost my job tomorrow and heard that Rooney was having a 2,000,000 birthday bash it wouldn't make a difference to me. He brings that money into Manchester United and he gets paid it back. You are entitled to spend your money that you earn.
You get paid a proportion of what your company earns because of your work, that's how wages work, if you make your company more, you get paid more. If your company makes little money, you get paid little money.
Comparing someone whose company makes say £10,000,000 a year and pays its staff little to someone whose company makes £200,000,000+ a year and pays its staff considerably higher makes no sense at all. It's why we have the stupid outrage in the papers that X person gets a top paid of salary of X amount and that could pay for 567,000 more nurses or teachers. There is no link towards what the rich earn as a direct result of them and their performance/work and what somebody else earns who works in a smaller job who can't afford to pay more.
I doubt many people who earn 20,000 a year would feel guilty about going shopping in Tesco because somebody who earns 5,000 a year can't afford to do it themselves. The attitude would be, 'I work hard for my money and I deserve it and to spend it.' Why should someone who earns more do any different?
I have no right to be angry to Rooney for splashing the cash just because I can't afford to do the same. He has a talent I don't and gets paid well for it. He's entitled to spend his money.
Sometimes you need the cold approach to see the bottom line because that's what matters. Otherwise it becomes silly and blown out of proportions.
People do want to see it, that's why it sells so well in 'Hello' magazine.
If they don't want to, they don't have to read it. Its because people do actually want to see it that it is shoved in our faces for people to then complain about.
Damn £0.45p a second then
Thats 3 space raiders a second. The life

Or a hooker every ten minutes.
not sure to post this or not but here goes:
just had to speak to plus net bout my bb connection - the chap there told me ( after he'd noticed my cantona pw ) that his friend who's a sky cameraman in this area said city had been certain they were signing rooney and all their recent business had been conducted in private cars or something.
anyway the upshot was that apparently city had agreed terms and everything with rooney , until SAF intervened . Apparently city are livid!

Been reported and posted several times already.
Has a thread ever got a million views on here?
Ozil got 1.2 million views? Madness.
So City talked to Rooney directly, without going to the club. Agree terms without talking to the club. Tapping up, no?
I can remember when it was reported United gave Robson a 100k a year contract. People were disgusted at a footballer earning 2k a week.
He gets around 80000 views every week
how can I know that? with this 185 page merged upon merged thread
This thread feels like a giant ball that just rolls around picking up stuff on the way, ending in one big congealed mess.
All for a player who never said he wanted to play here?He gets around 80000 views every week
Yep I am sure the authorities are furiously interviewing all Sky Cameramen as we type.
typical caf transfer muppets
well I wasn't sure what to make of it, but if it's true, that's what it sounds like.
Well obviously you have to take it with a huge pinch of salt, but if true....
of course - i know i'm gullible but .....!
he asked for my password and laughed when i said cantona, so i said, well i;m not having rooney!
so he said, but you've signed him for 5 years and i told him that i couldn't feel the same way about the little sh*t again - which is when he told me about his friend.
So who knows? but if it's true, he's an even bigger twat than I thought!
But you still love Ronaldo, Erica.
Adults hero-worshipping players makes me chuckle though.

When 250k turn out to be true I'd really start to question our staff's negotiationsskills
Moving with the times im afraid, if you cant pay top dollar you aint getting the top players, fact of life in the modern game.
Thing is, he's just not worth that money (that's my opinion anyway). But hey ho at least he stays with us.
don't you feel guilty even accepting 250 k a week? I mean some sort of shame?
Of course hes not worth it, who is? no ones worth that sort of money, makes not a jot of difference though does it, thats the world we live in, thats modern day football, you either pay it or you don't compete im afraid thats the harsh reality, top players want top whack, its disgusting the lengths they go to get it but fact is if there's someone else out there willing to pay it then you find yourself in a situation of having to as i said move with the times.
Nope, if someone's stupid enough or willing (same thing) to pay that sort of money who the hells going to say no?
You certainly wouldn't and neither would i, easy living, morals dont come into it im afraid.
you're right, i do still love Ronaldo ( and miss him )
I wonder how I'd feel if he was a short, angry looking, balding, jug eared, potato headed scouser?

!!!you forgot fat
Thing is, how do you decide what 'worth' is?
If you bring in the money to your business so that your business may pay you well then yes you are worth it.
If you generate the income, you get paid the money for doing so. That's all there is to it. If you generate your business 50,000,000,000 in the next year, you're worth a damn sight more to them than whatever you are paid now.
'Worth' is only relevant to the amount of money the business makes by having you employed. You are paid for that. Therefore yes he is worth it, as is any player who generates the income generated in order to give you that pay rise. We aren't paying him what we can't afford, we are paying him what we can afford because of what he and the other squad players have generated for the club.
He may be thick but hes just managed to screw double your money wages from his employers in the past week......
Im sure hes comfortable with being that thick.
