Do you think soccer players deserve so high salary?

I worked in sales for many years. I got a lucrative commission packet. The production people hates me because I made a helluva lot more money than they did even though they're the ones who did all the work.

Sausage, beer, communal showers...oh I should have gone into sports...

Re: Do you think soccer players deserve so high salary?


I think that quite a few Premiership players in England, and their counterparts in Europe would feel rather disappointed with only £50k per week, which works out at a measly £2.6 million a year.

Here are the top ten footballers, including their income from advertising deals, as at May 2005.

David Beckham (£17m)
Ronaldo (£13.3m)
Zinedine Zidane (£8.8m)
Christian Vieiri (£8.1m)
Alessandro Del Piero (£6.5m)
Frank Lampard (£6.4m)
Raul (£6.3m)
Thierry Henry (£6.2m)
John Terry (£5.8m)
Luis Figo (£5.7m)
