How long will it be till the first 'billion pound' footballer?

S) /poo

 

Not in our lifetime. A million x million?

 

I think we have adopted the american billion 1000 million

sadly

If that ever happens it will prove just how stupid the people who pay for sky sports really are.

 

Thousand million

No chance, not for a few years yet anyway.

 

dont know about a billion, but think how much the money in football has changed within the last 10-15 years. owts possible.

 

That happened years ago Darryl

Particularly for accounting purposes

 

Yeah, just thought I'd see what folk thought

Scary stuff.

 

Perhaps someone can work it out

based on how long it's taken to get from the first £1m player to now


I can't be arsed!

 

Kaka = Trevor Francis plus 2 zeros.

So in thirty years, if you add the two zeros again ............. mind boggling.</p>

And very wrong !</p>

(In the time since TF's million pound transfer, my house value has only added a single zero).</p>

 

Nivver...

well I never.

More like to make numbers sound bigger.

Who in the real world need to deal with such numbers in any case.

Proper people use terms such as 10⁹ or Giga</p>

Accountants are not real people in any case. </p>

PS its Darrell
