The Bale transfer, my take if you are at all interested.

firstly what made me laugh was when he has said its time to move on... OMG really Gareth... then I looked at the deal. £85 million/100 mill euros. £300,000 a week.. YES A WEEK. We have not looked at the sign on fee as yet , I was always believing it was 10%.. so if that's true then Bale has already banked £8.5 million.
So a six year contract on 300k weekly... ermt hats around 9.3 million...seriously I doubled checked the calculator too.
Now beginning to really take a big look at football in the modern age. I am thinking it really sucks... and the fans are the mugs.

 

Lots of interest and demand mean a lot of money involved in football, thats the way it is now.

 

What blows my mind is he earns our record transfer fee in a little over a month...

 

300000x52 (weeks in a year) is £15,600,000x6 is

£93,600,000 in the next 6 years.

 

yup I looked at a , in the wrong place £93 mill it is... obscene is what I say

imagine in a few years maybe ex players like him ... going back to a home team... like ours , and investing...then again all we have had is Butterfield and Stones... may as well look at the Chuckle Bros.

 

Re: yup I looked at a , in the wrong place £93 mill it is... obscene is what I say

And the thing is he's not the best footballer in the world.... he's yet another over-rated player who is on obscene wages. Modern football makes me sick and it disillusions me.

 

Erm, tha needs a new abacus, 300k x 52 = 15,600,000 x 6 years + 10% of fee (circa 85,000,000 = 8.5 mill) =102.000.000

 

Bale isn't a smart guy, he could have made more money moving to another club (Even an English one) as I heard he will have to pay about 50% in tax.

 

He will pay 51% tax on that, poor bugger. He is a good player, I think he'll do better at Real than he's done here. The money is obscene, I find it disgusting.

 

i'd happily pay 51% tax if it meant i brought home ~£150k a week!

 

I'd be astonished if he does.

 

I thought the top income tax band was 52% in Spain. Should've gone to Monaco.

An example of Real Madrid improving their brand. It's not just about the player but the craze the signing creates. Madrid made back the £80 million they paid for Ronaldo in shirt sales.

 

He'd have paid 50% Tax in England.

 

How come your not out spying on venues

 

Going now.

 

I thought the beckham law had been extended, thought that was why Ronaldo stayed?

Would he not get the 24.75% rate?

 

Nope, not interested.
