Don’t footballers get some kind of tax breaks? Not like Turkey levels but something

Nope. They're employees and are taxed via PAYE. At least for the basic pay and bonuses. They may be able to do slightly more exotic stuff with image rights and personal sponsorships (more the latter than the former). They do get a better deal in in terms of pensions; to recognise how short the career is, they can start drawing down personal pension schemes from their mid-30s.

I thought those wages are loads more than we could afford tbh
Granted , I think xhaka is probably on that , but 3000000 net is going to be more than £100k a week (I think!)
I would think most of our players are on nowhere near that. Bar xhaka would be suprised if anyone is over 50kpw

Think it will average out across the squad at around 40-50k/week. So say 2.5m year x 25. Just over 60m/year on first team player salaries. Think we’re OK.

Saw Bologna are in for Johnny Rowe from Marseille. They’re spending g our money already I reckon.

I said before (and was called Xenephobic by someone on here, but I really believe it :lol:) the Italian teams are the toughest negotiators in my experience. Which for the avoidance of doubt, I don’t mind! I think it’s a good thing for them.

So I’m sure they’ll get a good deal for him and it might take some time to get over the line. But I’m confident we’ll get this sorted. We’re in a stronger position now we’ve brought another CB in anyway.

Don’t mind it tbh, I think we are similar now maybe not as hard to deal with but it’s good they won’t be fucked about. If a club wants a player they’ll pay what they think he’s worth to them. It’s a dangerous game to play on the other hand if we hit our ceiling then we will walk away.
