Max Power

[Chewit]

Wouldnt know. not on £25k.

Ok. The point is it’s not the money you earn that designates you as a millionaire, it’s the value of your assets. For example investments, property, cash savings.
Your salary is not the determining factor. There is many a footballer been made bankrupt who have earned millions but got nothing

Wouldnt know. not on £25k.

If you save up all your dole money you'll have almost a quarter of a million by the time you retire, using your logic

I'm sure the Saudi spectators will never have witnessed such outstanding on-field pointing that Max provides.

 

[Charmless Man]

But he has only 4 years left in his career where as most people at 30 are really only starting a career.

£10k a month is about £2.5k per week. He'd have a mortgage and bills to pay so I doubt he's a millionaire.

Has to pay their lass as a chauffeur since his driving ban as well

 

[halfpast3]

If he has had a career on average £10k a month he will be a millionaire.

Would give him less than a million quid after tax and that’s before spending a penny.

 

[martin_s_buckley]

Oh aye he will be. As long as hasn’t eaten or bought clothes, a car, or gone on holiday for that matter.

£10k a month for 10 years equates to £1.2m.

For context, in my last 30 years of working, I probably average £2.5k a month, which equates to £900k. I've managed to buy my own house and feed/clothe my kids and still have enough money in the bank to be very comfortable.

Good luck to the lad always gave his best for us and know first hand he’s a good lad

I heard people I know speak highly of him well before he even joined us. I don't doubt he's a decent lad who tried, he was just a League One decent player and nowhere near our required standard. There shouldn't really be any Ill feeling towards him from us IMO.

 

[123SunTan]

Always liked Max Power, not good enough for the Championship but gave his all for us in several campaigns in League One. Hope he makes the most of the years he has left in his career after the horror show at Wigan.

 

[Mantobar]

Wonder if he gets into a play off 2nd leg and in the 95th minute skies one over the bar and hits a camel in the desert rather than row Z

 

[David M]

Terminated? That at best is a spin of the facts at worst an outright lie.

he was out of contract at end of season and whilst he was offered a new one he’s obviously declined it. Not terminated in reaLity was it

Maybe it was an auto-renew based on a set of criteria that had been met?

 

[The Hesk]

Good luck to him

 

[Gloucester]

Probably gone from earning 5k a week to 40k a week. I can’t imagine he’s earned huge sums up to now.

Exactly. He will have earned considerably more than your average working person but he is coming towards the end of a career with perhaps no transferable skills to find similarly paid employment. Of course he wants to maximise his earnings over the next couple of years.

It is easy for someone to say they wouldn’t work there but it is usually from a perspective of knowing that the possibility of a high paying job in the Middle East is never going to arise.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Surely even the Saudis aren't thick enough to pay Max Power £40k a week, £15-20k maybe

 

[Vauxie]

Just talking to the lads we plan to find out when the games are played and we will have a trip over see either Fowlers or Gerrards teams.
Weekend on the lash

 

[parsonjohn1985]

I assume this is either a wum or you have no concept of income (and other) taxes and living expenses?

It does depend on your definition of a millionaire.

Mind the initial hypothesis is unlikely. He won't have earned an average of 10k a week. His best contracts were probably about that and he's almost certainly spent years earning less

Exactly. He will have earned considerably more than your average working person but he is coming towards the end of a career with perhaps no transferable skills to find similarly paid employment. Of course he wants to maximise his earnings over the next couple of years.

There's a huge difference between someone who's consistently earned 50 to 150k a week jumping to 300k a week and someone who has earned consistently 8k jumping to 40k a week imo. I can definitely understand Max's choice

What a way to ruin Christmas, seeing his name pop up on page 1.

 

[AKickUpTheBerntHaas]

Utter shite player. Hope he feels miserable and sees what it’s actually like to be a Sunderland player today not a shitebag that goes missing and just looks busy by pointing and shouting a lot.
