weebluedevil 1,305 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Al Nassr is the wee Saudi club that just signed Ronaldo on wages of £3.4m per week! Their annual revenue less than ours, home ground capacity 25,000 and TV revenue rivals what we get in Scotland, yet they are spending 10x more on one players wages per year than we spend on our entire squad. 10x more. WTF? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 8,119 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I remember saying to my dad many years ago how can Spurs afford £99,999 for one player Jimmy Greaves and his reply was in time money will ruin the game because there will be rich and poor with nothing in between 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,264 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Wow...what a way to wind down a career. Most guys take a pay cut at the end. I bet he averages a hat trick over there. PLUS think of the possible tax breaks he could get working over there. Good for him. Edited January 5, 2023 by Malangsob 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys with his wealth don't need tax breaks - will have a team of tax accountants creating all sorts of structures to ensure tax efficiency 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 It's a brilliant move for Ronaldo, who has an opportunity to make a big contribution to Saudi domestic football. I hope it works out for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
