Don’t know how true this is.

£1.2m a year is peanuts at this level surely even if Net??

It's not 'peanuts', but its within reach. £1.2m net is £2m salary (at 40% tax), so £38k/week (assuming spread over 12 full months)

If that was correct, we would surely blow them out of the water with wages as a consideration?

At current rates, €1.2M = £1.07M.

To receive that amount net in the UK would take a gross salary of £38k / week (ignoring image rights and any other twiddles) - easily doable.


EDIT - damnit, HKFC

Almeira have a friendly this afternoon with Real Betis, it’ll be interesting to see if he plays.

More like £2.25m as you pay 45% on anything over 150K and also employee NI to take off. So 43K per week, which sounds about in line with first team regulars.

Only 40% tax up to 150kpa, so vast majority will be at 45%.

2.2 million gross (at UK rates), just over 42kpw (though assume that's euros - so Portuguese tax rates) for 21yo 16 goal scorer in segundaB + 2.5 million bung to agent.

This whole deal is like Cinderellas sister trying to squeeze into the wrong shoes.

Benfica don't want to spend the transfer fee. They want to bung in shit players Almeria don't want. They want to pay over 5 years, America insists max 2 years(none of which is yet resolved - only Almerias fee is agreed) now Benfica salary offer is too low, and they don't want to pay the agent fees.

Sack them all off and have a little cozy up with the Lizard. It really doesn't have to be so hard!

When the fat lady sings - if ever - will it be in Portugese or English?

 

[Napper]

have to say Almeria played a blinder here.

Started at 15m didnt it

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

It’s a big wage for a player who’s played 44 competitive matches in his career, none of which were in the top flight of football, is it not?

Maybe I’m out of touch on wages but I’d assume that Connolly is on around 30k so would expect to be on similar. Happy to be proven wrong.

I mis-read. I thought the net wage was was £1.2m GBP, not Euros.

If converting £ to euros then yes. At exchange rates.

Portuguese if she coughs up.

 

[atomised]

So as it stands Benfica are relying on the players wishes to push this through. They are struggling to agree a fee structure with his parent club and now trying to pay the player less than his salary expectations

 

[fleet]

It’s not happening is it? I hope we have a good back up plan

 

[Icy Gull]

I am close to suggesting we dodged a bullet and he’s shitehouse
