It is obscene and Rooney is benefiting from a club in panic.

Man U are desperate to stop the rot, its getting expensive for them. That said for the Glazers a fantastic return on investment, despite their share price tanking of late..
£15,600,000-a-year
£300,000-a-week
£43,000-a-day
£1,800-an-hour
£30-a-minute
50p-a-second
****ing ludicrous.

Say Bayern Munich were paying this much to Robben but were still charging fans realistic ticket prices and subsidising fan costs then it's kind of fair enough, when the costs to the fans are spiraling out of control then it's ludicrous. If that happened to us here at the Albion I'd be out.

That is before tax, and your right it is obscene. Let's say it's around £170,000 a week after tax, you could probably employ
340 Nurses on £500.00 per week for that.
But their careers are short we keep hearing, but they generate a lot of money, they are under a lot pressure, the fact is NOBODY IS WORTH THIS MONEY!!
That's just his wages, this does not include sponsorship.
It's just wrong when so many people are struggling. That's just my opinion.

But that's another issue. Football is clearly not too expensive otherwise people wouldn't pay for it. No-one is forced to go to football matches or pay for it (unless you live in Haringey and your council hands Spurs money).

Less than what the flappy birds inventor is earning.

And it's not as if he is a world class player anymore, I wonder what Ronaldo or Messi think they're worth now ?

Employing nurses? That's what the tax is for...

Just using it as a comparison that's all. The wages are still obscene when you compare it to what other people have to do in their jobs.

Within a decade there will be a £1m per week player.

I won't bother watching football at that point, as much as I love it.

He deleted it from the app store because he said it was ruining his life so he is earning nothing from it now, and even when he was he was earning £30,000 a day through advertising, he wasn't paid by an employer.. Not really comparable.

Really? It's just basic economic market forces. Rooney is supplying goods that Man U demand; obviously they've both come to an agreement and Man U think he is worth the money that they're willing to pay.
I hate the money in football, I hate the spiralling costs etc, but wages are just basic economics. Whether we agree morally is a different matter.

Companies make a lot of money too, but the workers hardly see a rise in their own money.
I'd say Ronaldo and Messi, perhaps Ibrahimovic, ARE worth that money, because they are market leading professionals that bring in shedloads of commercial revenue. I don't think Rooney is in the top 25 players in the world in terms of ability, and he certainly isn't as marketable as the aforementioned.

The 300K a week has nothing to do with whether or not Rooney nor any other person is worth that sort of money - it is simply Man U protecting its investment in a player - it is the club that is treating him as a commodity.
Rooney had 18 months left on his contract, his capital value was dropping every day he didn't sign a new contract. If they wanted to sell him in the summer with just 12 months left on his contract they would be lucky to get £15M - now, with 5 years on his contract it will take 5 or 6 times that amount to get the club to sell.
