Forbes value United at £905m ($1,800m) and Real at £646m ($1,285m), with Arsenal at £603m ($1,200m) in third.

The Fish 8989 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Meanwhile, David Beckham has replaced Ronaldinho as the world's highest-paid footballer after joining the Los Angeles Galaxy, earning £25m per year It doesn't seem real that anyone could earn that much for playing a sport where there is little or no chance or gratuitous bodily harm, £25 million a year! I'm pretty sure that doesn't include his sponsorship deals and any other sidelines hea has going. Plus the skeleton in his closet will make him a bob or two with her royalties.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it *does* involve everything else. His actual salary paid by MLS is $5M/year. The rest is all endorsements/licensing stuff.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 How can a small club like Spurs be richer than us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Is that based on this season's earnings through competitions then? I suppose the spud's cup runs have helped them if it is, I'd have thought Rangers would have been in there though rather than Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
