the concept of payslips being a thing when in one week you earn more than 99% of people earn in a year

True story: i once moved into a flat that was previously rented by a 19 year old professional footballer in the eredivisie, like 15 years ago. For a while they kept sending post there, including pay slips. Years later I found one that wasn't picked up and opened it, and it was totally bizarre because they used the same pay slip software as my work, only where it said monthly income like €2000 for mine it said €50.000 in his lol. zeros everywhere.

I think it's mad that people on that sort of money would rent when they could save for about three weeks and buy somewhere for cash and then just keep it. I can't even figure out what you'd do with that sort of income, you literally couldn't spend it quicker than you'd earn it.

Why go through the headache of buying and selling a house potentially every threeish years? Van Dijk was renting Ole’s house in Cheshire when Ole got the United job so I’m sure there’s a footballers rental network out there

I assume they have people to do all that for them, or just keep the house as a spare

This went on until he owed them millions that also explains why most footballer salaries are talked about in weekly terms i guess

Thanks Ants posted:I assume they have people to do all that for them, or just keep the house as a spare You have to pay those people too, or you can just have a fixed £5, 8, 10k/mo payment everywhere you go without any strings.

This went on until he owed them millions There's also this, it's piss easy to blow through tons of money when you're 25, rich, and work about 15 hours a week. E: It's interesting that footballer salaries are in weekly wages because that's a totally foreign thing to Americans, whose professional athletes are discussed in yearly salaries or total contract values. When you break it down, someone like LeBron James makes $1m/wk which somehow seems like a lot more money than $50m/yr or however much he actually makes. Most of us can look at a weekly wage and be like "drat, that guy makes 200x what I make in a week" whereas a $50m/yr contract might as well be a zillion-gajillion dollars.

Friend used to work for a law firm and spent a lot of time sending payment reminder letters to premier league managers and players who bought flats through third party companies and then just never paid until they were legally obligated to do so

I can't even figure out what you'd do with that sort of income, you literally couldn't spend it quicker than you'd earn it. A lot of professional athletes have one or more houses and then just rent an apartment where they’re actually playing because the price of what normies would consider a luxury apartment is negligible to them.

footballers getting described as paid weekly is just tradition from when people who worked in factories used to get paid weekly and have to queue up to get cash money in a little envelope, so weekly wage was a standard measure that plus saying £400k per week sounds like a lot more money than £20m per year if you write it in the newspaper I've never had any dealings with a football club that didn't just run a monthly payroll, considering the amount of HMRC poo poo you have to do nowadays and the fact that they're essentially salaried staff

Millions is a fanciful number without much meaning, most people exist dealing with thousands in their day to day life. It's a much more easily quantifiable.

They get paid a "nominal" amount monthly(€13k-ish, the La Liga minimum) and then yes, twice a year they get all of their bonuses, image rights, etc dumped into their account.

sheffield wednesday throwing away L1 automatic promotion then coming back from 4-0 down in the playoff semis to winning the second leg 5-1 and going through on pens then scoring in the 117th minute of the final. and then going straight back down because our owner has all the tactical nous of a fishfinger

argentina being so desperate to win something they made maradona manager and it being a total expected disaster. He made riquelme retire from international football after criticising him in a post match interview and instead of arriving in bolivia 2-3 weeks in advance of the match to let players acclimatise to the elevation had the plane land 2 hours before kick off instead
