WallisFrizz Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 He can’t complain at that, could have been worse. Needs to make sure he’s only talked about for his positive exploits on the pitch between now and the Euros. A bit of contrition wouldn’t go a miss either (I did like his distraction car stunt tho!).

Follyfoot Posted December 15, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2020 Just now, Tomaszk said: Yeah he's not on £55k a week. net so would be 90k a week 'basic' maybe plus win bonuses etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 £140k a week is £74k after tax. Remove a further 2% NI then pension, insurance, club fees, etc it probably isn't far off £55k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I said earlier on in this thread I hope he gets a ban. Hopefully the final wake up call he needs! Draw a line under it, move on and never repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the additional rate is 45% atm so it would be 100 basic I think. It's not implausible that his guaranteed salary is 100k/wk flat I guess.

MrBlack Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Is this just the lockdown party incident or does it include his speeding incidents as well? Edit: decided not to be lazy, it was both. Looks like he'll have to apply for a new licence after the ban too. Would that include taking a test?

It's not implausible that his guaranteed salary is 100k flat I guess. Yep probably earns at least twice as much from bonuses and sponsorship. Sponsors won't like the driving offences but unfortunately this kind of behaviour isnt that unusual for a footballer! Be interesting to know if the club have fined him too.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 99% of the time he appears to be a bloody lovely lad and a top pro. A true modern day footballing hero. Then there's still that lingering 1% of the time when he's a monumental **** idiot and it proper grinds my gears. I'm aware that one should we wary of throwing stones in glass houses, but why oh why must he chuck breezeblocks? Sort it out yer dafty. Once and for all. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I pray this is a major wake up call for him. Completely unacceptable stuff. Suitable punishment, though it could have been more severe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
