Na wa for internet copy and paste o

You sef for try reason am na

You posted the rich list for 2010 and you included a Willy Sagnol who has retired from football more than a year ago

Right now, Sagnol is an advisor for St Ettiene

GAYYner logic sha.

The Wages some of those players earn is nothing short of ridiculous .

For Instance why is Ibra earning twice as much as rooney?

Stop embarassing yourself in public. Sagnol retired from football in January 2009 and he last kicked a ball for Bayern in 2008

That one is your problem, go and tell that to the Futebol Finance staff who generated the list or the soccernet journalist who put it on their site.

So if football finance said Jimmy carter is the president of America, you copy and paste hook, line and sinker?

Why bother to have a brain let football finance tell you the colour of your shirt and your sexual orientation

Now this is getting ridiculous, did someone snatch your feeding bottle? go and attack the people who generated the figures, and you are being quite silly, the fact that Willy Sagnol retired in 1st February 2009 does not mean he did not earn money that year, did you flush your brain down your toilet in error?

I agree with you but I also remember the popular saying that "Life aint fair", Rooney's contract seems to be up for renewal though.

@duduspace,
DK has a point.
That list isn't worth the paper it was compiled on if such a glaring goof was pointed out.It's not a credible list if it contains a playerwho retired over a year ago.

Yeah,it is strange dt Sagnol made d list.dey should hav added notes 2 xplain dat cos it doesnt make sense.afterall he wasnt a footballer durin d year in question

Your post is fake, Robin Van Persie and Fabrigas earn higher than ARSHARVIN in Arsenal, how come their names did not appear and Arshavin appeared as earning higher

Too much money,imagin smally like messi is earning £9.1m per anum.why  didn't i learn footie lol.
D.drogba for £4.8m,im not impressed.i think he should swaps club with ibra.

Patrick Vieira is in Mancity.

where is Kanu and okocha etc, and the rest powerful nigerian players,

I find  it hard to believe no premier league player is in the top 5 considering all the talk about the premier league

well the way i see it, the list is titled "top 50 earners in football"
it was not specific about still playing or not;
u said urself he is an advisor at St Ettiene i guess that makes him still involved in the game
does'nt it?.

These people are worth the price they get. Good for the sport,people and the economy. Who's complaining !

Two things add up here----

duduspace is a street mongoose for posting a topic with wrong heading---- it shud read '' Highest Earners In Football 2009" and not 2010

dayokanu is a bigger bofoon for not reading the body of the topic before goin all out on poor dudu
If your assertion that Sagnol retired in January 2009 is correct then he is a contender for the competition of highest paid.

Stop assuming a position of knowing it all.
Anyone can make a mistake.
Besides,if DK was careful enough to point out that Sagnol retired in 2008,then he should NEVER had made that list.I don't see your point,because Sagnol retired in January 2009.Even if the topic was 2009 highest earners,Sagnol still wouldn't have been in the list.

Financial year is different from calendar year so even if sagnol retired in 2009 then his name will still pop up as 08/09 highest salary earners will only be collated after march 31st 2009.

C. Ronaldo is on top of everything he does

Please is there a caption as to the period covered?Cus I don't see any.
The controversy arose from the fact that the caption said 2010.A mistake,I assume.

The title lists active footballers,not coaches or advisors.He couldn't be termed a footballer if he was retired and advising,could he?

An advisor with St Ettiene and he is listed as a Bayern Munich player? FYI he just became an advisor for st Ettiene last month.

A player who retired in 2009 January that is one out of 12 months and he is still among the highest earners for 2009. Why not include Zidane in the list too

No one can be this stupid naturally, I suppose its a scientific test gone bad.

First of all the topic stated 2010 before it was adjusted. Secondly Willy retired from football due to personal issues and his contract was terminated in january 2009. Financial year or whatever he cant be among the top earners.

Eastbay just give up, you stand a better chance of getting snow in Katsina than getting functional brain cells in some skulls

question bloody Arrow -----

did the analysis say cummulative? or highest paid in 2009?

if u can intelligently answer that question, i can start to argue with you. till then get a jump start to your thinkin process.

Majority of this players that earn good money still behave badly in public

I still wonder how this relates to the topic. How can someone who retired in the first month of the year be the highest paid in that same year? I wish I can make an analogies to cowries and bottle corks cos some people are soo square that they cant understand anything.

Cummulative from when? The bigining of his career till 2009? or what? Dont just use big words that you dont understand

since you can't still answer intelligently, I have nothing to say to you. Still adds up to the fact that you are big buffoon that thinks he knows all----mschewwww

.why all dis arguement? while they are busy making their money u are here ranting sh!t
