You know what would be nice? If, shortly after he (hopefully) signs, Sanchez signed up to Mata's Common Goal. With everyone talking about his wages so much and overinflating them, it'd be a nice PR piece, a good gesture, and a nice way to say 'fuck you' to the journos without actually saying 'fuck you'. I'm a little perturbed that more people haven't signed up to this yet. Mata said a few weeks ago that they've signed up several more players but are drip-feeding their announcements for maximum publicity. As far as I'm concerned every player at the club should be signed up, as well as some of the higher paid coaches and executives, but it's possible they already are. |

This was from last year.  With a bit of maths and our new financial figures, you can work out Sanchez within the broader context. I estimate Sanchez's figure wouldn't fit the scale on the X-axis. |

500k would be before tax.
Don't they pay something like 45% income tax at the top level? Then add NI payments onto it and you are back near the correct 250k/week

People usually describe salary as just 'the club pays £X for Player Y each week'. Most people on permanent contracts also describe their own salary before tax and in yearly terms. So I doubt anyone bar Sanchez himself would think of £500k p/w being paid by the club as only £250k p/w. No one was talking about Rooney's £300k p/w 'after tax'. Apparently most players and agents do it in monthly calculations now as well, but the public (including me) stick to weekly. |

After deductions though it wouldn't be more.that £250k a week. Typical media though, have to somehow find something to obsess over us. |

Read earlier as well Jose wants the deal wrapped up by 12 noon tomorrow so he's available for the weekend.
Not sure on the reliability of it but take of it what you will.

Try my hardest to ignore the clear anti-United agenda in the media but it's so hard to do when it's so fucking blatant.
Anything they can do to put a negative spin on us signing a world class player.
Cunts!

I cannot see the club paying 500k gross a week if the player is getting a signing on fee.

I was pointing out that the 500k would be about right for a pre-tax figure. Given that the paper said 117mill over 4.5 years. If it was 500k after tax that would make his wages around 234mill. |

Plus Sanchez wanted around 350k a week, which he isn't getting. The massive signing on fee makes up for the lesser wage. United did similar with Ibra. EDIT: It's still less than the 25mill signing fee that Sanchezs people quoted United back in September. Less than half in fact. So, lesser wages & a lesser signing on fee. This would probably be because Sanchez wanted out of Arsenal this month, regardless. |

You said that the 'correct' figure was £250k, but that's only if people talk about after-tax, which I was saying basically no one does. So the 'correct' figure in most conversations would be the £500k, though both are true depending on your point of view. If you genuinely always discuss salaries for all players at all clubs in after-tax terms then more power to you, but that isn't normal. The media obviously have a ton of ABU ridiculousness surrounding us, but if we are paying £500k before tax then reporting that as £500k before tax is in line with what fans of all clubs and past media reports have done, so it wouldn't be an example of ABU shittery. |
