I remember reading an interview with Park Ji-Sung, and he commented on how happy he was to have proved that he wasn't signed just to sell shirts ... Koreans are a big market. If a manager is succesful in increasing a club's profitability, he is worth a big fat salary. So are the highly paid players.

Of course, in another sense of "worth", I fully agree with you
