Squad shake up and guessing players wages

Spartacus2nd · 02-04-2019, 11:54

In order to prevent thread wander I'll start a new thread on squad shake ups. None of us know a players wages so thats hypothetical, but we cant afford Messi who is on a reported national minimum wage every time he breathes (in or out), or blinks.

Just for a laugh, I thought I'd do some Maths. (assuming Messi was to live in the UK)

Messi earns just over £85,000,000 a year.

A person breathes approximately 24,000 times a day.
The minimum wage for someone over 25 is currently £8.21 an hour.

£8.21 x 24,000 = £197,040 per day, equating to being paid £8.21 for each breath.

£197,040 x 365 days in a year = £71,919,600

Messi currently earns MORE a year, than if he was to be paid minimum wage for each breath.
Wow.

On the Fleetwood thread, we then get a post with a figure that a player might or might not earn per week.
On the brief training I got as "forum admin" I was told to keep threads "relevant" to the topic and remove and or close anything that shouldn't be in the public domain.
Can't win; as usual !!

Rubbish, any persons "Real Wages" should never be in the public domain, i reckon you have been done, regarding training which certainly aint your fault.

Wow.

You forgot to factor in his 5 day a week training which accounts for the extra breaths required to take it to £85m. My fag packet Maths were on point

You beat me to it!

I would accept a recount if SJ can work it out based on an elite level footballer - over to you Josh.

However I feel this can never truly be resolved until we get Messi himself to confirm how many times a day he breathes.

Leo, if youre reading mate, please let us know.

Itd be a lot more if he played for us!

I understand each players situation may be different, but do we still pay around 50% of each loan signings weekly wage if they are getting regular football?
