Eric Bailly

All players do it

 

My god... all these people moaning about Vardy and being beyond rich and his wildest of dreams.

I will say hes been on 20k a week for 3 years and 60k this past year as being generous (average of payrise).

Thats 6m that he's earnt so far before taxes so half that **** from taxes and he's made 3m net before hes splashed on his house, cars, parties, casino, drugs, birds

lets say hes on 80k for the next 3 years, thats 12.5m gross on 6.25m after tax. thats 9m without spending any money at all.

Lets say he's bought his mansion for a million, and spent 200k and 2 nice cars and bought some nice gear/parties for another 300k

i'm assuming he won't want to go back to being a waiter/bricky/lorry drive and he'll just be doing **** all except having fun so that over the next 30 years cause he'll die at 65 after the partying. That means he'll only have 4.8 grand a week to spend and thats before he's bought his house and his fancy cars, his missus buying all her designer **** and sent his children to private school and ****.

Thinking about it, thats quite a bit but he ain't throwing his massive parties and **** and buying a new car every 3 years.

**** it for the record for a 50% wage increase at 120k i'd leave my club to do the same job. That 120k would mean he'd have another 2grand a week to spend for the rest of his life.

As for people saying Arsenal could sell him, Vardy doesn't have to move, he could sit there like winston bogarde or adebayor collecting his wages

 

You really think he pays 40% tax, he will have a clever accountant that will hide lots of his money to save on tax

 

Unless he has some sort of company registered in some dodgy offshore bank account and pays himself in loan or cash he will be paying 40% tax.

If I was on 200k doing a job in Leeds and someone offered 240k to do the same job in London, it may actually work out better to stay in Leeds. Just saying that it's not always in black and white.

And yes, I personally have turned down 10% more money from a large firm to do a job 8 years ago. it turned out to be a great decision because I did so thinking about path to the future and where I needed to be. 10% more back then would not have got me to the path I needed to take due to a fish in a big pond factor.

I'm just iterating that it isn't always in black and white. There are indeed intangibles that help us make decisions besides money.

 

Maybe he wants to make enough money to ensure that his kids and grandkids are comfortable for life. It's what dads do when given the chance. If he has 4 kids and they have 3 kids each then that's a lot of property and school fees to pay for!

 

Thats what they do (still legal), also they register themselves as a business and pay themselves a dividend, thats a lower rate of tax

 

Well if they want to take all that money out to spend even as a dividend they are paying ~40% on anything over 40k.

 

The rules on dividends are changing so that high earners will pay almost 40% tax on dividends and salaries. Funnily enough it was low earners whose employers paid them a relatively low wage, but a large dividend to make up the difference, that caused the tax man to act. Poor Mr Vardy will have done a deal with the club so that his image rights are paid into some off-shore entity as a pension of sorts while his 'low' salary is hit for tax.

 

I think it would. I find it hard to believe that a striker like Vardy would prefer to sit on the bench than play football. That seems to be missed in this whole debate. I don't think you can truly compare a footballer's "job" in the same way as the rest of us. We can be offered wages to sit and do fck all and most would say fine. But footballers by the nature of their love for the sport want to play. Money plays an important part in deciding who they play for, but it is only part of their overall decision. Any player who chooses to sit on the bench for the money (Cudicini the best example ever) is just an embarrassment. IF money is the primary factor driving his move to arsenal, then more fool him.

 

I actually like what it says in the Breaking News ticker tape at the bottom, more

 

Look at it again.

Ahhhh he's **** anyway

 

Yeah, not exactly joyful if City are to sign Aubemayang. If that his name.

 

He wouldn't get a game with Bony in the way anyway.

 

Bony is history as soon as Pep arrives.

 

One more point and we would have had a chance of bidding for him. What a ****wit LVG was!

Norwich at home.
