    If the £100k a week is true, then Samba's contract is worth £23m. :steam:

    It's not according to Fernandes, rumoured to be 70k.

    Ah, so that makes it a measly £16.3m.

    I doubt that takes into account lots of little dodgy brown bags......

    I suspect the full package is nearer £100k than £70k. Samba was reportedly on £100k+ in Russia, and they have a much more accommodating tax rate, it's naive to imagine he has halved his salary.

    £100k taxed at 13% in Russia = take home of £87k
    £70k taxed at 50% in UK = take home of £35k

    That doesn't add up to me.

    70k after tax most probably or a huge signing on bonus?.

    Actually, that 50% tax rate is an underestimate, the actual rate considering NI and so on is nearer 55%. I don't know enough about Russian tax arrangements to know if the 13% is similarly inaccurate, but my point still stands I think.

    Is anyone else getting sick of the "Harry Redknapp interviewed through a car window" phrase that keeps popping in huge bold letter on BBC transfer deadline day text commentary page? This just about sums up my feelings when it appears: :steam: <grr> :headbang: :emoticon-0121-angry

    Tories are about to drop it to 45 though. Not that it changes the point.

    And then makes out all innocent, like all he did was mention the name of a completely impossible target, and next thing a few days later Tony taps him on the shoulder and tells him it's a done deal - amazing the completely unexpectant Harry in the process!
