I doubt the wages quoted are after tax or they truly do live in a different world to the rest of us.

Its true that in the top European Leagues, when clubs and players discuss salaries, they use the net figure after tax, otherwise its difficult to compare offers from different countries. However, it depends where the press/media get the figures they are quoting. However whether the £20K+ is before or after tax they don't live in my world.
