Saint Gaston!

I hope that Gross and Net haven't been lost in translation.....

 

Yep that's what I think has happened tbh.

 

Weird that we're paying him less than pompey were paying Ben Haim just weeks ago.

 

Earlier, I made it about £33k/wk so not far out. Remember that our players probably had an automatic pay rise when promoted, so doubt the top players are far off that.

 

Foreign players always talk net not gross. He gets EUR2 mill a year after 50% tax and National insurance. He's on over 80k a week.

I am not trying to wind any of you up, I'm sure he'll be great and he is an amazing player but he isn't coming over for 33k a week gross. Not on your life.

 

A italian ESPN agent has said Gaston will get the number 10 shirt and be on 2.5m a year. On a 4 year deal.

 

well no by that logic he'd be on about 60k

 

I feel sorry for you if you're really this stupid

 

How long before someone suggests an excruciating chant?

 

Also (I am a stuck record on this) the contracts are made up of fees, clauses, instalments, bonuses etc so the headline figure does not mean too much. If anyone thinks Nicola is gonna start paying double our current highest wages then guess again. Maybe it just makes Liverpool fans feel better

 

No he's not. Even if that figures right that's what he would be getting without tax and national insurance. As this country's got both he won't see even half that figure.

 

think he needs some lessons on percentages...anyone?

Over GBP150k a year gross, you pay 50% income tax. NET is after Tax and National insurance. £4 million a year gross (80k per week gross) is £37k a week net after tax and national insurance.

You can insult me all you like but it's basic maths, pal.

 

BTW the English quotes have come out of this Italian article, probably already posted: http://www.corrieredellosport.it/calcio/calcio_mercato/2012/08/17-259600/Ramirez+al+Southampton.+Bologna%2C+giusto+cederlo%3F

It says the full interview is in today's paper. If someone were to somehow obtain an issue of Corriere they would surely gain legendary status (with me anyway)

 

Dear me…

OK

Net = Pay after deductions.
Gross = Pay before deductions.

Man says he is on EUR2 million a year. Net.

£4 million a year Gross = £76k per week gross.

Minus 50% Tax – 38k
Minus NI – £2k

= £ 36k per week NET.

So… like I said, he’s on more than £80k a week.


Being called stupid by people who can’t fathom their payslip is an interesting experience.

 

50% tax doesn't mean double. And there's no assurances he'll be paying 50% tax either, I'm fairly sure there's loopholes.

Minus 50% Tax) – 38k - (applicable after a yearly gross salary of GBP150k
Minus NI – £2k

= £ 36k per week NET.

So… like I said, he’s on more than £80k a week.

Man also says he is on 2.5m a year gross.

 

funny thing euros aren't the same as pounds, according to that report he is on 30k a week net so 60k gross

 

now get your calculator out and do your sums
