Is Wayne Rooney worth £300,000 per week???

No, but unfortunately precedents have been set by others and so it will continue, personally its obscene, but think of the tax he will pay, should keep Paul happy

Bet his accountant is already working on a way to cut his tax bill.

over the next 5years it will amount to millions , if hes sensible he will invest it for security when his footballing career come to an end.

Wayne Rooney sensible?

I did say IF

Obscene

His 5 year contract is worth £78 million

Dont forget the extra millions he earns from sponsorship and endorsements.

I bet a few charities would love to get what he earns PA, ie, Help for Heroes, Royal British Legion, Cancer UK, etc etc.

If a football team who i supported paid a player this sort of money then 

would i spend my hard earned wages to watch them? Never.

this was said to me by a football fan "but in the same vein to replace him might have cost £50million plus , and then pay that player wages, not so different is it" Unfortunately the footballing world has gone mad, thanks to Sky/BT Sport etc

I sold programmes at OT for some years and was paid peanuts but at least I and our two sons saw Best Law and Charlton et al for nothing. Happy memories.

Ahh, real football players who WR just cannot be compared with.
