With all this talk about RVN "breaking the wage structure", which I know is impossible as it's a total for all players rather than a restriction on one or two, I got to wondering.

Who are the highest earners at the club?

I though our top earners were on around 55k a week. That probably includes Defoe, King, Keane and Woodgate.

Do you watch a lot of Sex and the City? :)

King, Keane, Woodgate and Defoe would be up there I guess.

i can think of one person who has watched too much sex and the city :wink:

It's not really a carry question. I think it's more something Miranda would ask, she's the business driven one. Although obviously she finds it hard to combine work and life after she has Brady.

A common misconception as one newspaper claimed a while back that he was on 90k per week. They just assumed we must have matched what West Ham were offering him but he's said himself he accepted a lot less to come to us.

Its also got to do with adding the signing on fee onto the transfer or adding the transfer fee, or something really stupid

That was a great article. I think Bent's on something more like £45k a week.

I thought King told the bouncer he was on £83k per week. I know most would say he was pissed but no matter how pissed I am I always know my finances.

Unless he was talking about £83 before tax :shrug:
