Haven't heard him say much about Real Madrid's financing structure either. I think the transfer fees are a distraction as the money circulates between the clubs and this deal will probably be spread over several years. The real issue is players wages. The word is that Ronaldo will be on £180,000 per week with significant step increases each year up to over £500,000 by the end of the contract! Now that is obscene.Philip Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912352719196616923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529016898634168069.post-1573164277161111042009-06-11T22:45:13.839+01:002009-06-11T22:45:13.839+01:00Platini is right (for a change) though, that that ...Platini is right (for a change) though, that that amount of money in this climate is just insane.Tim Goodbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725035540031649887noreply@blogger.com
