I read £91 million and then he gets paid £500,000 a week (!!!), still not sure if he will go though (I mean would you Milan - Champions League etc vs Man City - Relegation battle in the Premier league)...  

The money is just insane now, it is becoming a joke.

massive claim. most are owned by wealthy businessmen from England, India and the respective countries the clubs are based in of course. there are some that you could argue that are owned by crime syndicates however.

^man. city has a new owner and a loottt more money. basically any club in europe that finds themselves with a lot of money can build their club up, which man city has done with robihno and other players.

Last World Cup when Trinidad & Tobego lost to England each player would have gotten like 30 gallons of rum or something if they won.

so hes gonna get paid 107 million to fall down and be a pussy?

Jokes, I had to. But really, I'd respect soccer players way more if they didn't fall down so easily
