lilpyrokid951 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=6354899 ESPN's list of the highest paying sports teams in the world. Everton comes in at 120th. Interesting and a little bit depressing to see some teams like Newcastle, Pompey and West Ham ahead of us on the list.

I'm delighted they're above us - it shows how poorly they are run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I was surprised to see Everton above the NY Giants and NY Jets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 On a similar topic... I was talking to a Villa (scum) fan/ friend of mine earlier - typical Villa fan, interested when they're doing well!!! Anyway he got on to how he hopes Man.City beat Stoke (we have a couple of Stoke fan mates), although he quite likes Stoke and hates City because of all the money they've spent... I replied that Villa spent a fair whack of money, obviously not in City's league but a hell of a lot more than most - he wouldn't have it and cited the Barry/Milner sales. I reminded him that Milner was sold after O'Neill had been spending for 4 seasons and Barry only fetched slightly more than what the paid for Curtis Davies. When I got home I googled what they had actually spent... see link... Exhibit A (only 1) ... of course my side of the argument was well addressed and spot on They spent £121m in O'Neills 4 seasons - recouping £40m by my reckoning that's a net spend of £20m a season... my question is where would we be if we could have spent £20m a season (£30m with player sales!) over those 4 years?! Final point - Gary Cahill sold for £4m??? Curtis Davies signed for £8m??? It's a funny old game - or Martin O'Neill isn't quite as good as people harp on!!!

Hari Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Surprised to see some of the IPL teams there. " Royal Challengers Bangalore" is placed in 26th.. . The team is owned by Vijay Mallya, He has two local football teams playing in i-league here in India, an IPL team, a F1 team "Force India"... why don't he try our team??

Louis Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 It's too easy to forget just how little Moyes has had (net) comparatively to other managers at clubs. Indian Everton, ask him! http://twitter.com/#.../thevijaymallya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight On Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I was surprised to see Everton above the NY Giants and NY Jets. The NFL is on a salary cap, though. But yeah still a little suprising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
