Shem’s Idle Notes: Top Ten Highest Paid Footballers of 2011
With all the changes that have taken place over the past 2 years, huge transfer fees, inflated salaries, etc. I thought it only fair to update this to reflect the Top 10 Highest Paid Footballers of 2011. The list will take into account salary and sponsorship deals and is quoted in US dollars. I should also mention that Wayne Rooney is somewhere in this list (definitely), but I am still trying to track down details of his sponsorship deals, but at a guess he would make number 4 on the highest paid footballers 2011 list, thus knocking Steven Gerrard out of the top 10.
