What a waste of a good footballer.

 

EDIT: Not a dig at the US. Beckham's wasted his career/had it wasted for him from Madrid onwards.

True and "David is a complete c***" fits well too.

Is it true that it's a five year contract? Seems a long time for one so old and s****?

[Spion kop]

Muppet decision.

[Tosh]

Mmmm

 

There goes any chance of getting his 100th cap/playing for 2nd choice Steve

[Serko]

£128million over the 5 years apparantly. Not bad work if you can get it.

OK, I'd trade the 100th cap for that

[Gilps]

How long before he's in the papers for shagging up and coming actresses behind his wife's back then?

[Greenoak]

Only in the USA will he earn massive money.

 

Faded glory but a "Superstar" is all that matters to the home of spin and BS

I heard he was going to do this months ago. Apparently it has all to do with his "acting career".

Ronaldo and Drogba will make a f***ing fortune then

[New York Red]

It's pretty big news here. Front story on CNN.

 

That's a big contract. I have no idea how they can afford it. I think there has to be some major sponsorship component to it.

That's £500,000 a week. Where the hell is that kind of money coming from?

Nothing to do with the half a million quid a week then?

[matty]

bloody hell. That is quite a lot of money.

[SkippyjonJones]

I heard months ago as well. I also heard the figures involved.

 

There must be a hell of a lot of sponsorship going on here ? a major company will be taking over the Galaxy and will max the Beckham exposure to the USA. I?m sure the money he is getting includes image and advertising rights etc. No other way can it work.

 

The attendances and tv money won?t cover it.

 

Yet Clint Dempsey was being paid $86,000 a YEAR and they wouldn?t give him a pay rise.

 

 

BTW the contracts are held by the League ? not the individual clubs?

[Guest Ross17]

Are his image rights included in this?

There will be. Most Shermans think Beckham's the best player in the world, so there'll be a bunch more eejits in the stadia. He'll be on every talk show in America, too.

 

He'll be the Coors Light David Beckham or something, the cn*t.

Another one gets away. Sack Parry!
