Not sure, but they were reading out the figures as if from

I've heard before that Wood was our highest paid player at£50k per week.

Re: Pensions

They were looking at rates of around 4% which is being achieved, that’s with 1% charges. Also the older you get the less you spend, if you get to 90 and not gaga your not going to be spending lots of money. You have to work out what you want out of retirement. My alternatives are £13 k a year final...

The examples by lansdown Hargreaves are just based on assumed growth rates and can't be taken as read. If you are drawing down £6k a year from a £100k pension pot from age 60, there is a very strong likely hood of running out of money if you lived to say 90. Without doing the sums, you would need s...

Re: have we broken our wage structure twice in a day

Talksport were discussing earlier the astronomical wages in football, even for players who would not be considered as big names. Gave examples from a number of clubs and stated that Wood was on £50k per week. Also mentioned Gray being on £70k per week at Watford.
