Ferdinand banned for speeding & is on £690 per week

[Microbe]

As above, the BBC Sport site is reporting.

It's his 4th speeding offence and has now reached 12 points so banned for 6 months and fined £350

Also reported he earns £690 per week from Southend United

Just read this, and if true I am stunned that he's not on more. Although I wonder if that's his base salary and he gets more when he plays, which would make sense with his injury record?

 

[Pak Power]

Maybe that puts into perspective some of the silly figures that people 'in the know' band about on here as to certain players wages.
Earns probably less than a brickie ?

Still in the twighlight of his career. Many fans would like to be on this salary.

Precisely, far too much emphasis is put on " per week" and it also explains why sometimes there are such differences in figures. Someone can earn £1000 a week, but earn £78000 in a year. It could be quoted that they earn £1000 a week or £1500 a week and depending on the context both answers are correct.

So he didn't bend the truth about how much he earns to get a lesser fine then.

Ok, glad that's sorted.

Probably on a basic of that +
£1000 for a clean sheet
£500 a win
£500 starting and finishing a game
Bonus for playing in 30+ games
Bonus for promotion ie 35k

A good season and heavily involved equals big money

I suspect that's the case, his age is probably a factor as well, his legs already seem to be going, if he doesn't have a second season in him then this limits the cost.

there are no win bonuses at the club. Bonuses I think are limited to promotion.

Just as well really given the number of wins since March!

Food banks are available.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

ahahahah not a chance he is on £690 per week.

Yeah, they have missed a zero ?

 

[TrevorFitzpatrickHattrick]

He can run into training with Ranger now.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Logistically. Where does ferdinand live? How will he get to work now.

 

[Benfleet A1]

It wasn't on the pitch, thats for sure.

 

[Blue Yonder]

I thought it was established he is on a low basic but high per play contract ?

Good question Tommy... how will he get to work ?....

Wow, if only other people could drive you around instead of you doing it. :facepalm:

Jetski or canoe.

It's funny how some people are so convinced of their own cleverness and others stupidity that they respond to irony with sneering sarcasm.... and don't see the irony.

I wonder if he got "done" for excess speed on the A127?
The oddity (of the road speed) of it being 40 from a fifty; and before that (towards London way) of it going from 70 to 50 can be a bit of a catch.
For me I was so used to it being 70 to the borough boundary that I have feared the average speed cameras getting me many times when the traffic is light and it is too easy to carry on from the 70 unintentionally.
I would rather it just went to 40 after the A130/A127 junction and BIG warning signs were there.
However that is just conjecture as Anton might have picked up his points anywhere.
Weren't Tims offences on the A127?
