IT IS PRETTY disheartening to know that even a mediocre Premier League footballer can bank more cash for a crap performance on a wet night in Stoke than we can for slaving away for an entire year.
The Daily Mail have done a survey of most of the major football leagues in the world and estimate that the average Premier League salary is about €55,000 per week and €2.85 million a year.
The Premier League had the highest weekly wage by far. Here are how some of the other leagues around the world compare.
Bundesliga – €35,000 per weekSerie A – €31,470 per weekLa Liga – €29,000 per weekChampionship – €11,750 per weekSPL – €4,420 per week
My god, it must be great to be a footballer.
