Or for the BBC as a presenter...
OP is some random Newcastle fan.
Come on it has been a major topic of debate on these forums in the past.
How can little plucky Bournemouth afford decent players whith such a small ground etc..
They must be paying them mega bucks and its all unsustainable blah blah. Defoes on 120k a week according to some on here...

Really? I'd not seen it mentioned much, I can't imagine many people would be arsed, tbh.
And your one and only other post was asking about Murrays weekly wage ..can't wait for post number three
Asking about Murray's, Knockaert's and Stephens' weekly wages?

AFCB wages have been much more of a media focus than ours though haven't they and some people take what they read as fact. A deal for Defoe is going to attract far greater attention than whatever Muzza's payrise was.

Yes
as well as the players themselves
their accountants and agents, HMRC, and no doubt Bloom, Barber and CH,
outside of that small circle, who cares and why the desire to know.
As a complete guess I would suspect that they are in the higher tax bracket and don't receive any tax credits

Reckon he's a CEO of another club looking to sign them. Or are you Harry Redknapp?
Fair point.
I blame the media for spouting rubbish as if its actual fact when most of the time it is way off.

Do you have access to a sub-forum that we can't see or something?
Or are you referencing one thread made about 2 months ago? "Major topic of debate" do me a favour.

I believe Knocky is French and, therefore, most likely a French Tax domicile - therefore HMRC won't ever chase a foreigner for underpaid tax, they will simply report earnings and tax deductions to the "Direction Générale des Impôts" [French equivalent of HMRC] - if they think he's dodging, it will be them that come knocking.
Muzza, on the other hand, could be fair-game for HMRC ....
But you said 'everybody on here' was talking about Defoe's salary, whereas I suspect in reality it was a handful.
As for the amount he is being paid at plucky little Bournemouth, I suspect the few who mentioned it picked it from a newspaper, such as the Mirror.
Hardly anyone has been discussing at length the salaries paid to other plucky little Bournemouth players on an individual basis to my knowledge.

Just having a quick rummage in the payroll files:
Murray: Currently £32,750 per week basic. His P60 to 5th April 2017 gave a gross of £1,083,374.89, but please bear in mind that wasn't a full 12 months.
Knockaert: Currently £38,500 per week basic. His P60 to 5th April 2017 gave a gross of £1,400,000.00.

Why do people give a toss what footballers earn?
They earn silly money, pay no attention to it.

Plucky little Bournemouth - desperate for a rivalry....

I'm guessing that most Brighton fans can't even name any Bournemouth players except for Defoe, let alone care what wages they are on. A couple of things matey, you might want to take that petty resentment of yours to fans of a club who give a toss about Bournemouth (Saints? Pompey? Winchester?) and secondly, please learn what irony means...and what it doesn't.
