Euro 2008 Payout

[matthewb]

Did anyone see that according to the BBC Sport Website, Saints were given £114,943 by Uefa for having Saga play at Euro 2008.

 

The figure works out at just under £3500 per player per day that they were away on international duty.

For those interested above is a link to how much the British clubs earnt. Even Inverness Caledonian Thistle got over £57000

Could 1 of the MODs delete this thread as I forgot to check to see if someone had already posted this info beforehand.

Was news to me.

Also Saga was in Poland squad.

Amazing to think the likes of Everton and Spurs are not there.

[Neil]

Great spot, nice little earner.

 

Was any of this for Rudi or all for Saga?

[Arizona]

It was for Rudi to. I think we are paid per day the players are unavailable for their clubs, which would apply to both players.
