Pellegrini wage: THE FACTS

Many reports have surfaced about the amount of money that Manuel Pellegrini will be earning ranging at West Ham with figures of between £5m to £10m being quoted

So to put this to bed in CandH terms here’s what we understand to be the case:

O He is on a basic of £8 million

O Depending on finishing positions or winning a Cup that could rise to AROUND £10 million

O and were he to win the League and Champions League it would hit £16 million.

In our original wages story we approximated an average he was likely to be receiving and said “about £10 million” but given the ongoing debate in the media and on here we thought it best to bring a little more detail.

The idea that he would join the club for £5 million – as suggested by some media sources – having been on £16 million net in China,  are a little ludicrous to put it mildly.

In fact, what he earns or doesn’t earn should be an irrelevancy so long as he brings us trophies but for the record that’s the score.
