384k a week

Russian football is set for a massive boom in the next few years I reckon. Lots of oil barons and whatnot fuelling the game there. It's not too much different to how the game in the middle east has grown, only with the added carrot of the champions league to entice the top calibre players

you're forgetting this Dagestan lot. You've got to launder the money somehow and football is dirty enough to launder a load. I think we'll see the Russian leagie getting more high profile over the coming years. The wealth will spread. 

Hadn't forgotten them, just don't envisage that becoming much of a norm. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, but I'd be surprised if more than 2 or 3 Russian clubs are seriously competitive in Europe in 5 years time.

Zenit won the Europa League a few years back. That's pretty competitive. And the Moscow's always seem to give our teams tough games in the Champions League.

Why not just round it up to £400k a week. £384k seems a random figure. 

[Samdy Gray]

It's €384,000.

Still, that's about £330,000.
