 The lowdown in the July/August 2011 issue on high net worth individuals makes interesting reading. However, the story about Mercury West Associates could be a little misleading as to the number of football players and associates who are earning the sums of money mentioned.

While players in the upper echelons of the football pyramid are earning megabucks, those in the lower leagues are not.

Although many will earn well over the national average, some players will be earning salaries in the range of £25,000-£30,000 a year, not a week.
