Sounds ridiculous don’t it - But then again in 1992 the entire TV revenue for Premier league clubs was…. Drum roll… £11 million. Today it’s at £1.3 Billion and counting.
So - we are talking about todays revenue from TV being 118 times bigger than it was in 1992……So IF player fees increased relative to TV revenue increase…then if a £3,6 million Alan shearer (his cost in 1992) was to be revalued today - he would be worth…..Drum roll…. and this is nuts with Brazil’s on top - a value of £424,000,000!!
Kinda makes you realise how the sport has changed and fallen in line with US sports. This is before we touch on merchandising and Sponsorships..
