    I'm not sure why Roman Abramovich has the exact same amount of money this year as last year or why David Beckham is included, but there you go :)

    OP, have you got a link for that? Without knowing the exact specifications of their model, I'd question the reliability of some of the figures. They seem to be mixing figures between personal wealth (eg. Abramovich) and the amount invested in the club (eg. Glazer).

    Its in 442 magazine this month. They got the people from the financial times to do it. The editor(i think) from 442 was on Sky Sports News this morning to talk about it.

    And Beckham is in it because he's an english player, they werent going to leave him out
