I believe it's 160k pound. As he's paid 40k pound a week... blardy rich....
But I read that he earns 45k a week. So it is 180k for saying that the manager
is acting like a child and commenting that the club would be relegated under his charge.
Attched is the news....

LONDON, June 29 (Reuters) - Newcastle United have fined French forward Laurent Robert two weeks wages for the second time in 24 hours after outspoken comments about manager Graeme Souness in the British media, the club announced on Wednesday.
"He was warned not to do it and he must suffer the consequences," United chairman Freddy Shepherd told the club's website.
"We have also reported him to the Football Association and we are seeking guidance from them on any further action they may wish to take."
Robert has signed for United's Premier League rivals Portsmouth but does not officially join them until Friday.
In Wednesday's Sun tabloid, Robert said that England midfielder Jermaine Jenas would soon be leaving the club because of Souness's alleged heavy-handed treatment of him.
On Tuesday, Robert, 30, had described Souness as "acting like a child" and predicted the club would be relegated under his charge.
Robert is reportedly earning 45,000 pounds ($82,000) a week.
