Time for another coup, Roman. Might be a good way to get back up to #1
(Via The Guardian)
Four Four Two has had another crack at their lists of the wealthiest owners and players in football, and Roman is slipping a bit. Poor lad. Might this mean the end of the retarded over-spending for the EPL's Big 4?
List of owners and players after the jump. Commence anger/surprise/ridicule in the comments!

Apart from Fowler, I can't make sense of the second list either. Why is Beckham on there? It appears to be a list of the highest paid players in England... not the highest paid English players, no?
Oh, I also like how Ca$hley was listed with Cheryl. Funny.
In my next life, you may address me as Lord Granchester.
As for Fowler in #5, I have this image in my head of him walking to Chelsea with the list and pointing to his ranking in front of Terry and Lampard, and then saying something Cheney-esque.
But that's just me.
