Henry Routs Neville In TV's Pay League After Joining Sky Sports As An Expert

Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry "has become the best-paid pundit in English football by a distance after joining Sky Sports as a football expert and ambassador from the start of next year," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. His pay packet "is said to dwarf that of Sky colleague Gary Neville," who is believed to be paid £1.2M ($1.9M) a year. The terms of Henry’s mega-deal "still allow him to work for the BBC at major tournaments, as he did during Brazil last summer." But "he is not permitted to work for Sky’s arch-rivals BT Sport, who were also keen on signing him." Henry "has shelved his coaching ambitions to accept a six-year deal with Sky," worth £4M ($6.3M) a year (DAILY MAIL, 12/16).
