Manchester United's Ed Woodward Premier League's Top Paid Exec Earning £2.5M

ManU Exec Vice-Chair Ed Woodward "became the highest-paid club administrator in English football during his difficult first year at Old Trafford," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. ManU accounts for the year ending June "lodged at Companies House" reveal Woodward, who took over from David Gill in July '13, was paid "a whopping" £2.5M. Woodward "was top of the Premier League chief executive rich list despite struggling in the transfer window" at the start of former Manager David Moyes’s time in charge and "facing considerable criticism for the way Moyes’s departure after 10 months was handled." The only other Premier League club official definitely paid more than £2M is Arsenal’s Ivan Gazidis, who received £2.19M. Man City’s Ferran Soriano is likely to be a £2M-a-year chief but City’s accounts "are less transparent" (DAILY MAIL, 1/26).
