There is a chasm in wages between Newcastle United teammates Fabricio Coloccini and Danny Guthrie.
The Mirror says Guthrie has exposed the massive gulf in players' wages at table topping Newcastle United.
The midfielder was forced to reveal in court this week that he earned £4,000 a week.
And that means it takes him FIVE MONTHS to earn what Argentine defender Coloccini banks in a week.
Guthrie had to go public with his pay packet after being caught for speeding. He was fined £500 and given four points on his licence, after magistrates demanded to know how much he earned and spent. His outgoings were said to be £6,000 a month.
The huge disparity in pay levels between first team stars at St James's Park means that Coloccini, signed for £12million from Deportivo La Coruna on £80,000 a week, and Guthrie are worlds apart in terms of earnings - but still expected to do a job to get United promoted.
