Manager Salary vs Team Member

Well Luis Enrique the manager of Barcelona is on £8m a year. While a team member called Lionel Messi is on £40m a year. So going by this, the manager should be paid 5 times less. Hope this helps.
 
"It depends"

Are you asking because you are a manager and you don't think you're paid enough?

I manage people who are paid less than me.

To put this in context someone slowly moving into management, paid a fairly decent wage, expected to carry on day to day but start to manage a new recruited team of specialists like myself but with added management duties surely that would deserve a bump for added responsibilities?

absolutely it does
 
When I was a young vibrant bar manager for a well known holiday company I was on a salary, my staff were all hourly paid, during the holiday season all my bar supervisors and some of my more reliable staff all used to earn more than me.

This one lad that worked for me was an absolute animal, he worked his pecker off Easter to Halloween and would regularly clock up 60-70 hours a week, back then the wages were around £6.50 an hour so he did well but my god he worked for it.
 
you may as well ask how much should someone get paid for doing a job (without specifying the job)..

Other threads you might want to start

1) how big should a thing be
2) if I do something how long should it take
3) how many things are in the other thing compared to the first thing

I've managed teams where some staff took home more than me due to unsociable hours while those that didn't took home less than me.

I don't see how being a manager should really effect how much you are paid over people working for you. I could happily manage a technical team for instance without knowing a lot about the technical side of the job. You're there to manage people, time and expectations, that doesn't mean you're more valuable than the people you are managing.

It might deserve a bump but that wouldn't necessarily infer that you should earn more than the team members. The specialists might be bringing skills that command a rate higher than the management position - at a previous company I worked at the System Support Manager had moved into that role and was paid less than e.g. the Senior Technical Architect who reported into him. This makes sense because it would be easier/cheaper to replace the former rather than the latter.
 
As already mentioned, if you're doing the same thing as the team members but taking on the additional management responsibility then being paid more is probably correct. If on the other hand you're managing specialists but don't actually do any of the work yourself then being paid less is probably reasonable.
