Back to the subject - someone texted me today about adopting a large African herbivore
Had to decline for various reasons, chiefly the big responsibility involved, and reluctantly replied
No gnu onus.

Somewhat ironic, that players from the era that probably contributed more to the demise of football than any other, are now turning, but as long as the outcome's right...
Coalition of ex-pros and pundits back independent regulation
Posted on 17th May 2021
A coalition of ex-players, pundits and media figures are the latest to call for substantial reform and the creation of an independent regulator.
Led principally by former Manchester United defender and England international Gary Neville, the group are calling on supporters to sign their petition calling for the introduction of independent regulation.
At the time of writing, the petition had reached 85,000 signatures and looks set to trigger a Parliamentary debate when it passes 100,000 signatories.
Neville said: “There is one big opportunity now in this next few months to influence the outcome of English football and create a fairer game for all.
“I urge you: if you hated me as a player, if you dislike me as a pundit just to listen to me this one time and sign this petition which will bring in independent regulation and transparency at the top of the game we all love.”
The petition is also being supported by former players Jamie Carragher, Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, Gary Lineker, Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards.
Media figures such as FSA Writer of the Year Henry Winter are also backing Fair Game’s petition. The Fair Game letter was also signed by FSA vice-chair Tom Greatrex.
“As the fan-led review gets underway, it is hugely significant to have the active support of high profile pundits and ex-players to improve football governance for the future,” Tom said.
“The spectre of a breakaway closed shop Super League has united all of those who wish to protect our game.
“Regulatory oversight that is independent of clubs has long been part of the FSA’s proposals, and it now has widespread support. It is time for those fundamental changes to protect, enhance and sustain the game to be made.”

Agreedmost people gave gary neville praise for dissing the superleague and its participents for being greedy.
i just thought what a hypocrite and he needed to take a look at himself as do all the players happy to make inflated wage demands while "real people" live on another planet to them.

Ill drink to thatOr I just don’t know much about trains. Or locomotives. I don’t even ride the train, thinking about it. Suppose owning a private jet negates the need for it.
He played his entire career at one club, to my knowledge he never threatened to leave to get more money and though he was on a lot of money, it was nothing like the amounts player are on today.
He's probably the most clued up and articulate ex-player around and as he's right in what he's calling for, good luck to him.
i dont know how anyone can justify his and players of his era's wages compared to nurses teachers etc
ok so he's on a fraction of what players can earn today.
doesn't make it right. its insane.

Has he said out about sky subscriptions going up whenever they want and without telling you?Film stars, pop stars, sports stars, they all earn big money, but it's entirely from the income that they generate.
What nurses and teachers earn is completely irrelevant.

Mate, that's just life. Surely you would ask for £100k a week if you thought you could get it? I certainly would and so would you. Yes?most people gave gary neville praise for dissing the superleague and its participents for being greedy.

lol i cant believe it when people try and justify the inequalities in society.
you can spot the money grabbing pull the ladder up im all right jack capitalists a mile off.
now i dont go around selling the big issue or indeed take any interest in politics.
but my moral compass says this is wrong. maybe im wrong. ok they generate the wealth but is it right that they earn those stupidly insane amounts and can fork out £250 k on interior design without batting an eyelid and normal peoples babies die cos they cant afford operations etc.
anyway back on topic.
footballers are all greedy gits and i hate them all.
