I stopped caring when transfers started going into the millions and footballers earned as much in a week as ordinary people did in a year. Now it would take ordinary people several lifetimes to earn what some footballers get in a relatively brief career and transfer fees are just numbers - I have no real grasp of what £50m really is, in any personal sense.
I love football, and always will, but the whole rotten over-hyped self-enclosed world it exists in leaves me numb.
To put it in perspective £50m is what I have in the bank........in my dreams.
Hope this helps
