In these days of recession, a world financial crisis and a lot of people struggling to put food on the table and clothe their children, isn't this just plain wrong? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19434616
It's crazy Devon! Easy to say, but I'm sure if I had become a footballer on the wages that some of them are on I would (like some of them do in fairness) let a fair chunk of my wages go to worthy causes in the local community. Imagine being on £200k a week...the mind boggles
A crazy, crazy world. I love my football but the money in the game is totally out of kilter with reality.
Just to top it off, Hulk and Witsel ae moed to Zenit St petersburg for a ombined £64 million. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19471132 No doubt teir wages are sky ig as well .. I need to ange proffession!
Actually, from the reports of here I think that footballers are not particularly well paid. Seems to me that many of them would struggle on what you suggest is a fortune! By the way, why do you keep writing the letter 'k' after their rather paltry weekly wage?
Cristiano Ronaldo has had to keep denying he is unhappy with his £250,000 a week wages. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...eep-reasons-for-sadness-a-secret-8105920.html I think he's just looking for more money. If so come back to England Cristiano! Click on the images to enlarge them- particuarly the last one! Or, heaven forbid, Liverpool sign Messi. Apart from Gerrard and Sterling, their whole team's complete rubbish .. And last but not least, here's a nice meme about footballer's wages- and the reactions they kight have to them. Eto'o earns shedloads .. All pictures courtesy of Troll Football- a page on facebook.
