Im sorry but back in planet real life where people work hard and some only get 30k a year at what point is 65k a week not paid enough
Since when did the market rate for a footballer be more in year than a nurse would earn in a lifetime?
Unfortunately, some time ago. It stinks, but there is nothing we can do about it, as we are the problem. It's our love and passion for the clubs which makes the game such a spectacle to watch on TV which helps to generate the outrageous and ridiculous salaries these players earn after tax.
And the bottom line is we pay less to top players than most clubs so it was only a matter of time before someone pulled Levy up on it.
This is hardly a new situation either, Cashley did pretty much the same thing to Arsenal and we were probably all laughing then.
