    It comes as no surprise at all that you're going against the flow.
    when we are all good at what w do we get well paid
    they dont set the wages its the going rate for their profession
    in a way we set the rate
    we want the best players at our clubs we want to win things
    so to do that you need the best
    and that doesnt come xheap

    just like american football baseball cricket formula 1 any sport or indeed job

    evenbankers etc are head hunted and earn obscene amounts of money
    even salespeople and hairdressers are head hunted and some in comparison get waty above what others doing the job get

    why should they be punished for being good at what they do
    it takes years and years of practice and deication to get to that standard
    just like any other well paid job
    they sacrifice a lot

    we are supposably all in this together
    so why should some loose more than others in a percentage way

    they have outgoings to relevant to what they earn

    should well paid doctors ,some on huge amounts take a bigger cut than a nurse

    sorry zipp but if we accept 20% i dont see why they should take more ,especially when there is no time frame to this

    they get taxed at source and like most peole who earn big will play the system
    why wouldnt they maximise their ncome

    i would think every well paid manager buisness owner ,professional person would

    So fùck the overpaid, give it all to these people. Billionaire owners crying cap in hand. I take it those defending footballers are against owners scrounging off taxpayers as that would be hypocritical to defend owners and defend footballers, wouldn't it ?
    Apologies if I have left any occupation off the list that are doing great, no wonderful work at this moment in time.
    so why should anyone sitting on their arse get paid then ??you and many others .my lads are working yet i have two well paid sales people sitting at home on their arses .shall i not pay them ,they earn about 2-2.5 k a week on a good week .thats well paid

    I reckon if you are available to work but can't due to circumstances beyond your control (such as this) then you should get paid.

    For me this becomes a moral and personal decision for players.

    In your case, thats the inherent risk of running a business. You take the profit happily in the good times so must take the rough as well.

    I would pay my staff in full if I was you. Trust me, if you do you will get it paid back in spades down the line

    Like I said before, people will have long memories long after this.

    as i said i am paying my lads as they are still working however the sales lads are not allowed into peoples houses or into offices etc .i am paying them but only a retainer as they are self employed

    i think down the line there will be reprocusions of this regards people paying higher tax etc and those who say they can afford a cut now wont have much of a leg to stand on when it does happen

    and any way
    we are all goingtp have to pay for this soon anyway trough increased taxes etc
    its costing us billions

    it will suely phuck our kids futures up so the quicker we get back to work and the conscequences that has the better

    I take my hat off to the likes of Barcelona players. Those that defend the greed in football are all whats wrong with the game and wrong with society.
    I hope and pray the bottom falls out of the money pit that is football, I hope the TV companies chase all these clubs for their money back. Fùck all greedy bastaŕds and help those that deserve it.
    I tell you what, pay people for what they are good at, bollox. Every doctor, nurse, teacher etc out there are better at their job than any thick as mince footballer.

    Heres another thought, next week when the country claps for the nhs in appreciation why not go out and clap for the over paid footballers in appreciation for the videos they have posted about kicking a bog roll about.

    but its peole like us who have paid for and allowed these players to be paid what they are

    how many times on here have players slagged ash for not paying top wages or splashing the cash

    now its obscene

    a little bit shallow in my eyes

    we wanted the toon to be top
    we wanted them to compete
    we wanted fat boy to spalsh the cash
    we slagged him when he didnt

    yet now we want to punish those players more than the average man


    really
