to pay this overrated bad attitude player 300k a week is just disgusting in my eyes

Similar crowds also on Sky (to a lesser extent )They earn good money and thats only fair but its gone crazy

These level of wages cannot be justified under any circumstances. How can we feel connected to our football clubs when one player can earn in a month more than many fans will earn in a life time. The old cliche 'football is about the fans' is meaningless in these circumstances. I feel disgusted that a society that tolerates mass unemployment, children living in varying degrees of poverty and the withdrawal of services to the most vulnerable can, at the same time, tolerate a football club paying 300k a week for a wee guy to kick a ball around a field.

Totally disgusted; I think some fans are likely to drift to non-league or amateur football. I just cannot make sense of it all.

Barack Obama, gets paid £240k a week.

Wayne Rooney, gets paid £300k a week.

One runs the U.S.A. the other can't count to 10.

TOTALLY TOTALLY agree. The only saving grace is that he does give some of it to good worthy causes and charities. How much, I don't know.

What this country needs is a high tax bracket - say 80% - for the super rich. Footballers, bankers (who nearly bring

Def agree , gives the sun etc easy pages to fill front & back with Shreks wages & the stupid comments on what that amount of money can buy. As i said it's just a pity we as working class tax payers couldn't muster up some form of campaign to boycott footy for a few games just to show our disgust - say a ' Go to a Non league game this weekend & b@lloxs to feeding the overpaid pro players' - ridiculously long title i know but i'm sure some savvy person could come up with a good strapline or title
