I think there is a difference between ”normal people with normal jobs” and PL players, the lowest paid are on what, 50-60 K a week!?

Does anyone on 50-60 K a week ”really have to look after his house and financial security and hence look for a better paid job”!?

Swedish, in most cases the more people earn the more they spend. If you earn £50,000 per annum you cut your cloth to that standard, i.e. mortgage, cars, holidays etc. If the opportunity comes along to earn £50,000 per week, lets say you get scouted by a club and signed up, you are not going to live in a small house and you are not going to drive around in a Vauxhall motor or holiday with Tui. Your lifestyle will change and you will live to a standard conducive to your new income. A big home, smart furnishings, new motors expensive hol's and you will make investments, buy expensive jewellery for the wife etc. Once tasted it is unlikely that one will want to take a reduction in income.

I do recall Matt Le Tissier stayed loyal to Southampton and credit to him for that, however, he did not take the offers and therefore, huge pay increase that would have gone with any move. So he most likely never had that quandary, albeit he would have had a handsome lifestyle and secure his future after his playing days.

In a nut shell the more you earn the more lavish lifestyle you will.

Lets hope it is a good clean game today and may the best team win.

For me it's thank you Ben and good luck.
