Yeah, the podcast thing may be his motivation for jumping aboard the bandwagon. More publicity for his social media bull****. Whatever.
Tbh I don't really mind the huge money being paid for the very best players. A Kevin De Bruyne, a Mo Salah, a Harry Kane are elite players and should get paid accordingly. What I struggle with to come to terms with is the obvious and inevitable knock-on effect where Joe Average top flight players are now earning crazy figures like £30-50K a week to be a fringe player, bench warmer at a big club or a decent perfomer but no more at an average Prem club.
