Good morning 59-60.
Personally I don't really buy into the argument you're making. Certainly there are fat cat directors creaming off more than they should, others, whose talents and business acumen add so much to the value of the company, get their rewards, huge rewards admittedly but I've no problem with that. There are others creaming off more than they're entitled to that annoys me more, those running the big, now politically motivated charities, numerous NGOs and public bodies. A fine example is the bureaucracy running the NHS, the various NHS trusts where lethal inefficiency is well rewarded with huge salaries, gold plated pensions and the ability to be sacked from one sinecure to walk straight into another. It's not just the private sector taking the piss out of the working man, indeed I'd say the piss taking is far more prevalent in the public sector and it certainly annoys me more.
Difficult to make any correlation with the wacky world of football finance imo, where our club appears to be an oasis of sanity in a desert of lunacy. It still amazes me, although perhaps I shouldn't be amazed, that so much of the huge amounts of cash thrown at the game by the TV companies is allowed to be squandered on ridiculously high wages and agents fees, while the vast majority of clubs run at a loss and are in financial difficulty. It's appalling governance that tolerates this state of affairs, perhaps some of those fat cat company directors from the private sector should be brought in to sort it out.
Back to your original premise that us Burnley fans are operating double standards, can't speak for others, but in my case I don't think I am, I don't object to anyone making as much money as they can from their occupation, providing it's lawful, whether in football or business, and I expect our board to pay Dyche a sum commensurate with his ability to keep us in a division guaranteeing a turnover in excess of £120m a year.
