Don't know if anyone else saw football focus last week, but they were saying that man city would pay £400k a week for the right player ie. David Villa.
Now in my eyes, no footballer in this world deserves or should be paid that amount of money! If it does happen then the world of football will start to decline. I think its scandalous. No player would turn that amount of money down.
Thoughts?

Meh, the bubble will burst sooner rather than later. Let them have their fun, they'll regret it in the future.

Fucking hell thats appaling, even more so in the current financial state of the world.
Wont be long before we get the first £1mill a week player.......I remember Keane being touted as one of the first £10k a week players and the uproar back then.

It's a ludicrous sum yes, but I can't see how it's so much more stupid than 150k a week for John Terry.
Footballers wages are stupidly high, we know that.

Manchester City fans would stop smiling once they have to pay £100 for a matchday ticket.

Football has already been ruined by money. Look at the likes of Bournemouth, Luton, Rotherham, Wimbledon, us (although we got lucky), Oxfrod, there's too many to mention!
There are going to be a few teams going under in the next few years and whilst these Premiership clubs are getting more money than they can handle it won't be any of them.

I'm a firm beleiver of pay as you play and performance related wages. Obviously have a standard rate, but then get paid for playing. You see players, like Owen for example, gets injured and just collects his £100k+ a week for doing nothing.
There are people out there struggling to make ends meet, yet these players are raking it in.

See it things like this that get my back up: Injury-hit West Ham midfielder Kieron Dyer, who last played competitively in August 2007, has had to put his long-awaited comeback on hold - because of flu. |

Here's a list of a couple of thousand people with personal fortunes ranging from £40m upto £27,700m. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/specials/rich_list/rich_list_search/Are they any more deserving of their money? What about the Duke of Westminster who's "talent" was to be his Dad's oldest son and consequently inherit significant chunks of Central and West London. OK he's managed to invest the huge fortune he inherited in more property and make even more money, but I think most of us would have managed that. I'd rather have John Terry pocketing that £7.5m to £8m a year rather than it sitting around in Roman's bank account earning him even more money. |

So presumably you think that anyone that is injured at work should have their salary stopped? |

The difference is that most people on that list are actually wealth creators and provide jobs for people. John Terry doesn't. |

Footballer's don't earn their full salary whilst they have a long term injury. Just like most normal jobs, pay from your employer will stop after x many months and after then insurance payments will start. Insurance generally only pays around 65% of earnings up to £50,000 a year and then 33% of earnings above £50,000, so footballers will only be receiving about a third of their normal pay.

Shit, so Keiron Dyer's only getting about 20-30k a week? The poor lamb, how ever is he managing? |
