This is the envy argument - everyone should be paid in accord with the highest paid person. I'm sorry, that's not how a free market works. If we are willing to pay £60 for our tickets and the TV companies are willing to pay billions for TV rights, the players will be paid astonishing sums of money (in reality, not as much as the top US baseball, basketball, hockey and NFL players)
Eriksen has about 5-7 years left at the top (with us hopefully, but in reality elsewhere), and then 50 odd years to provide for his family. Why shouldn't he paid handsomely?
I'm old enough to remember the £20 a week cap on 1st division footballers that Jimmy Hill help do away with. Do we want to return there?
This is a ridiculous argument that gets recycled everytime we're meant to feel sorry for them earning all that money but only until they're 35 and stop playing then what do they do.
Well when they're 35 and stop playing they can always go get... you know a job like us plebs.
Yeah they're paid what they're worth, market dictates blah blah.
It's still fucking obscene and something needs to be done to stop it otherwise where does it end?
Footballs shite now, who gives a shit if City win the league, even City fans know deap down it's all a bit fake. The seasons only interesting because we're all hoping Liverpool slip up again and we're getting a new stadium.
Love my club, but hate football and footballers, selfish greedy cunts. Yeah Eriksens off, Tobys off fuck em, fuck feeling sorry for them because they won't get paid £200k or whatever once they retire.
