Not everyone is as greedy and grabby though.Bullshit you would. I bet you're one of these insufferable poeple like my mother who claims she'd be perfectly happy with a lottery win of £500k.
Fact is that greed is part of human nature. Some people manage to live without it, but they are in a minority. The reality is that most people will try and get the most money possible so that they could live a better and better lifestyle. I don't doubt that 9 out of ten people who say they don't want money or much of it to be happy would be the first ones after the biggest paycheque going or wish their lottery win was £27m instead of £150k.
Take it from me, my ex came from a very wealthy family and I had a taste of the other side of living. It isn't the complete recipe for happiness, but those who say that money doesn't buy you happiness forget that whilst it indeed may not do that, it certainly makes life damned easier and more enjoyable. It is also very hard to leave. What does a footballer do when he can no longer earn the money? His option is to want to live a certain lifestyle. He sees the footballers of yesteryear like Micky Hazard and his job as a taxi driver and thinks, "I don't want to end up like that". He takes the biggest cheques so that he can build his investments and never have to worry about not living a life of privilege again. One week's salary, even for Eto'o, wouldn't even come close.
So reckon if we were all honest, most of us would be after the biggest cheque. I would and I make no bones about it. I intend to make the most money I can in life and retire as rich as possible as that I can have as easy a life as possible, and I make no apologies for that. Plus, I reckon I might need to be a millionaire to be able to afford Spurs tickets in 20 years.
Not talking for me by the way. I certainly fucking am.
You guys do realise he does not train with the team and resides in Milan most of the time where he has a personal coach and a plane that gets him to and fro Russia , professional ?
Yeah, he's a cunt. But, to be fair, the team itself trains and resides in Moscow which is 1,000 miles away from their home ground -- relying on a private jet to get them to and from Dagestan -- because of how dangerous the region is.
Honesty is a rare quality these days.Bullshit you would. I bet you're one of these insufferable poeple like my mother who claims she'd be perfectly happy with a lottery win of £500k.

Samuel Eto'o clashes with Cameroon boss Marc Brys AGAIN
Eto'o had an explosive confrontation with Brys ahead of this month's World Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde and Angola and decided to sack Brys last Thursday, before he reinstated him.
Samuel Eto'o clashes with Cameroon boss Marc Brys AGAIN as their power struggle takes another turn - after football federation chief removes equipment and cancels bus to training following heated argument
- Cameroon boss Marc Brys has clashed with federation president Samuel Eto'o
- The pair's ongoing power struggle took another bizarre twist at the weekend
PUBLISHED: 14:27 BST, 4 June 2024 |
The ongoing power struggle within Cameroonian football continued at the weekend after boss Marc Brys again clashed with Samuel Eto'o.
The pair have endured a tricky relationship ever since Belgian coach Brys was appointed as manager in April.
The decision to bring Brys in was made by the country's Sports Ministry, rather than the Cameroonian football federation (Fecafoot), which is led by Eto'o, something that infuriated the former Chelsea, Inter Milan and Barcelona striker.
Eto'o then had an explosive confrontation with Brys ahead of this month's World Cup qualifiers against Cape Verde and Angola and decided to sack Brys last Thursday, before he reinstated him later that day and apologised.
However, the latest episode of their rivalry took a new twist on Sunday as the pair were involved in another disagreement.
According to Belgian outlet HLN, as the Cameroonian staff and players gathered in the Hilton hotel in the capital city Yaounde, Fecafoot had sent their own technical staff to join the national team.
They even sat down opposite Brys and his staff, creating a tense atmosphere in what was another attempt by Eto'o to impose his authority.
However, Brys refused to work with the team sent by Fecafoot and after a standoff, the hotel staff intervened and showed them out of the door because they did not have an official reservation at the hotel.
This infuriated Eto'o, who hit back by taking away all of the equipment from Brys' team, which meant they were left with no balls to train with.
Eto'o even reportedly cancelled the team bus that was set to take the squad to training on Monday.
A video on social media subsequently showed Brys trying to keep the calm in the hotel lobby, where he was joined by several of his players.
The report goes onto explain how Brys then led his team on a walk around Yaounde, while some of his staff went to local shops to buy footballs and other important pieces of equipment ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier with Cape Verde.
Speaking to local media, Brys told RIS Radio: 'We have no balls, no material, no equipment. Nothing at all.
'Whether our internship is going well? No, not at all. Isn't this unheard of? I have been in the coaching profession for 26 years. But I've never seen anything like it.'
However, despite the significant handicaps he faced, Brys - who is still to manage a game for Cameroon - remained optimistic.
'We must show the 30 million Cameroonians that even if there are people who want to oppose us, we want to fight for the country,' he added.
Several current and players also took to social media to express their frustration with the situation as they called on Brys and Eto'o to sort out their difference.
Oyongo Bitolo, who won 50 caps for Cameroon between 2013 and 2022 said on Instagram: 'Is this war really necessary? Don't you realise how serious this situation is?
'If we achieve bad results later, it will be the players' fault. Now just make sure that we can perform well against Cape Verde and Angola. Everyone has to put their ego aside.'
Meanwhile, Dinamo Moscow winger Moumi Ngamaleu, who has 49 caps for his country, added: 'Keep politics far away from us. You have to create a favorable environment around the national team, so that we can play football without any worries.
'We implore you: put aside those differences. Put your ego aside. And together let's put Cameroon on the world map. The Cameroonian people should be proud to be part of this country.'
