MC Spyda Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Why on earth would anyone turn down a large salary? If anyone thinks they would rather not have all that money, then give it to charity. No point in turning it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Of course they get paid too much, and more than they deserve, but if the clubs see fit to pay them so much, then let them. If they hadn't started paying huge wages, it wouldn't be the norm now. If someone offered you a job as an accountant for £50,000 or in your local shop for £75,000 a week, as if you would turn it down, seriously.

It does always seem to be football that is used as an example, when there are plenty of other careers where people are paid these obscene amounts of money and more.

andikay Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Why all the jealousy anyway? It's not like the taxpayer is funding footballer's wages. If you think Man Utd for example are paying their players too much then stop supporting Man Utd! I agree, I won't support any of them for that very reason, why would I work hard just to help pay a footballer a fortune to kick a ball about. They deserve every penny that their supporters are prepared to pay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Footballers probably aren't that different from other professions. At the top level the best people in most industries get huge wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Footballers probably aren't that different from other professions. At the top level the best people in most industries get huge wages. People tend to think of the "top level" of football as being the top three or four clubs, rather than considering the hundreds of thousands of people who play football at some level - mostly not even good enough to be paid at all - and considering the best couple of thousand of them as "top level."
