"It's the only game I know where cheating is Encouraged Applauded Sanctioned And worse still financially rewarded. International banking is not a sport but it's on a par with football " That's exactly it, I feel as though the cheating is encouraged, not just by the players, but the powers that be too, still the most popular sport on the planet even with all the damaging stuff that goes on. Imagine if the game was played honestly, and the players showed some dignity on the field? | |||

"I think it's only going to be played fairly once they sort out the wages and transfer capping. I always remember Roy keene saying he needed more wages as he couldn't support his family the way they were used to on less than 90k a week I don't get that a year and I still look after my family" That's only one problem with the game, don't see how that affects the cheating on the pitch. | |||

"When talking about money, remember an actor gets easily £8m per film, plus. % of box office and DVD sales. A good actor can make 2-4 films a year, so it's much much more than a footballer earns. " How much do you think a good footballer takes home a year? £1M per month. Advertising contracts. Bonus's. Loads of freebies. Free car Free houses, UK and abroad. Free phones. The list is huge, a lot of the lower league players get a lot of that list too just not the £1M each month | |||

"I would reduce the wages by loads but add a massive preformance based bonus, and a panel to sit and watch games and punish people for any stuff that goes un noticed." I like the performance based bonus idea, would be a good incentive to the players who don't always put in 100%. But I have never really been against the money they earn, they kinda deserve it for all the shit they have to put up with, constantly hounded by the press, opposing fans, etc | |||

"Actors like footballers are grossly overpaid and vastly underworked. I can't agree with anyone who says Footballers deserve the money they get Compare the shit they take with that of nurses, emergency services and armed services...." We dont pay those people enough, same with armed forces but thats not a footballer, golfer, actor, racing drivers fault. | |||

"Very few footballers make 1m a month mate" The number will be higher than the amount of actors due to the various leagues. Maybe not more but similar. | |||

"Mate very very few footballers in the league are getting 250k a week no more then 5 , your right football is an overpaid sport but it is just like any other sport most are Overpaid some baseballers get paid more then a lot Of 'high paid footballers' and don't get me started on basketball. There are a lot of footballers who are only making 300 quid a week man I think the majority are, premier league footballers will obviously be paid a lot as 50'000+ a week come out to watch them plus millions more on TV, not saying it is right but it's just how the cookie crumbles...." I reckon theirs about 10 in the EPL, half a dozen in Spain | |||

"Always a football fan, but now very much find the money involved quite vulgar. The latest thing that has crept in is this mid season tiredness, cos they're having to play too many games. Raheem Stirling given a week off, which involved a game that week, so he could go and recuperate in the Caribbean, cos he was fatigued..... That was an easy 100k that week, bless, the following week he had to put in 12 hours training and 90 minutes on the Saturday.... And it's not an anti Liverpool thread, he's just one example. How would they fare in a proper job? " Very true..i employ two hod carrier's who keep me and nine other brickies going allday with brick's,block's and muck..with two half hour break's..they are both 19yrs old. | |||

"I've seen the money side of the game at the very highest level, and it is corrupt, no other word for it. Most of the senior figures in the game are hopelessly out of their depth, most of the owners are in it for ego and self promotion and most of the players are grossly overpaid relative to their ability. I fell out of love with the economics of the game many years ago, but still love the game in its purest form with a passion. It is why I focus on coaching and kids football and those who play for the love rather than the money." Timely. Was just about to say that FIFA are corrupt. Look at the recent West Ham FA Cup situation. They field an ineligible palyer v Bristol City. The outcome? FIFA earn a fine of £70,000, West Ham continue as they are and the victim, Bristol City get fuck all. | |||

Senegal rejected the opportunity to have him checked by their own doctor. He missed several games due to the injury, then played that game mid way through the a.n.c. | |||

"The green eyed monster alive and kicking...none of those complaining have the talent, fortitude, dedication and physical ability to be a top pro footballer..." . Half the professional footballers don't have the physical ability to play either. Of course it helps you've got a contract giving you 100k a week for the next 3 years when you've gone crock | |||

No they don't " Yeah they do, Cardiff were giving homes in The Vale and Tenerife about 8 years ago, Gary Croft got one when he signed. Cardiff were league two at the time. Prem players now get homes on Palm Island in Dubai or where ever it is. I wasn't guessing with what I said, its factual. | |||

Market economy's often work in reverse when it's in there interests, so long as the people their seeking the bullshit to believe in the bullshit the money rolls in regardless." What? Don't understand what you are on about. Messi and Ronaldo get paid because they play football at the highest levels, the record books establish this. You or my hubby couldn't do this fact, no matter how hard you trained. The same for people like Usain Bolt. Or does he not have a special talent. And yes the market does dictate the price paid. that is why JC Owens and Pele never earned the kind of money that the same sort of professionals do today because the market was different then. They still has comparable skills but the market didn't exist in the same capacity then. So why is it bullshit, it is just external market forces that's all. I am not suggesting that the market will always be as high as this, although it may go higher, but people are commodities just the same as property and gold, and therefore their values can rise and fall dependant on certain factors, bullshit not being one of those. | |||
