Greed of Footballers

by victormeldrewlives @ 2008-07-13 - 16:21:15

At a time when most people are really feeling the pinch, struggling to make ends meet and worrying over just how they will pay their bills, I find it totally disgusting that Premier League footballers continue to get greedier and greedier.

Frank Lampard has reportedly been offered £140,000 a week by Chelsea and still he wants more.
That's £7,280,000 a year. When you think that if someone worked from the age of 18 to 65 and earned a very generous average of £30,000 a year, they would earn £1,410,000 in their entire working life.

Leader of the footballers union, Gordon Taylor, and others in the game, say these players deserve the big salaries because they have a relatively short career in the game. Come on! When they can be earing over 5 times as much a year as what most will earn in a lifetime. The greed of these players grows and grows, demanding big money, taxes paid, cars, big houses and more. While people moan about the pittance they earn and then trot along like simpletons every Staurday of the season, paying exorbitant entrance fees to watch these overpayed and overrated ponces, dance about kicking a ball, and even the balls are soft these days.

Before anyone asks, yes I do like football. No I don't pay to go and watch it. I do believe there should be a worldwide maximum wage and a maxium transfer fee. Let's start and put the sport back into sport. It's not only footballers, it's everywhere in sport, greed, greed, greed!!!!! From gold bars for winning athletes, to big appearance money for playing for your country. That used to be a privilege!

Oh dear, let's not forget, poor Ronaldo. He after all is a modern day slave. And people moan when our GP's are paid £100.000 a year for looking after our health and well being. Get real folks!!!!!

One day enough people may come to their senses and the football stadia will be ringing with the sound of emptiness on a Saturday afternoon. Until then we will continue to get theses pampered prima donnas. It's nearly August all you footie fans, save up the pennies, cos your gonna need much more this season to see your team play!
