crawshawbooth Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Obscene idea for a man who had approx 6o million quid out of the game in the last 19 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Egg Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Agreed. The Beebs sports reporter was justifying him getting this due to the funds he's helped generate for the premier league. It was his fecking job! One he got handsomely rewarded for. Plus if it's to reward from what he's done over the last 20 years, why should the likes of here today, gone tomorrow clubs like Huddersfield or Brighton pay the same as Chelsea, Arsenal et al?

tomski Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 In any other business you will be well rewarded for the revenues he has created his businesses (clubs) Football isn't any different. I find the money obscene but no more than an average players astronomical wages. At least you could argue he earnt his handshake. I read on twitter all the folk saying give to charity or grassroots? Doesn't it stop becoming charity when it's forced upon? Also I wonder how many of the naysayers give to grass roots/charity? it would be nice but shouldn't be expected.

gonzo Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I’ve no problem in the premier league giving the money, it’s just business. But asking the money off each club? piss off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Aye Over his time he must have brought the thick end of £50bn in, £5m is 2 bits of fuck all compared to that given how much players and agents share of those billions it’s not unreasonable for an executive to get this sort of remuneration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 How much has he earned over the years? Does he actually need this money? ie. is he destitute? Can he actually spend another £5m? Can any of these footballers spend the money they earn each week, month, year? Read yesterday that Soccerdome next to the TC is closing and a lot of local schools that use the facility will miss out - a huge blow to grassroots. Surely the Premier League, FA, wealthy local football clubs, wealthy local footballers can help bankroll some of these facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was of the impression that the payment is more of a sweetener to keep him on side after he leaves, he has to sign some non compete contract or something that means he can’t work for a rights bidder like sky etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You earn more young don't keep living like the man on the street your lifestyle and expenditure goes up. More and more footballers going broke nowadays. I don't think many people in the western world will think they have enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
