Football players pay rise

I often do work at Watford training ground at london colony , next door its arsenal ground in what I sometimes do work , at Watford the players are on less than half in what arsenal players, remember a short while back at Watford the manager was explaining to us how the wage structure in the different divisions and sponsors , he said if Watford moved up to the premier league the players would get a large pay rise , some players will get £20.000 £30.000 and £40.000 plus aweek pay rise , depending on the player, I just heard Watford has been promoted to premier league

Re: Football players pay rise

I'd be more interested in what the lower paid workers get out of it, cleaners etc.

Markey, are you really trying to get my blood pressure up

It's a piece of bloomin nonsense. Kicking a ball about a field?

Cleaners don't score goals, the ones that do bring in the money to pay the cleaners.

Re: Football players pay rise

There is one chap kicking a ball about a field who is on £300.000 a week.

It is the fault of the fans for paying over inflated prices to watch them.

Celebrities get paid megabucks. Football players are treated like celebrities to some. I can sort of understand it.

But without the support staff they wouldn't be able to even play a game. They need the cleaners etc to be able to kick a ball.

Re: Football players pay rise

It seems that football (at the top level) is no longer a sport, but a business. You pay top dollar to get the best players and if you're successful, more people will pay to see them.
But again, top footballers are another easy target. Only a few earn the megabucks that are mentioned in these posts and every weekend, lower ranked clubs, right down to pub teams, turn out for very little reward.

As for what the lower paid staff get out of it - I'm afraid that nobody is going to say "Let's go and watch the 'Rovers'. Their cleaners do a great job."
