Re: Football players pay rise

I didn't say they would but surely everyone should be raised up when the top gets such a rise ! The players are doing nothing more to earn it so spread the love amongst the entire work force.

Re: Football players pay rise

I expect that clubs have to pay top rates to 'buy' or retain their best players and even if we think that they are paid obscene amounts of money for kicking a ball around, well that's just how it is.

Added to that, Sports men & women tend to have a relatively short playing career and during that, they're only one injury away from possible obscurity.

Those of us who do not possess these skills which attract high incomes, either have to improve our position or accept the going rate for the job that we do.

Re: Football players pay rise

Can you not understand when a company does well they could help all the staff ? your stance of have to improve your position etc is ridiculous for many people and if we all accept least employers will give us no one would ever get a pay rise.

People say it's how it is well I say it's not how it should be nor how it needs to be. Help everyone live better get people off the benefits that are paying big businesses wages, working tax credit etc is making you tax bill higher and keeping wage bills down for businesses. Is that really good financial sense ?

This has always been an employers mantra, the only way to escape it is to go self employed, GW must be aware that us self employed Plebs, are only one injury away from a financial catastrophe, don't mean I can charge double to create a "Slush Fund".

Re: Football players pay rise

What the fans pay at the turnstile is just the tip of the iceberg the real money comes from the lucrative TV deals and merchandising.

To be on this particular gravy-train you need to be in the Premier League and preferable in the European Champions league hence the need to get the very best players and pay top rates to achieve this.

None of them are worth 'mega bucks'
Its the fault of the BBC and the like that pay these amounts, if everyone stood firm together, and just paid a 'decent' wage, celebs and the like 'would have to' accept it, like everyone else .............

Not good ones you can't that is something employers seem to forget, seen plenty of people over the years think anyone can be a cleaner only to find they can't.
