Man UTD..£200,000 per week

[grum]

heard it was £36 a second for the month cool

I would think with the help of there clever accountants the tax they pay will be the minimum

What about the bungs they take to fix a game ,, tax free of course

How is it ethical these plebs get such huge sums when our own people are refused a living wage in a lot of cases

And regarding the comment if they have an injury the career is over then let them look for a proper job like everone else has to

Mr Frosts last comment sums it all up

If you dont like it dont watch it. No point whinging over what footballers earn just because you dont. They earn it honestly, unlike a lot of rich people. Good luck to them.

And as said, it is Luis Suarez at Liverpool you are on about. Not at Scum Utd

Looks like the rs owners club valuation team have been advising them on wages as they are known to over value things

Alan are you a football fan? Pay your 600 a year for a season ticket plus fuel etc on top?? Or are you just on an already warn out soap box?

I am and have been fortunate to have followed my favourite club all over, 200k a week is well worth it to watch him!!

[l j shaw]

200k a week ??? Come on ...at very best they do a few hours a day ...how on earth do they earn that.

They really don't give up much do they ...some people work really hard in a dangerous profession for a lot less.

Just think how much your season ticket would come down if they got an average wage. The game of football would not suffer, and your enjoyment would still be the same.

Its a flipin game ... pay the people that save peoples lives the money ,,, how can a dick running around on a football field warrant that money
We have soldiers risking their lives for a pittance and so how can any one condone this

Never mind the shite I enjoy this on a Saturday ,,,, wake up and smell the coffee

Unfortunately as much as I agree alan that's a floored argument.. The clubs are owned by the owners not the government..
It's the government who should pay out emergency services well and armed forces etc..

Top Barristers, Politicians, CEO's of companies are all on big money but don't put their lives on the line so should we demand that they take massive pay cuts

Supply and demand, there are very few players on over £100k a week, I am good friends with an ex Premiership player now playing in the Championship who was very close to getting an England call up and he was on £12,000 a week which I know is a lot of money but not the crazy sums of the few.

Also remember that their career in most cases is 10-12 years and most professionals earn less than £1000 a week in that time.

Stupid Tw4tball.

You know what they say, if you have nothing to say, say nothing

Indeed so.
Even if the majority of the players in the EPL were on 100+ K a week contracts, so what?! Obviously the Premier League PLC has managed to market a highly desirable product around the world; whether you like it or not. Money always ruins the "sport", and the more money involved, the more damage is done, but in terms of the "product" it is a far better spectacle than it was 25-30 years ago.
The wages are just a reflection of the vast sums being made by Sky and the EPL, naturally those that are involved in making it a "spectacle" want their share.
If you don't like it don't "buy it"...

[docscars]

A bad bone break could effect anyone with a manual job.

How ever the football is funded, do they honestly earn the money they claim to.

Our national team is a disgrace, considering we have the best league in the world. You would think we would be the envy of the rest, but we are not,

too many foreign players thats the reason why we have poor national team young home players dont get a chance

[alancdavis]

Silly question but how many of the England team are true English men

[RatHead]
