Average wage of £61,000 a week in the premier league.
There are people struggling to get by on £94 a week from the government. These PL players are making that every FIFTEEN MINUTES, 24 hours a day.
That's £1,525 per hour if you break it down in terms of a 40 hour working week.
To make Universal Credit amounts, a premier league footballer could turn up for training at 9am on a Monday and leave at 9:03.
People talk about how a footballers career is short blah blah. Imagine you had someone following you around handing you £400 on the hour, every hour, every single day for ten years
If you're the best actor in the world, you get paid a pretty extravagant amount of money for it. If you're in the best bands, making the best music and getting the biggest crowds then you're going to earn a lot of money. I really don't understand why people get annoyed footballer wages or the basic economic reasons for it. How much are you willing and or able to pay to watch football on TV or go to the stadium? That's risen in line with consumer demand. People will pay to watch it in their homes, in pubs and everywhere else. Hundreds of millions if not something I would guess approaching over one billion or about 20% of the entire planet probably watch football or are involved in industry that benefits from showing live sport or attending games. If you think of every single person in the world who's ever kicked a ball, these guys at the very highest level are going to be a very, very small percentage that are paid in line with their relative levels of skill. The only thing I can find myself being angry about is the tax avoidance that their earnings will undoubtedly be going through - but that can be said for almost everyone with wealth beyond spending their monthly salary.
The striking thing there is the huge difference in average salary for a 30+ forward in Spain in comparison to elsewhere, even the EPL. The English come out tops in virtually every bracket except that one - where they lag almost £2m per annum behind Spain. Presumably distorted by the big name forwards at Barca and Real who are, in the main, over 30?
I wonder if that's something to do with players being in Spain at the peak of their careers.

Nobody ever gets really annoyed at Tom Cruise getting £20 million per film because they once acted in a local theatre or complains about Coldplay selling 2 million albums because they played a few gigs at the ABC.

The EPL has gone to shit imo before this all came about,ruined by too much money.I don't even think the product is very good anymore either,it's mostly propaganda imo.The EPL in particular, this shows why they are so desperate to restart the current campaign.
So many fans of all clubs will have died.
Hold a minutes silence or applause, depending on the feelings of the nation, and all is fine.
Continue as if nothing has happened and take up 15 minutes TV time debating a VAR decision.
Money is bordering on ruining football.

They’re getting paid for having a unique talent.I love football but if you break it down.
Training 3 hours per day 4 days a week.
Playing 1 90 minute game once a week with 50 minutes warm up and cool down.
Folk will say but their lifestyle, the majority of folk these days eat well and dont drink the same as in previous decades.
Sickening.
You dont even have to be good looking. The films that gross the most in the last few years are Superhero films, action franchises and animated films so you could throw either throw a mask and cape on or sit in a cosy recording studio knowing that you're film is going to pull in a billion and you are going to be paid pretty handsomely because of itI do haha. I think actors and pop musicians are the most overpaid people on the planet. You don’t even have to be great at either to be a success now days, you just need to be good looking.

You could teach a professional ninety percent of our jobs in five years plus ongoing on the job learnings.
Ninety odd percent of us could never learn what even the lowest professional footballers do.

Okay I'll grant you this.
It is a unique talent.
However not at this crazy weekly wage. Many players from decades ago would have to go find a job once retired from the game. They never drove a Porsche or had a fancy house. They were normal men.
Baxter was the best we will ever see, he didnt have this luxury of all the money.
Just before that, we sent kids up chimneys etc.Okay I'll grant you this.
