This is going to be a good topic I think so let's get going with it! I think there should be a basic wage for all footballers, as alot of them earn more money doing adverts and through sponsership.

Originally posted by expressiveoutburstThe owners charge such an outrageous price based on what the market will pay and make such large profits why shouldn't the players get a cut. After all their playing careers are very short lived and usually played for free many years before becoming a pro. Why does no one complain about the owners salaries?

Why not? Funnily enough I found your type of ignorant heckler at 'Speaker's Corner' Hyde Park (or Tower Hill) more entertaining.
Just because you don't like football (too many common people, no doubt), doesn't mean the people who play it should be starved.

Originally posted by cashthetrashWhen I posted this I meant for it to be all football, but put footballers as it fitted in the title space. Just because players dont have that long careers doesnt mean that they cant do something afterwards. Take the wigan chairman for example, he played for Man United in the days they didnt get paid that much, and since then he has made JJB Sports company into a big chain and become chariman of Wigan, sponsering the club with his firm and getting them to the Premiership.

Just one example of course......
