I think that most ordinary folk would call 70,000 a YEAR "decent", Bob. And 100 grand a year "very decent indeed".

Never mind twice that a WEEK.

Can these greedy cunts never get enough? How many millions do they need? How many fucking Ferraris and 12-bedroom mansions with snooker rooms and tennis courts?

I don't begrudge anyone a decent wedge for good, honest graft. Even footballers. And yes, those at the very top of their profession (any profession) should get a "very" decent whack.

But footballers' wages have just gone silly now to the point of crass obscenity. Yes you can argue "market forces" / "supply and demand" or whatever - but it's still fucking obscene.

Personally I think that the Bosman ruling was one of the worst things to happen to football, as it kick-started the greed culture that's now firmly taken over the game.

I wholeheartedly agree... to a certain extent there is the market forces argument .

I also agree that the Bosman ruling, while laudable in allowing a player who was being kept at a club against his wishes, has caused, allied with the vasts sums of money paid by Sky and others for TV rights, a culture of greed unparalleled in football history.

Yes Mike. (I was originally dazzled by the Chelsea of the 60s).

to be honest mate I'm kind of looking forward to the season now! Fickle fans eh? Think Hughesy just the man we need. Hopefully no more farce at the CoMS anymore! Can't wait for the derbies too!! Those 6 points per season should help keep us up anyway!!!
