Why do people get so bothered about the amount of money footballers earn? And so what if they're bellends?
It's not like footballers back in the day weren't bellends either. They were just poorer bellends.

yeah it's only money, not like there's a major recession out there or anything. all these footballers simply must earn anything from £50,000-£200,000 PER WEEK!
Footballers back in the day were proper men - not a bunch of moaning, diving, petulant twats.
[/quote]Its relative to the earnings of the sport though.
In the 70's a club earned a million a year now they earn 150m a year.

I realise that, but i'm just of the opinion the money they get is way, way OTT. Not the players fault of course, but it's still hard to stomach all the same.
I'm not underestimating their importance and the fact that they deserve to be very well paid, but the sums of money they get nowadays is beyond the pale imo.

Especially when there are kids in africa that are starving and all.
