How much more do they want?
July 11th 2009 15:47
Most journeymen footballers earn at least a four figure sum each week. Those with a greater degree of skill earn more; anything from £50,000 to £150,000 a week, plus extras of course.
And yet ... some of them want a pay rise!
What can they possibly do with so much? Surely it is nothing less than pure greed. It's like a child taking the whole bag of sweets when offered one. At least there's an excuse to be made for the child.
Recently, one player was offered a contract worth in excess of £200,000 per week. Rather than be grateful for such a ludicrous offer, he asked about his share of the transfer money, which would give him an extra lump sum of £16million. He then showed his crassness by thinking anyone other than himself would believe him when he stated "It's not the money, it's the chance of playing for a big club." If that's the case mate, play for nothing.
He must surely be the leader of all those players who come from the planet Zog.
