Me neither. ....xxPersonally i could'nt give a toss about football, think they plough up all the football pitches and set potatoes and cabbages,
( runs and hide in shed )
This is one thing that has gripped me for a long time. It even made me go off football altogether.Are football players paid too much ?
Is £93 million too much to pay for one player ?
Personally I think no Leicester won't make the top 6, Wenger has passed his sell by date and cannot help Arsenal win consistent silverware, (ableit the Arsenal board need to approve some serious spending) yes Mouriniho will take MU back to the top, No Pogba was quite cheap when the purchase is put into perspective, yes they are paid too much but they are way down the league on people who are overpaid and many should be paid more.
But what do you think ?
a Nurse will not bring in any more income for the NHS
And all the pitches in wales i'd plant leeks for all you welshiesPersonally i could'nt give a toss about football, think they plough up all the football pitches and set potatoes and cabbages,

Where do you get all these quotes from lol. Youre like a walking fact machine lol.Actually it is a situation that is getting better, I did say I thought it was a good price when viewed respectively, and that thought was based on what clubs used to pay for players, Manchester United paid around 20% of their last seasons profit for Pogba, not bad when you think that they paid over 60% of their pre seasons profit for Dennis Law back in 1962.
Back in 1996 Alan Shearer became the worlds most expensive player when he Newcastle United paid £15million for him, now that WAS expensive since Newcastle's profit for the previous season was around £18million, so paying double their profit to secure the players services. History shows that the it was money well spent and Newcastle made more money by having him in the squad than they paid for him or spent on his wages.
As for footballers salaries, yes it is crazy, but quite low compared with others, a quarter of a million a week for someone like Rooney sounds a lot, it is a lot, it is £13,000 million a year, but sportsmen have a short career and only part of it commands high salaries and even then only for very few of them, an Actor on the other hand can work as a child star to their 70s and look at their wages, Matt Damon has so far earned around £45million for his roles as Jason Bourne, another £11million for the film The Martian.
Madonna worth an estimated £400 million, her MDNA tour earned £233 million.
The NHS, surely they can pay their Nurses more, Manchester United pay their players well, why can't the NHS, oh because they pay their 60 top people TWICE what we pay the Prime Minister Some are earning £280,000 - nearly double David Cameron's salary of £142,500 - plus many have pension pots in excess of £1 million. One chief executive who was flown in from Australia was handed a £50,000 'golden hello' and another was helped with expenses of £36,000 to pay his rent, the Evening Standard reports.
I agree some people deserve more and I hope that some of the money we save on our EU payments will be used to give them a decent salary but comparing them with footballers is unfair, look first at their own bosses.
There is no doubt that in the next few months MUFC will get their money back on shirts and memorabilia bearing Pogba's name and they are hoping that he will also make a difference between such things as Champions League qualification or not, that would bring in millions more.
Sadly a Nurse will not bring in any more income for the NHS and that is a hard fact of business, both MUFC and the NHS are run as businesses, some better than others.
Its basic economics and called laissez faire. We've seen what price capping does and it doesnt work. Lots of things in life are unfair/unequal but id prefer things as they are rather than be dictated too on what I can or cannot do. I makemy own life, take my own decision and live with the consequences.
Right back to football ........ and that perenial question. Does the influx of foreign players help or hinder the England team?
Ive forgotten what it was aboutOk lets stick to the thread please before it gets sidetracked again
Wonder how many lengths of a football pitch this lowly paid nhs worker runs, on a weekly average.
it was a bit more than a fad, football became my life, playing against local teams, actually going to Old Trafford to watch the matches, now not many Utd fans can say they've done that. I chose to focus on being a working mum, the main bread winner at home, then out of nowhere, my life changed.Love it, we all have fads, and some last longer than others, but glad you enjoyed it while you did.
no offence taken, I wasn't really being constructive to the OP. Just giving a little perspective from what I did lovesorry didn't mean to dis your passion, you never forget your first love and yes sometimes other things in life become more important than things we considered important, I don't let my passion for football overrule the other parts of my life but I do love the game.
Being a scouse.. its secong nature.. but am i a red or a blue..
