NishC300 1,865 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I believe players´ salaries are not pointless to debate about. Perhaps, the above numbers may not be as accurate as one might think but certainly it´s close.I find it almost repulsive to see it for any footballer to make so much.When one compares these wages to an eye surgeon who saves your eyes & makes much less, it´s sickening, in my view.Unlike some, I can answer you in a much more civilized way...Salaries were never based on how important their role is to society. It is solely based on how much your job can profit your employer!Sportsmen and Artists are capable of making people spend their money, so what they make is actually only a small percentage of what they give in return. The amount of money they generated to sponsors, clubs, associations, etc is a lot more than what they earn.Doctors, Nurses, Firefighters and Teachers (on the other hand) dont give any money in return for what they do. Yes, it is way more important and unfair, but that is not how the world goes.It is really expensive for the government and hospitals to maintain a good staff, while in the showbusiness it is rather lucrative!To add to what Rmpr's the same applies for products. A bottle of water is way cheaper than a PS3 even though a bottle of water is essential to survival and a PS3 isn't. It's really because a bottle of water costs less to make then a PS3. (sorry if my post sounds stupid) Also bcoz Necessities r usually made cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Eden Hazard - £185,000 Branislav Ivanovic - £28,500 Those 2 I find hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 All professional players are overpaid. The surgeon is not so good a comparison as they earn a fucking shed load anyway, nurse paramedic is better- but at least theyre contributing to society.The Ancient Romans worked out a way to control the masses and stop any sort of insurrection , this they called 'Bread and Circuses'. These two kept the proles down.This philosophy is still used by the rich now, which is why such a high value is put on 'entertainment' in the present. The populace are engorged on the dual tenets of media /entertainment overload and obesity, whilst the entertainers are paid way over what they are worth as a social function..... But Torres takes the fucking biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yesterday, I heard the tennis player Nadal bought himself a watch for over 400 thou €.Sorry boys, but there are many people in this world who could use the money in much more useful way.

It is not some sort of sin to have money or buy what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not some sort of sin to have money or buy what you want.Have I said anything as you indicated ? No, I have not.Of course, those with money will buy whatever they wish to. Roman bought Chelsea.Currently, the world economy is in shambles because of some idiots, greedy cunts everywhere.Are you not tired to pay 50 quids to see Ferda´s pathetic display ? I just feel, there are many more important matters in the world than to pay footballers 150 thou/week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I refuse to believe Hazard is on 185k per week. I mean yeah he will obviously earn a good amount because of his transfer fee but it's still hard to believe he would be given 185k a week at 21.I wish it was like American sports and we knew exactly how much each player earned. There wouldn't be all the speculation and lies that go around in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF?I said it seemed that you were somewhat blamming Nadal for buying a 400k watch, you already said it wasnt that. I never said it was right (I even said it wasnt) or that you envied the guy...Alright, move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Even though, I do not agree with much of FFP but I still believe some sort of restrictions should be applied to football salaries.These excessive salaries should not be allowed for much longer.Even some managers, Wenger comes to my mind, have not won anything for 8 years but makes loads of money for talking shit, daily.
