Add Wayne Rooney, “I’m in a position where I could give something up. Not every footballer is in the same position. Yet suddenly the whole profession has been put on the spot with a demand for 30 per cent pay cuts across the board. Why are footballers suddenly the scapegoats?'
It's not the whole profession or even all footballers, its the greed of Premier Players who are quite happy to see their lesser paid colleagues loosing pay, when if just one player in each Premier squad went without pay would probably cover most of what the 'ordinary' worker is losing.
