Mr saint Posted 15 January, 2009 Share Posted 15 January, 2009 Exactly, it simply ridiculous. I've heard reports that it could be as high as £110m with over £500,000 a week in wages? Why?....to kick a little ball around a field about once a week. With everything going on in the world at the moment with economic hardship, starving children in Africa, men working in sweatshops 12 hours a day for Primark etc. it makes you wonder how these big names in football (the players, managers, owners etc.) manage to sleep at night. I would absolutely love to see Saints get taken over to ensure our long term survival but I'd hate it to be on the scale on a Man City or Chelsea takeover. I would absolutely love to see them go bust in about 5 years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over yourself, its not the footballers fault. I for one wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I'm being paid that much money for something that in the big scheme of things is totally irrelevent to the world. I'm not saying I wouldn't love to be paid that much (of course I would!),but if I was I'd like to think I was at least contributing something valuable to the world. Professional football on the whole has grown to be completely ridiculous. It should never have got to the stage where some people actully think these sort of wages are acceptable.

Thedelldays Posted 16 January, 2009 Share Posted 16 January, 2009 (edited) If this deal goes ahead then football has had it, this deal is an insult to the hard working fan that spends all they have on tickets etc Monay has ruined the game and I hope lots of clubs go bust when these money men get bored. why would have football "had it" there are a very few players in the world that would command such a fee just to allow their clubs to accept.. how much would it take clubs to think about parting with these players.. ronaldo gerrard messi and of course kaka it would take £100m for each of those players..but the fact that man c are doing it seems to **** off alot of fans... people are saying they are throwing cash around..well, I dont think so..bridge fee was fairly reasonable...they are going toe to toe with spurs for bellamy...just that kaka is a one off... I would love it if he came to this country people have been saying clubs would be in trouble when the money men get bored..i see that is getting thrown at chelsea right now...whilst they are 3rd in the league, still in the FA cup, QF of the champions league....not bad if that is a crisis... am still waiting for SISU to go tits up at cov (like the people said would happen on here soon enough) Edited 16 January, 2009 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge too far Posted 16 January, 2009 Share Posted 16 January, 2009 The daft thing about the money involved is that every player in the country will be looking for a pay rise. If Kaka's deemed to be worth £500K a week, then Ronaldo, Drogba, etc. etc. at the top of the Premiership will up the ante. Then the lower order in the Premiership will up the ante. Then the top flight players in the CCC will do the same. You get my drift........... Ultimately it will mean the death of lower order League clubs because many of them are already struggling to pay players at current levels.

Hatch Posted 16 January, 2009 Author Share Posted 16 January, 2009 I just don't get where they get the figure for the transfer fee from. There is no way of Man City getting any of that money back.

I believe this is a one off..and very few players in the world would command such money.... if man city were throwing money around..why not just bid £30m for bellamy....and £30m for scott parker..? they are being sort of sensible in their position...to get a kaka/ronaldo/messi...the sums of money being talked about would be the case for any team wanting them...

Linvoy's Afro Posted 16 January, 2009 Share Posted 16 January, 2009 I'm so sick to death of hearing people whinge about 'that money could go on hospitals'. Last I checked it wasn't up to the board of Man City to support the NHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwig Posted 16 January, 2009 Share Posted 16 January, 2009 I'd like to see Man City splash out £20-£25M on some British-based players, hopefully some form of multiplier would form and it'd trickle down throughout the entire league pyramid. Such a thing is possible, but not if Citeh spunk it all abroad instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swannymere Posted 16 January, 2009 Share Posted 16 January, 2009 You just know that he'll get injured in the first couple of weeks, how patient will the fans be when a player has a long term injury and is picking up £500k a week?
