Players Wages

Just a little rant but i for one am getting rather pee'd off with hearing about players havent been payed for a week on SSN.

I DONT CARE!

As it is they are all weathly guys so a weeks wages isnt going to bankrupt them. I mean what do they want us to do? feel sorry for them? make a donation?

You really are completely unbelievable. Words fail me, they really do.
 
Both you take one of these. :chill:

Channels, such as SSN, were made to deliver the news and they are doing this. If you don't want to know about this then turn it off.

Agreed, but surely the general public dont need to hear about how these young rich men havent been paid?

They are NOT rich young men, not at this level. Yes, their wages may be a little higher than some, but it's a big lump in the lap and needs careful managing for their later life. Our 1st team players are probably on an average £1200 p/w - that's not massive by any stretch.

I havent heard once on SSN about how are players arent being paid. It is mainly Portsmouth you hear about. You cant tell me the lads who play for Pompey havent got a decent looking bank account already?
 
I think he may have been talking about Portsmouth (because he said rich). I'm sure that Pompy fans want to know this. Wouldn't you want to know if our players weren't being paid?

I do think that the top players (even though they are the extreme minority of footballs) get overpaid but the pressure they endure from the public is immense. If you got a speeding fine then no-one would care (no offence intended to either of you lovely gentlemen/women), but if a premierleague player does then his name is spread all over the newspapers, internet and magazines. The pressure can be SO intense that it can lead to mental illness (depression etc. and fair play to the BBC for doing a top notch documentary on it). Its a hard life but I'd still love to be a footballer.

EDIT : Looks like you were talking about Pompy which is fair enough, but remember that there are only a few players on mega wonga (Utaka on £80k p/w :O) but there are some reserve players who don't get much and still need to afford the same things as you and me.

Point taken my friend.
Was a silly post to post. All i am trying to get across is, i am fed of reading, hearing about it. If i was a pro footballer, i wouldnt want information such as my wages not being paid printed on every newspaper and read out on every news channell. I know that it happens all the time now due to the media coverage of the game but surely some things should be kept quite.

I understand and you have every right to post. You didn't swear your head off, abuse anyone and made a valid point. I don't like it when they repeat the same thing over and over again (especially when players are moaning) but I don't think they are.

Wouldn't mind that a month, let alone a week :(
