Well more fool you mate. There are kids starving in the UK. So paying someone to kick a football around that type of money if fecking ridiculous. Tell me how is someone who kicks a ball around worth 10k a day Football/Sport is one of the few industries where working class young men can use their talent and hard work to obtain fantastic wealth,that shouldnt make them an easy target to plug the holes left by politicians and be targeted to bail out the British Government.There are 2.5 million,millionaires in the Uk....there are 510 Premier League footballers !...footballers are just an easy target....if you want somebody to go after then go after bankers,hedge funds,captain of industry types manipulating market trades as we speak. Sadly we have a culture where certain elements of society would rather criticise working class kids earning fortunes in front of our media entertained eyes through talent and dedication.... than the snidey,hidden away benefit cheats and tax avoiders who dont even get a second glance but cost the country far more.

Bankers and industry captains are not looked on as heros who youngsters want to emulate like footballers are...so when footballers do something they shouldnt or dont do something they should anger is directed at them to the point where people who are pumped full of jealousy cant even see the irony and basic posh boy logic in nailing the working class lads to keep the privileged little Etonian educated toffs out of the picture !

Blackmag 5,870 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I know there's plenty out there doing there bit and I see footballers coming in for flack what the likes of you say posh folk get nothing when the likes of Branson he even sued the nhs or the likes of green etc could do a lot more than footballers putting money in or that geldoff bono and the rest of them are far richer and could do more the likes of them will keep there hands in there pockets and foreign aid should stop as well sort are selfs out first and train and build in case this ever happens again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't care less how much money they earn for the reasons Gnash listed above. I don't buy much into the 'fair share' argument either. It just seems a little suss that the biggest recipients of tax payers money are now pointing the finger at perceived new baddy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,973 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just now, sid g said: 200 mill thats lost uk tax .. Fair one but is that an actual figure based on how much they pay in, or how much they're supposed to pay in? Earlier in the thread I said that corporations shouldn't be able to get massive bailouts unless they're paying in at a level that warrants it. All the big players (players in this context are the likes of Amazon, Starbucks, Google, eBay, Apple, etc) have little or no money where HMIR can touch it. Where does the PL and the top footballers fall into this category? Recipients of taxpayer aid should be the taxpayers. If they're not paying in they shouldn't be getting a payout, at all. The irony that the public sector is now crying foul isn't wasted on me either as their entire livelihood is 100% on taxpayer contributions but everyone is getting hit and those that actually pony up should be the first to get some. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astanley 11,467 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I reckon footie players are like every one else ,some do great things ,some do good things ,and some are selfish fkers ,like all of us ,,I know at least a dozen boxing and kids football teams that would of folded but for the help of fellas society considers ,a bit iffy.Big business ,industry ,and multi millionaires are the same , some great ,some good some a waste of space, .
