Wayne Rooney has criticised the government and Premier League for putting Britain’s top-flight footballers in a “no-win situation” over the problem of pay cuts, with Gary Lineker and Gary Neville also speaking out.

Writing in the Sunday Times, Rooney claimed his fellow professionals were being lined up as “easy targets” in the wider response to the coronavirus crisis and branded government criticism of players “a disgrace”.

If only we had a group of people in charge of the whole country with the ability to dictate how much money they take from the wealthiest people.

While criticising footballers, the tory government will undoubtedly bail out billionaires Richard Branson and Philip Greene who've screwed over their employees.

the public have been moaning about the amount footballers are paid for a long time, it's no surprise to me that they are seen as target now. When times are tough, things get real

I recently learnt Branson was a massive self entitled tool , it's always the richest who behave the worst . The amount of money they have yet they still act greedy.

NHS makes undisclosed settlement to Richard Branson's Virgin Care after legal dispute

This man will get a bail out, yet footballers who've been actively supporting the NHS, providing and working with food banks etc, are an easy public enemy to obfuscate how the gov have handled this crisis from the start.

I don't think having having sex with older people is a sex crime. That's probably the main reason.

Rooney is worried Coleen will leave if he ain't bringing in big money?

Footballers are an easy target, are other CEO’s being asked to give up 30 per cent of income, they should take a cut but then so should many others, TV broadcasters and media tycoons

They are easy targets for a reason

Many have gone off partying
One crashed his car the day after begging people to stay indoors
Another had a sex party while saying people should follow rules

Even if he has a point in what he is saying?

The excuse that made me smile the most was, taking money off footballers means they pay less tax, which means the NHS suffers.

I'm of the opinion that overpaid footballers should not continue to be paid the massive amounts they get while the football club itself takes taxpayers money to pay the rest of the staff.

He’s not wrong at all, but it’s become cool to hate on footballers at this time though, so a few won’t admit it.
