It's just a case of supply and demand. They supply us with endless moments of creativity and passion, you know? I mean you reading a book wouldn't do the same really. Well, suppose what you'd be wearing might help. lol. Sorry, couldn't resist!

I know this.

But I still find it hard to class playing football as a 'job'. I really do.

Footballers get paid a lot because they bring a lot of money into the country.
They get paid a lot because people choose to watch them..
Football on tv gets a massive audience..

Most will only get paid that high wage for like 8 years when they are young they dont get paid as much, then when they get to old they get a reduced money contract..

Actors and singers both get paid more..

Most of footballers money comes from sponsership.

[Crimson Dynamo]

League One, annual earnings with the average of around Ł67,850 or Ł1,305 a week. While down in League Two, the average of Ł49,600 brings in just Ł954 a week.

On the non-league scene, players in the Conference (Division Five if you want) take home around Ł20-30,000 a year.

Again absolute nonsense. So athletics is a hobby, golf etc all hobbies for people. Yeah no worries "dear"

We will agree to disagree - you have your opinion, I have mine.

There are loads of footy players who have foundations and charities set up, Stephen Ireland for one does a great deal amount of charity work.

Google it. Do you give to charity from your earnings?

It is easy to give Ł20,000 a year to charity if you earn Ł3,000,000 a year


and the foundations are led by the charities or agents not by the players.

[Stacey.]

yeah, a little.

[rapunza1977]

Your last statement is unture I am afraid - sorry not being argumentative it is
some may be but not all.....they cannot win. What percentage of income do you give to charity? Where are you getting your figures from Ł20k in a year from Ł3m??

Your argument is that prem football players give a lot to charity. I am asking how much and what is the percentage of that to their income?

Too many times we see people fall over celebrities because they donate what seems like a lot of money to us but is actually a fraction of their overall income.

If I give the NSPCC Ł50 pm, Ł600 per year and earn Ł20000 annually then it is roughly 3 % of my income.


Robbie Keane earns roughly Ł4,000,000 annually (prob more) so to match my example he should be giving Ł120,000 annually

does he?

[\PJ/]

Nope i don't think so we could say the same about actors,soap stars,singers ECT.

[kjtnation]

They are. It's a waste of money.

As much as I love footie, yes and it's a bloody joke.

Have to say it - the 'bloke' in your sig is one ugly bugger - he looks like he belongs in a zoo! Really - not a pleasant sight!

Discuss.

Indeed a couple of dozen over sexed over paid hooligans kicking a ball round a field like some demented children with behavour problems.......I wouldn't pay them in rusty washers..........Who's to blame........The mugs who pay good money to watch the idiots........

[30stone]

You could say it about a lot of sports people.

F1 drivings.
Golfers.
American football players.
Basketball players.
Baseball players.

At top level all get payed more than footballers.

[Jords]

Yes, way too much some of them!
