They can still pay towards the vital services you are on about by making a substantial donation without taking a pay cut, especially in a time of need like at the present.

You can dress it up as much as you like but he still kicks a ball about. I’m not a big fan of actors either so I side with you on that one.

Don't try to justify the obscene earnings with others in the entertainment world like actors. presenters, models or even directors in the business world.

Compare them to those doing vital life saving jobs like Doctors, Consultants, Surgeons in the medical profession.

As for being a hard life getting to the top, it is not so hard if your parents know the right people or you have a parent who who also played the game and has the contacts within the game.

Most of today's footballers at the top deserve all the stick they get as they have proved that they are no different than some of the other people you are on about as they have proved that like them, they are no different where greed and selfishness is concerned.

As far as I am concerned, footballers are no more important than the farmers, bakers, food processing workers who produce the things for our everyday living which at the present time has shown to be true!

How do you know they don't already?

The only sport that i can think of that is as hard to get to the top as football is American Football,it is so hard to make it its ridiculous

Some clearly are, some will be and we won’t know but the majority won’t be. They’ll be waiting till the negotiations have taken place and dragged out for as long as possible.

In other footballer news, they’re clearly filling their time productively, hosting sex parties, visiting friends or hosting club training sessions down the local park. They live in a bubble the majority of them. Yes they’re being scapegoated to a degree but they don’t help themselves.

Agree

It's the British way...

No doubt a minority are, but I think you find that the majority arde not!

Only proving that some of them consider themselves to be something special and exempt from the restrictions imposed on those who provide them with their income, be it a season/match ticket or a subscription to BT/SKY SPORTS.

A major major step forward with this central fund the players have set up. They’ve always got a step back in them though with a players agent (Toby Alderweirald) coming out now and pushing for players to be able to walk away from clubs for free if mandatory pay cuts are enforced. I get his point but jeez keep it to yourself man! You almost feel for some of the players when it comes to the agents because guy like this fella and Riola are the dregs of existence.

Correct, but they get paid a fee for doing a movie. As they are not filming at the moment, they wont be earning.
