£ 600.000 ... a week :( How obscene is that :(

Gareth Bale’s father was a school caretaker in Cardiff.

What do top actors earn for each film

A teacher earns more than a school cleaner or dinner lady

Footballers get it because the majority of them are working class and didn’t go to public school?

of course teachers and nurses, etc- don't bring a joy to many

Agreed Suzie, why is it always footballers who get a hard time about getting high salaries. Football brings alot of joy for many, and alot players know what it is like to suffer poverty. Marcus Rashford for one, look at the good he done with the childrens school meals.
I really do not begrudge him his salary, or that of any other football player.

Exactly my feelings rafi. The real scandals and obscenities are our so called leaders giving out contracts and jobs to their mates regardless. The well paid footballers are not harming us but all these failed services provided/ run by Johnson’s chums will kill and disable many over the next few months

Good luck to him, why does it bother some posters?
Footballers as a whole earn a high salary. It's just the way it is. I really cannot get het up about it.

Suziewoozie true..... baronial splendour at least on those wages, nothing less will do!

btw, he flew into Luton and went straight to the Club- will he be spending 14 days there isolating?

Scandalous when come October after furloughs there'll be thousands looking for work.

Curly you haven’t seen the house I have in mind ......

suziewoozie

Well yes but at least it’s his only job and he does it well. Can I raise you £100,000 a year for 7 hours a week for a complete failure who supposedly already has a full time job? ?

I wonder who that might be ???

A nice house? He could buy her one a week, or a whole village on those wages!

Perhaps he’ll buy his mum a nice house (wish I were his mum) ?

I know, the announcement had me thinking too - just what would/could you do with that much money? Even living in extreme luxury, you would be hard pressed to spend it all. Unless the excess was used for good causes (which he may very well do) what's the point of just amassing millions and millions that you couldn't spend in your lifetime?

thank you grannyrebel17 - glad you agree

Gareth Bale returning to Spurs, but £600,000 a week I agree is obscene. No-one needs that much money. I hope he contributes a lot of that to charity.

Well yes but at least it’s his only job and he does it well. Can I raise you £100,000 a year for 7 hours a week for a complete failure who supposedly already has a full time job? ?

Mmm - my shoe budget?
My prosecco habit?
My OAP?

For what, or who?

If I knew what your are talking about, I might be similarly outraged!
