Popular Post UpTheLeagueFox Posted 3 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 August 2019 17 minutes ago, Gerard said: When Maguire retires he'll have 50+ years of life expectation in front of him. Going into that with probably no more income for the rest of your life is a big difference if your net worth is £10m or £20m. If I was the same age as Maguire and earning what he's earned so far and what he earns for the next 6-7 years, I would be able to see out my days comfortably. But that's because I try and manage my money properly. Yes it's a relatively short career as a footballer but I never buy the nonsense that they can't get a job and earn a wage after they retire. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Maguire might have a lifestyle that he wants a house that costs £5m+, new cars for him and the wife every year that total £0.5m, four holidays a year at £50k a pop. £10m net worth means you have to sacrifice some of those things when you retire, £20m not so much.

Mr Mister Posted 3 August 2019 Share Posted 3 August 2019 Disappointed to see Maguire leave. It has thrown a spanner in the works for Leicester's plans for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being tight for money and being able to live the life free of financial restraint are two different things. He has bigger ambitions than your average Joe because of his circumstances.

Yep, he might want all those things. I might want all those things. However, I live within my means and only pay for what I can afford/justify.

At the moment we are all guessing & hoping..On Leicester taking those massive strides in the next 2-3 seasons but I am more inclined to believe that Manutd have a stronger squad,and have had a strong Pre-season.. I believe we was terribly wrong in lettiing Him go this season.. We have given a competitor,motivation,a physcological push,and it will have a slight downer on city players.... We have a great squad ,the best in our PL-period..We can't really compare further back in our history... Manutds struggles have been to compete for a top 3 place...top 6-4, is still easily within their scope....That they haven't been near top 3 has been their struggles and shambles ...Some of the also-ran fans are underrating the Still-real-talent and potential in Arsenal's & Manutd squad ,fringe,and youth players....We have to smash into that level,and prove we can earn and consolidate into that top 6-4 level. Those present top 6,just have to blink,and their prospects & realtime potential goes up a few notches.... We haven't reached that level of belief.. as a club...or squad...!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's 26 years old and doesn't want to be concerned about money when he retires if he has the power to do so. His projected net worth by the time he retires has more than doubled overnight now his signing by Man Utd is imminent. I'm sure Maguire would cope easily if his footballing ability and earning skills were only good enough for League Two but circumstances change. Most people would jump at the chance to double or triple their earning power and adjust their lifestyle accordingly. I'm sure if you won £100m on the Euro lottery then what you're happy with now isn't going to be the same in a year.

Or maybe he wants to set up his and his missus’ extended families. Have enough to risk starting a decent sized business when he retires. Or do something more significant with charity -- or all three. Even if he just wants a fancier lifestyle, who are we to judge what somebody does with his earnings? The implication that’s a moral failing might carry more weight, if most of us didn't care in the first place mainly because of our own personal desires (for club success).

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 3 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 August 2019 Durham is click bait on the wind up but he's half right. Maguire has more chance of CL football across a contract with United than one with Leicester but we're in a stronger position for this coming season than they are. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the same basic principles in my life wouldn't change And I'd make sure I'd manage the money sensibly to see me through comfortably. PS No problem with anyone earning whatever they can, that's not my issue. But just because you're a footballer it doesn't mean you can't adapt if financial circumstances change (ie after retiring) Yes they're used to a certain lifestyle but you should cut your cloth accordingly.
