Jack Grealish - A Sobering Fact

[Lutterworth Fox]

He is being paid £2,200 per hour, every hour..... even when he is asleep. He can go to bed at midnight, get up at 8.00am and will be £17,000 richer.

 

If that is too much for you to get your head around, think of it like this: If he is just paid for the work he does i.e. playing for an hour and a half for say 50 times a season, his hourly rate becomes £256,533. DISGUSTING

 

All this does is encourage other players to demand more and more money which in the long run is unsustainable. Eventually professional football will implode on itself and maybe we can get back to some sort of sanity.

 

By the way, for the £100M transfer fee which would you prefer, one Jack Grealish or a hundred Jamie Vardy's.....

I know which I would choose.

Good luck to him, I wish it was me.

Think this topic should be in general football.

Meh.

Some actors earn multi millions for a few months making a film. And then go and make more films, earning shedloads.

 

Market forces, innit.

People have a weird obsession with Jack Grealish.

[HybridFox]

Don't really care tbh.

 

Just glad the ref didn't buy his one contribution to the game - a massive dive yesterday

No idea why

You could do a similar analysis of most footballers and the numbers will be hard to comprehend but supply and demand. It's not like this is taxpayers or the public money, but it's financed by private individuals.

The thing is these footballers make that money with their marketing value and performances on the pitch that leads to huge prize money for the teams involved. It’s capitalism plain and simple, they are worth every penny in the system we live under.

 

The alternative would be them generating that income for the club and it going to line the billionaire owners pockets instead.

[Bryn]

As long as he pays every single penny of tax that he should I don't care.

[Izzy]

It’s not his fault he gets paid silly money. None of us would turn it down would we…

Bit tough on him when the clocks go back an hour though 

[AyewJoking]

Remember when he was that scrawny little fcuker that scored against us in the 3-2 comeback v villa in 2015?

 

Good luck to him I say (jealous emoticon)

Football is built around greed, it doesn't matter if you look at the players or the TV companies. Football isn't a fans sport, it's a business unfortunately. 

 

I'm more frustrated at Sky Sports / BT sports charging the public extortionate money to enjoy the sport they love than I am Jack Grealish taking whatever money out the bank account of the filthy rich.

Can’t work out why people are so offended over what footballers are paid. That’s the industry. Plus your working of his ‘hourly rate’ for 90 minutes is a bit strange. It’s still astronomical but he’ll still be training however many times a week for however many hours. Travel to and from away games, staying away from family/friends etc.

 

Of course I don’t know what you do, but would you divide your salary down by the length of the single call that concludes in a sale? The duration of the meeting that results in a project completion? Or do you like to think you’re earning your money in the weeks, if not months, of groundwork that goes into delivering those things?

 

I agree that the money involved is utterly absurd and I’m sure the vast majority of us have a much more miserable time earning our living than Grealish does, but that’s not his fault. Fair play to him or any footballer who’s securing the financial safety of their families for generations to come.

[baldeagle]

Yeah but he’ll always be a dirty Brummie 

[Vestan Pance]

It's unfair on him to work out the money by the hour, it's a much smaller figure if you do it by the dive.

Absolutely, what has he got to do with Leicester City. C'mon mods move to GF.

When his agent said CITY had made a 100M bid he immediately signed the contract but he thought it was Leicester, not Manchester.
