00rawat Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 why do footballers get paid alot ? like when i got to leicsester matches i see all lesta players have good expensive cars. when some times there play so crap. what are your thouhgts i would like to hear from you. thank you.
C-man Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Because not many people are good enough to play the game. Like surgeons, they get paid a lot because there aren't many people who are qualified to perform surgery. On the other hand, firemen aren't paid a lot because whenever there's a job vacancy theres loads of applicants, so they can be paid a lower amount. I have no problem with football players earning loads of money because they are only making the most of their talents.
Cat Burger Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Because football is such a booming business. And thanks to agents, who can hold clubs to ransom over contracts. The power lies with the players and not the clubs.

Bert Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 It's all to do with how big the football industry is.
Joe. Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Because clubs are prepared to pay the obscenely high wages
Ultra Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Because clubs are prepared to pay the obscenely high wages And we're prepared to pay obscenely high admission prices, and hefty Sky subscriptions on top!
lildave3 Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 I have no problem with the likes of 50k a week or less, but people like ballack and shevchenko who are on 130k a week is just plain ridiculous.
Daggers Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 It's a penis thing, because the penis mightier than the sword.
Joe. Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 When you stop and think how much footballers are on a week its just plain taking the piss! Just think what you could get with the cash that they're on!

lookwhaticando Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Football is entertainment. So in effect, you could compare Footballer's salaries with those of movie stars, and draw the same conclusions. They get paid lots because people demand entertainment - we're willing to pay for entertainment.
Daggers Posted 14 October 2006 Posted 14 October 2006 Football is entertainment. You don't get down the Walkers a lot do you...
lookwhaticando Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 You don't get down the Walkers a lot do you... I use the word in the general sense. If it was absolutely no entertainment at all, nobody would go... and even we have 14,000 ST holders or whatever.

You have to view it more like a drug, I doubt drug takers get much enjoyment/entertainment after the nintital buzz but they can't resist going back for more.

I need a waterproof tent, people keep urinating on my current one and it's got a leaky roof.
davieG Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 I need a waterproof tent, people keep urinating on my current one and it's got a leaky roof. If people keep urinating on you I would suggest that your going to need more than just a waterproof tent.
lookwhaticando Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 I also need a silly outfit such as this:
Milky Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 compared to film actors and american sportsman they don't actually get paid lots of money.
Daggers Posted 15 October 2006 Posted 15 October 2006 compared to film actors and american sportsman they don't actually get paid lots of money. But compared to the other 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the world they ****ing do... Factomundo.

Factomundo. does the rest of the world have a career that ends when they reach 35 or so? does the rest of the world perform in front of thousands of paying customers every week? does the rest of the world provide entertainment to thousands of people every week?
Brummie-FOX Posted 16 October 2006 Posted 16 October 2006 Stupid, over-rated players asking for £100,000 per week. If i were a footballer id settle for £1,000 if offered!! Why do you need 100 grand per week to kick a football around a park? Its RIDICULOUS!
coale39 Posted 16 October 2006 Posted 16 October 2006 er....ok. You do realise Leicester players arn't on 100 000? If so this belongs in the general forum. Yeah footballers wages are stupid but how many people can play football at a world class level? Not many. These players are in huge demand = Payed a lot of money. This is like many jobs.
