Terry becomes highest-paid player in Premier League history | News | Guardian Unlimited Football
When we are seeing our season tickets rising by 12% and 14 % with seemingly no end in sight,this is the kind of story that makes me puke. And even more so for us united fans helping our despised owners pay the debt off that they had to borrow to buy a club they couldn't afford. I am afraid the greed in football seems to have no end, does anybody in football realise how much of a chunk of what you earn in a week, or a year goes to funding their snouts in a trough lifestyle. I don't mind them earning substantially more than i do, but when you are almost being priced out of being to able to go and watch the team you have supported through thick and thin for thirty odd years ( and there was plenty of thin in there ) it's just getting way out of hand for me.
Another article from the guardian this morning discussing the overpaid ( though it doesn't mention footballers )provides some perspective http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/khaled_diab/2007/07/our_economic_alchemy.html
