No I didn't. I didn't say how much they should earn, I asked what others thought, and you can't change what the thread is about just by asking a question. They haven't. And a £20k limit wouldn't help them in their struggle for survival. So hundreds of thousands of people dream of being able to...

That doesn't seem to have been the point of this thread. Hartlepool are currently in danger of going bust, and that wouldn't have been helped by a limit of £20k a week wages. The Championship clubs spending beyond their means is mostly wealthy people speculating to accumulate. If you want to...

So free market the world over, with the top people getting paid millions, whatever the market dictates, except for footballers, who should get less. Nah.

So the top players would get less than Gary Linekar, who just talks about the football, and loads less than the likes on Thierry Henry. Doesn't seem right to me.

Sure that all makes sense, but the point still stands that top footballers get paid shed loads, as do top actors and musicians. Personally I think the amount of money those at the top get is obscene, but then that's the same as other top sportsmen/women, and actors and musicians, so I don't see...

No, and nor are the footballers spending millions to reach a higher level. Film and music producers however, must spend a fair chunk, but then that's not really what was being talked about, it's just the payment of the performers that's being discussed. You're confusing teams with players. Sure...

That's what you think PL players should get :D

I wasn't asking what they do get, just what people (those that think they get too much) think they should get paid. Kind of like the disparity between the top actors and top musicians and the rest?

That's what you think they should get? It's quite out of place with others in the entertainment industry, like actors, musicians, and even presenters. And it takes no account for the shorter career than the other examples I've given.

Sure but I wasn't suggesting a cap or any other solution, simply asking what people that was a fair amount, instead of too much.

So for those of you who think there's too much money in football, how much do you think there should be? How much should PL players get paid?
