on one side they generate lots of revenue via sponsors/TV/gates so good luck to them. On the other hand most appear to be absolute ape-like fuckwits who struggle to connect two words into a sentence and would probably knife you if you walked towards them on the street.

I'd say you'd be terribly lucky if a knife was all they slipped into you...

No-one in the football world gets paid shitloads unless it worth it to the club. Even if it means sticking them on a bench to stop other teams getting hold of them.

I wonder how many football clubs are really profitable as a business. I can't believe they can really support the total costs of the club, particularly with such salaries. I can only assume they are loss leaders for some other revenue-generating activities, or serve as handy fiscal mechanisms for reducing overall tax liability somewhere else.

then again, if they didn't earn so much it wouldn't cost fans nearly a grand for a season ticket. I'm off to have a big argument with myself now
