I disagree
They get paid based on how much they earn the club in sponsorship etc. If you made the company you worked for millions of pounds every year you would expect a great salary. They could sit in the middle of the pitch and masturbate furiously and as long as they made their clubs millions they would deserve the salary. Its also worth noting that its only a very select few that get paid these massive salaries. Its like actors. A select few of them will, simply by appearing in the movie cause it to make millions more, so in turn they get paid a higher salary. But for every well paid actor there are thousands waiting tables to pay the rent.

This actually makes me feel slightly better about it
I always thought they just got paid dickloads for kicking a ball around, I didn't realise about the sponsorship stuff.
