Well yes but at least it’s his only job and he does it well. Can I raise you £100,000 a year for 7 hours a week for a complete failure who supposedly already has a full time job? ?
I know, the announcement had me thinking too - just what would/could you do with that much money? Even living in extreme luxury, you would be hard pressed to spend it all. Unless the excess was used for good causes (which he may very well do) what's the point of just amassing millions and millions that you couldn't spend in your lifetime?

Good luck to him, why does it bother some posters? Footballers as a whole earn a high salary. It's just the way it is. I really cannot get het up about it.
Exactly my feelings rafi. The real scandals and obscenities are our so called leaders giving out contracts and jobs to their mates regardless. The well paid footballers are not harming us but all these failed services provided/ run by Johnson’s chums will kill and disable many over the next few months
Agreed Suzie, why is it always footballers who get a hard time about getting high salaries. Football brings alot of joy for many, and alot players know what it is like to suffer poverty. Marcus Rashford for one, look at the good he done with the childrens school meals. I really do not begrudge him his salary, or that of any other football player.
If anybody wants a serious discussion about the way we choose to reward people in our society and how we place value on the contribution they make, I’m up for it. What I’m not up for is scapegoating one very very tiny minority group as though they are the real problem we face.
I worry far far more about what our current Government and its leader are teaching our youngsters. ? if tomorrow all football disappeared, what difference would it make? But if we as a society demanded truth, transparency, competency , compassion for those in need , fairness, justice from our Government and got it, that would transform our lives.
