I think we're all in agreement that the amount footballers earn is obscene, and is partly responsible for decline in the relationships with the fans, as very few of us have anything in common with these people anymore.
So what do you think would be the right amount for footballers to earn? Obviously it would change depending on the level of player, so let's go with the following examples:
Leo Messi
Andy Carroll
Gordon Greer
Jake Robinson
It should be a well paid career as its only a short career, but I don't really see why a Championship footballer should be able to retire at 35 and never need to work again. They aren't at the very top of their profession, after all.
I would go with
LM - £500K pa
AC - £200K pa
GG - £120K pa
JR - £60K pa
Fair? Too high / low? What does everyone think?
