Absolute joke!

Wayne Rooney is now on £300,000 a week! Scandalous amount! It's no wonder smaller clubs go under! Even with promotion to the higher leagues most of them could never afford these sort of wages. Bloody TV companies! FUMING!!! :mad: No man is worth this sort of money! He isn't even a very good player!

Totally agree it's disgraceful and obscene.People are having to go to foodbanks to get food,people losing their homes because they can't afford the rent.I love football but I can see why those who don't get angry at the money that footballers get,and reading about Rooney getting his new weekly wage makes me think has the world gone mad ?

Rooney has just signed a new four year contract on almost £300K per week. An incredible wage for a pretty mediocre footballer who is hardly even a good role model. Do you find this offensive to the ordinary football fan?

Yes I do - it's obscene. I am slowly falling out of love with professional football and all the shit that goes with it nowadays. Bring back Coventry Amateurs -- remember them ? Bye bye football, I'm thinking of packing my bags.

I do find it offensive. £14.4 million per year .average player .and football.. Is in shocking debt.can't and won't carry on like that. The trouble is everyone is better off apart from the fan who has to pay more to watch their club

Apparently it was the manager that convinced him to stay LOL!! Fair play to him if he can get it, more the fool on Man United for paying him that amount.

It's no wonder his Mrs sticks around, football will disappear up it's own rectum at this rate, I don't think he's worth even a tenth of this.

£300,000 a week is obscene and disgusting, yet some will defend it

The system rules not the people.

And aslong as people keep paying the criminal tickets prices, buying all the rip off merchandise and paying their Sky Sports subscriptions it'll continue.

The problem starts when teams spend beyond their means, as we did in the Richardson era, banking on success and all the trappings that come with it. At some point the bubble will burst. I know a lot of people who used to love football - fans of teams like West Brom, Wolves, Birmingham - but they have now grown disinterested. As one season-ticket holder at the Albion said to me, 'what's the point of WBA being in the Premier league? The best they can hope for is 11th place. I'd rather we were relegated so we can at least challenge for promotion and have excitement again'. And he's right. They'll never win the PL. Nor will teams like Villa or Wolves or The Blues. Football is a pointless exercise when the best you can hope for is being the 11th best team in the country, unless you are fortunate enough to be bankrolled by a Sheikh or an oil billionaire. When the hardcore lose interest, so will the TV companies, so will the Sheikhs and the billionaires. until *POP* - football dies.

Why is there not more of a wholesale public/media outcry of this unbelievable remuneration package amazes me - we seem to have sleepwalked to this ludicrous situation where we pay a reasonable Prem League player 100 x the Prime Ministers salary.

It surely defies logic when comparing our boys in blue paltry sum of £3K per week, oops hang on even that is on a par with the PM - I'd better shut up !!

It's the greed of the player that makes me angry. When you're already on 250k a week and you ask for MORE!! How can he possibly need any more money?

Could not agree with you more .
12 years of my wages a week

All 92 league clubs should get together and say enough is anough and set a wage cap on what ever league you are in,

The normal working man can not afford to take their family to watch football anymore

I agree with a wage cap for players. £150,000 a YEAR for Prem players, £100,000 for Championship, etc.... Make these Pima Donna footballers realise that it is THEMSELVES who are killing this great game of ours. I know it was Jimmy Hill who instigated the need for the abolition of the "maximum wage" in football, but over the decades it has gone bloody silly! As someone quite rightly stated earlier, the leaders of the world are only on a fraction of this!

Jimmy's was a vision of fairness, not greed. Who on earth could have predicted this kind of nonsense. It was ridiculous in the 90's - this is more of an abomination!!

Is he worth it ,almost certainly not. Does he need the extra money, of course not. However this is a private deal between an employee, and a private company. If Man Utd are 'daft' enough to pay 1 player that much money, then that's their problem. No one has put a gun to their head and forced them to accede to his demands. The NFL pays its top stars multi millions, its just the way the markets work.
When we paid £6 million for Robbie Keane, fans didn't complain about us paying probably a whole season's gate money on just 1 player, who could have broken his leg one week later.

The reports seem to say he'll earn 'up to' £300k p/w. I get up to £300k a week too, he ain't so special.

It's a ridiculously obscene amount of money. I think their logic is by paying him another 100k a week it's 5.2 million extra for a year and is better than the risk of selling arguably their best player for 30 - 40 mill and having to buy a replacement for 25 to 30 mill + his signing on fee + wages.

It's basic economics as to why footballers are paid so much. You people are all idiots and too old to be on the internet.
