According to SSN….
So he will earn in a week what the average man earns a year in 10 years :ohmy:
Plenty will say that’s obscene, you could feed an African country for that etc…
I disagree. The Premier League is a multi billion pound business. The players are the centre piece. They are entitled to their fair share. Or should greedy Yanks and Arabs syphon it off?
I don’t begrudge the players a penny, provided they earn it. Sir Tom always said he would have played for nothing…
Disgraceful there are people going to food banks in this country and this prick is on that amount :evil: :evil: :evil:
I don’t begrudge the players a penny, provided they earn it.??? Of course you don’t, it’s not your money and you’re probably happy and comfortable with your lot.
But how on earth can playing a game for just 180 min a week earn you £3k, never mind £300k?And Sir Tom pretty much did play for nothing – not one would now .
‘It’s shocking that footballers earn blah blah blah’
What twaddle.
Wayne Rooney isn’t a public servant, so he will be paid whatever his club and sponsors feel is fit and is beneficial in bringing money into their organisation.
Usain Bolt is paid £38K per second for running, Bruce Willis $130K per minute for acting, and Oscar De La Hoya $1.4 million per minute to fight.
They all attract viewers and their money.
If you don’t like it, give all your extra cash to charity instead of spending it on watching sport, watching movies, listening to music etc.
People in the entertainment industry are always paid more because they have a unique and saleable talent. If not, we’d erect grandstands inside hospitals and charge to watch nurses at work.
Communism has been tried and it doesn’t work.

Exactly. The players are entitled to their slice of the cake.
Big as it is.
Or it’s even more cash to parasites like Hicks and Gillett.

Amen brother!
To put it in perspective, just think how much our old mate George Formby earned in the 1930s/40s :ohmy:

Certainly turned out nice again for him B)

Nobody is forced to pay to get into OT or the Emirates.
Those who choose to do it want to see the likes of Rooney etc, and that’s why they pay through the nose for the privilege to do so.
Capitalism.

Who said anything about communism?
Just cos folk are willing to pay it dunt make it right, esp with so many clubs running at a loss or paying off massive debts, so not actually bringing in money to their clubs.
Utd could choose not to pay him £300k as there is plenty of talent out there who command less. Wouldn’t be so bad if some money trickled down the league – Rooney is getting more in a week than a league 2 club gets in a year.I don’t have a problem with the amount of money a player can earn, fair play to them if they can get it (no pun intended).
What does it for me is the ridiculous admission prices the supporters have to pay & the crippling debt that most clubs run up, mostly down to players wages. Rather than put a cap on wages the clubs bleed the supporters dry with ridiculously high admission prices. Most prem players do not posses a talent worthy of the wages they get. The prem is full of over paid average players.Who said anything about communism?

A society that’s classless and where the wealth is shared equally – essentially, that’s communism. It didn’t work in real life and it definitely won’t work in the Premier League.
Yes there are plenty of players that would play for less than Rooney, but if you want a player that’s the calibre of Rooney and that would bring in the shirt sales etc, you’d have to pay £40m+ for them before even considering their salary. In United’s case it’s better to stick with what you know.
And yes, Rooney does get paid more per week than League Two clubs do in a year. But Rooney’s name sells football kit in China and MUTV subscriptions in India; Accrington Stanley don’t.
No, it might not be right, but neither is Bruce Forsyth still appearing on TV every week or talentless goons like One Direction touring the world and amassing £25m.
