Just read in the papers that Wayne Rooney is about to sign a contract worth £300,000 a week! That is an incredible amount and absolutely ridiculous. At what point are the. FA, FIFA, UEFA or whoever going to say "hmmm, this is actually getting a bit silly now maybe we should limit this".
I know there is a lot of money in football and they can kind of justify spending that because the revenue coming in gives them the ability to shell out heaps of money. It's an increase in the times and things being more expensive a mars bar 15 years ago cost 30p now you'd be lucky to get one for under 65p so you could just say football is going with the times.
How long before a player is earning £1 million a week? 5 maybe 10 years time? That's the worrying thought and you will still here a quiet voice in the corner from FA, FIFA, UEFA etc saying "I think we need a wage cap". Well nows the time to do it before it get really silly.
