It's a joke to be honest, people are really quick to defend them. Makes me sick that a footballer is fucking fighting tooth and nail to keep his 100k a week, but other people who earn less than that in a year are taking wage cuts without arguing.

Except that those same players could be donating that directly for all we know, whilst still paying income tax and NI contributions on the full whack. That's not defending them, that's refusing to jump on your bandwagon without knowing the facts (which we probably never will).

Yes thats how income tax works, you earn more you pay more..... and I don't doubt they make significant contributions through tax.
It still doesn't change the fact that we have a situation where they are not actually working, still taking full wages and staff at clubs are likely going to have to be let go as a result of no club income. Surely it doesn't take a genius to figure out something does not add up here? I'm still working and I am taking a pay cut ffs.

Did you deliberately misunderstand my post? I said they could be donating directly themselves while still paying all taxes. City themselves are covering all staff costs, what other clubs do is their lookout.Yes thats how income tax works, you earn more you pay more..... and I don't doubt they make significant contributions through tax.

In extreme cases a footballer earns more in one week than a person earns the same amount in 15 years...think about that
