I think this is the beginning of the long overdue reality check for the football fraternity. The pay up at all costs culture has reached its peak. Most of the growth potential for the ELP has be realised and players are in for a rude awakening if they believe the golden goose is immortal. That said in the midst of all the madness 275 K a week is reasonable. I would guess he could earn well in excess of this in Spain.
I would love nothing more than for the wages these guys earn to be reduced back to realistic levels, what that level is I don't know.
