Ok there are a minority who receive astronomical money but what about the run of the mill top flight player? Compared to the normal working man he’s on a fortune but like the normal working man does his financial commitments reflect his earnings. Many people live to the max, take on a mortgage up to the hilt as a young man, hoping that the repayments will ease in future years, with natural wage increases.
