This bloke strikes a chord with me because even if I were, say, in my thirties now, I could easily live the rest of my life in a manner which I would call comfortable for the rest of my life on two months payment for a good Premier League player as long as the money was invested sensibly.
The tax point made by the PFA is bogus and a huge own-goal (wink). Why don't they just donate the entire 30% to the NHS? Issue solved.

So please try harder. I know that it is difficult for you.
Not true. See https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/905646...ichest-people/

He's apparently giving away a load of his wages, not devised a fool proof formula to stop poverty and disease.
I can't agree with that. Who knew George Michael was such an awesome secret philanthropist until he died?

Nobody seems to want to explain how the hole caused by loss of all that tax will be filled.
As far as the Prem, it's crap. Liverpool who made 48m profit last season, can't pay 20k a year max workers? Utter bollocks. The government scheme was intended to help small businesses facing cash flow issues get through this - not for large companies to take the piss and get taxpayer subsidies. Lower league and non-league clubs you can understand would be in need of that help, but the rest? Crap.
Unnamed player claims to have given 200k a month to charity for 3 years? Bollocks. Conveniently unidentified player, the sneering political tone of the conversation... DHOTY candidate.
The foregone pay isn't going to disappear. They could just donate the entire amount to the tax authorities or donate it.

So what you're saying is you're happy for incredibly rich clubs to abuse a system designed to help businesses who may end up with cashflow issues by treating low paid staff like shit because highly paid players could take pay cuts, oh and pay the missing tax voluntary hence getting effectively taxed twice... whilst the incredibly rich clubs get taxpayer money.
You seem to want to blast highly paid players rather than putting the blame at the clubs.
If you're talking lower league / non-league clubs, where there isn't the cash slushing around, that's a different story - even than, that just shows how badly run football clubs are when it comes to business. Too many spend what they don't have, in that case the lower paid staff should absolutely be taken care of.

Read this CAREFULLY. I know that you struggle:

So the CEO of a high street bank earns a salary of.......wait for it.....the same as the average Championship player!! £19k / week.
And the rest is all bonuses and shares.
Oh dear, oh dear 🙈
Game over dullards.

You ****ing stupid ****
Do you seriously think the weekly income that high flyers in industry earn doesn't match that of premiership footballers ?
I have a mate who works in a major investment bank worldwide who takes in a lot more than your average premiership player
And he is a philanthropist who gives a lot to charity
I bet you give **** all

I theory, you're bang on, what isn't fair (in my opinion) is the pressure from the media and public who are using this as a way of bashing footballers. I think that the wealth disparity has been created by markets and exploitation, not working class lads who have worked very hard to get to a level that most don't. I'm trying to look past the money and concentrate on how we as a nation seem to attack the easy targets when there's a load of reasons why these poor people in the lowest paid jobs are being treated irresponsibly and have very little in terms of support and employment rights. I think what should happen is that footballers should decide whether they want to help out or not, i'm sure that they'll do the right thing.
The irony is that many football club owners get away with paying their tax, denounce government over regulation, workers rights and health and safety, yet are the first in line when they need a handout to protect their wealth.
