The reason I don't mention bankers, brokers or others is because this is a football forum and I want my club to be around long after the current group of players are gone. If the government have set a cap of £2500 on financial help then I don't think players should be earning upwards of £10,000 a week, even taking into account their short careers.
I've just seen Barcelona announce a 70% reduction on player salaries. It might be the only way to save football clubs.
