Yes, I have some sympathy, albeit limited, for Premier footballers here. Even when they're playing every week, they're there to be shot at when it comes to their pay, but, as I said earlier in this thread, I'd say that their union has an almost impossible job in persuading the public that they shouldn't take a compulsory wage cut currently.

I'm pleased to not be cynical enough to read that article and think it was a fake, but,if it is,the points being made by the player are, I believe, still entirely fair ones.

I should also say that I agree that there are others within the game with more responsibility in matters like this than individual players, hence that limited sympathy I mentioned.
