Carers always seem very underpaid, although I know a few, and they do seem to enjoy it. I guess it's a steady wage, they seem to get a sense of achievement from doing good and it can be fitted in around other things - they deserve more though.

Loads of consultants etc are overpaid. Jesus, I could tell some stories on that..
I don't mind footballer salaries for a similar reason. It's not really their fault - they don't sign the billion dollar TV contracts.

Pogbas agent who died got €27m for his man utd transfer, which is nearly two years of pogbas salary. I've more of a problem with money going elsewhere, rather than to the talents that we watch.

Obviously I'd like the game to be cheaper for us fans, before anyone questions this.
