Agreed......but a footballer (or anyone else) who has a large chunk of money to put away every month will have some of their money invested in shares/property etc by any financial advisor. I'd imagine a tonne of footballers lost fortunes in Bank shares and property in the last 10 years. They are not going to just stick it in a bank savings a/c earning 1%. |

Many a rich man has gone broke with the help of a financial advisor...... But agreed, the clubs could have done more to help them out. Moe education would have helped a lot of them out.

Each footballer should be made to employ a good financial advisor or even their agent should help them to map their finances for their whole life not just while they are in the game ..
Most of these lads have hardly been schooled and p1ss away fortunes during their careers . It should be the case that these guys should not really need to have to find a job....if they put away the right amount when they were earning it

Not quite through footballers in the 80's earned 300% above the national average in the UK in the 1980's.They were all quite well off with plenty of investment opportunities. One of the big questions is how footballers survive when the lights go out? - how you fill your days afterwards at the end of the day these are mainly working class lads with a talent - I believe it's 3 out of every five get divorced and have addiction problems - it's the X factor syndrome. Somebody mentioned moving with the times - From 1992 - 2001 footballer's wages had risen to 1,700% above the national average and by season 2009/10 they stood at around 3,500% above.Whereas the national average wage between 1992-2010 rose by 186%. The question is in 2017 - are clubs business or sporting institutions? Globalised commodity or community asset? If it is cheaper and more profitable to produce a product in China then the UK why not move the raw materials and labour to China? This is the battle line of the 21st century - No? |

It is when it impinges on you is the problem, so in an all-seater stadium when people are pushing in and out and you just want to see the game you paid for. It is why terracing suits football.

It would be a big giveaway indeed It's beyond me why someone else would be bothered about what someone else is doing. As said before if the ticket was paid by someone else I can understand.

They might have gone for a piss and been given a free hotdog on the way back in.
Your evidence is all circumstantial. |

I assume the clue would be when they turn up 5 minutes later eating a hotdog?

Unless you were also out buying a hot dog after ten minutes of a match, how would you know somebody if else is?

I'm talking about OOT's - lads in London for the weekend who spend the game taking selfies and pictures of lads taking corners. They might come again in five years. This is one of the whole issues some football clubs have lost touch with local community & the local fan. Football has become a tourist attraction to some. Tend to go to Non League nowadays where you get to meet the grounds man/chairman and the star striker all in the clubhouse over a jar. |

Birmingham have always had a huge support from the West Indian community there, even reflected in their hooligan group the Zulus. Wolves, with the Punjabi Wolves, and Bradford are two other clubs who have done huge work in this area in recent years. I know what ya meant though! I am staying out of this debate in general though, other than to say modern football is incredibly boring!

Kenilworth road is nearly 100% white, the area around it might be home to Luton's immigrant community but the club has done very little to entice them to matches.

Now we're going a bit too far.. Not even Kenilworth Road is that bad!
What is it with the modern day attitude of fans thinking they can tell other fans what to do when they're at the game? Unless the ticket is paid for me I may think twice about it but I want to go eat after 10 mins I will, if I want to then go crack one off in the bogs after 65 mins, I will! Cos I paid for it!
