Interesting take on the greed

The Fear

A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
Interesting take on the greed in football and the current discussion about players not being put on furlough but non playing staff (who can ill afford it) are.

Quite good on the players being accused of being greedy:

He’s a really interesting person, very self-effacing and kind. He has given away all of his £200,000-per-month wages for about three years now, donating it to various charities and investing in projects, anonymously where possible. His position is that Premier League footballers are massively overpaid and that something needs to be done about it, preferably a radical wage cap. He’s very critical of the people in football, from agents to club owners and directors, and “all the flies that circle around the shit”, almost all of whom he says are “horrible greedy bastards”.

I know it focusses on the PL but still a good read

That is the PFA stooping to even a lower moral and despicable level. Their argument is totally idiotic as well. All they need to is to pay the tax due and then forego the net remaing amount.
The PFA, the PL clubs that have furloughed some of their non-playing staff (including Liverpool) and the PL (including billionaire owners) have scored a massive own goal on this.
