Imagine you're an average UK worker, you get up, travel to work, slog for 8 hours, travel home, and pay your own travel expenses. Well the average UK salary is £34,963 per annum so you would need to keep getting up each morning for anything between 5 to 12 YEARS in order to earn what one of these players gets in a WEEK?? Think about that the next time you're struggling to get up and out to work, you're going to have to do this maybe 3,000 times to earn what they earn in a week? Not only that but from your take home pay you're buying match tickets, overpriced shirts, cable etc. to subsidize their insane salaries. And to cap it all off most of these players have no affiliation with your club and are only there because they're being paid obscene amounts of money to play there, and if they get a more obscene offer they'll probably be off to kiss another badge.
@@beatlebrian4404 Yep, and even though they have financial advisors some of them still get caught for tax evasion. Meanwhile your tax is just taken off you by the government automatically and you have no say in the matter. I love football and have been watching it for over 50 years, but the financial gap between the ordinary fans and the players has become crazy. I mean, is one hour of their time really worth 500 hours of your time? I'm not saying skill shouldn't be rewarded because it should, but should kicking a ball around a field be rewarded hundreds of times more than someone who's saving lives or someone who puts their life on the line to protect others?
@@thewildgoose7467 I agree but sometimes football is like gladiators arena. They might get broken ankle, arm, neck, head injury to entertain us. I know there are jobs like coal miner or oil driller on the platforms or other dangerous works (which are extremely well paid by the way) but there are still safety procedures and gears while on the football field nobody could predict what's gonna happen.
@@lemonacidrounds7293 I think it's stretching it a bit to compare modern footballers to gladiators? Maybe going back to the '40's - '70's when the were NOT being paid obscene salaries it may have been more accurate, but not in modern football where if shin pads make contact they collapse like they've been shot. However your comparison to the gladiators does fit in terms of the "bread and circuses" aspect. Just like in Roman times entertainment (including football) is being used to distract attention away from the collapse of the financial system IMO.
@@thewildgoose7467 I just gave an example. Players aren't immune to any kind of traumas. A Sheffield United player broke his leg in an unexpected way and it was nasty. This is what I'm talking about.
Rashford is the least problematic of the 5 why ? Oh that's simple a combination of he's scored the most goals of any player in the post Ferguson era And he came from our youth academy so we didn't pay like 70 mil for him unlike the other guys mentioned
Its a rich club Man Utd. Lots of leeches. The club is not exactly sinking but in my opinion only one player deserves such payment and he's not in this list. Its Garnacho.
These salaries are so unfair, absurd and ludicrous. No athlete in the whole world deserves these kind of salaries. Our world has gone bonkers and crazy.
But if you don't have industries like these , how can the UK compete against other countries ? The world is not fair, but it's no one's fault. It just isn't.
Wait damn straight it's fair the club makes money of the players name and performances they are the product that millions around the world pay subscriptions to watch them play, you damn straight the wages should reflect the sheer amount of TV revenue.
@@nickharmer2282 My friend,I was referring to the old paymasters i.e. The working-class fans, not the payees i.e.. The , mainly,working class players:)
Why is everybody complaining. For once the 'worker in the field' makes the money same as management. The worker has the bargaining power in football. Good for them to use it!
16 english player's out of 50! 15 sancho is back at Dortmund,english football....Full of foreign owners with foreign managers and foreign mercenaries the only thing english is the name on the door!
No wonder why no English managers can win the prem. Or any English managers can won UCL in UCL era (last time it's the European cup by Liverpool in 1984). Take out every foreign owners and no English team would be bigger than Spurs. Take out every foreign managers and no English sides can be relevant in Europe since Heysel stadium tragedy by Liverpool in 1985. Even Liverpool would only won 4 UCL at max, man Utd 1, Aston Villa 1, and Nottingham 2. That's it. Nobody would said either Chelsea and city are powerhouses like now they would have the exact same European legacy as Arsenal maybe even worse
These salaries are a bargain compared to American athletes that play basketball, baseball, football. Baseball player Shohei Ohtani makes $70 million per year. That’s well over a million per week. Basketball player Steph Curry makes $51.9 million per year
True. I will say that TV revenues for U.S. Sports are pretty high and can support the salaries under a salary cap but also, the salaries are usually performance based on some metrics. The PL list has some deserved top earners but some seriously poor ones mixed in.
Since last year Shohei earn more than Lionel Messi ($65M). That doesn't seems right. Last year Steph also earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo ($46M). Totally insane.
Most of the wages are pretty deserving in my opinion, especially the top 4, however I do believe Man U needs to cut some contracts, they are bleeding money and they could get a squad just as competent by paying 30% or 40% less
I think this illustrates a couple of things: Spurs want to be a top 4 team but pay mid-table wages. ManU and Cheslea have had terrible recruitment and in their desperation for top 4 have chucked silly money at very average players. City, Arsenal, and Liverpool seem to have got it right (with a few exceptions; Havertz on £280,000 - lol).
@@TA-wg9oi So.. Villa being 4th means that spurs aren't paying mid-table wages? or does villa being 4th mean that ManU haven't chucked silly wages at mediocre players?

Complete disgrace the money these football players get . Just to kick a ball people work 7 days aweek and the poor nurses and police and army firemen . Work there ass off for peanuts. Disgrace money

Yeah, and if they happen to fall down and do something more than chip their nail varnish, the people who help save their ridiculous money obtaining ways, get paid peanuts.

Arsenal buy Rice and Havertz in the same summer; the market puts Rice at £105mand Havertz at £60m and yet Havertz gets £280k PW and Rice £240k. It makes no sense whatsoever.
It makes absolute sense. Attacking players always earn more. Games are settled with goals. Galkeepers, defenders and defensive mids always will earn less.

Man united players wages are a joke, they are hopeless
thats the only reason i watched is just to see how much they are robbing. funny as feck
And Chelsea
Martial at #13 and basically paid to sit at home and play on his PS5. He is my role model ..... lmao.
