You tell me, I thought I understood your post perfectly.
Try not hitting enter twice in the middle of sentences if you wish to convey whatever it is you meant with more clarity.
Edit: Nice fucking edit.
No. I did take the rest of your post at face value though.
My point is: Football has hardly to do with football anymore.:(
It is money. And just that.:o
Overpaid brats will fuck up.:dry:
I do not condone coke-use on the job.
Neither do i condone paying people million's for kicking a ball in the right
direction....
What a good example is that for kids who most likely will never reach that,
but yet pay their whole life for tickets/tv-rights to pay those salaries???
Carreer lasts 15 years????
What is wrong with a player working for money after his football career????
What an odd perception people making millions should behave.......
Enron, Ahold, Parmalat, blablabla....
Really....:blink:
Money corrupts. Period.

I'm talking of how football players should behave - exactly the same as how other employees should behave. If taking cocaine violated my contract (I don't have one) then I wouldn't take cocaine. If I took it and got caught then I would expect consequences.
How much money is being earned is irrespective. If you sign a contract and breech it then you expect consequences.
Football is big business, therefore the best exponants get paid a lot. It's the same as any industry. A salary cap would be nice but if you tried to apply that to any other industry it would be thought of as ridiculous. Money does corrupt but there is no alternative.
I totally agree.........:01:Quote:

And once there will be a point the growing gap between poor and rich has
gone too far................
Sadly i think i wil not live to see that mark in evolution.:(

Edit: Btw. Salarycaps do happen. Even to the biggest.
Mr. Moberg of Ahold got capped by the press and shareholders after the big
fraud.
:lol: We'll never see a society without money, tho' I agree it is a great concept and one I wouldn't be against. I'm more of a realist, mind :(
As to salary caps, you're right, they do happen in other sports (US Football, baseball and basketball at some point in their histories) as well as in proper Football in the 50s & 60s. I just find the whole concept restrictive.
I think Mr Ahold got his capped cause he was naughty, that's fair enough ;)
Nope, came in to clean the mess.Quote:

And an idealist!:01:
Knowing that saying/doing nothing leads to nothing.
Knowing the less than 1% that make 90% of the worlds money love when you
say it is inevitable.
And buy another footballteam to keep the masses happy and provide
themselfes with a new billion dollar toy.
But if your fatalism makes your cocoon feel good, feel free..........:blink:

Oh, I didn't know he was a good guy :blushing:
I also failed to follow the rest of your blurb. Fatalism? stfu.
Ask a Chelsea fan if he is happy. If he is then all is good.
Are Chelsea going to win the league. No. Can they sustain a level of success after he leaves? Possibly. They may end up like Blackburn though. Money does not guarentee success, look at who won the most prestigeous club competition in the world last May.

Thanks.Quote:
most prestigeous club competition ............
I rest my case.
Job well done.
Really. That makes about as much sense as the rest of your inane babble.Quote:
