What an odd thing to say.
It's not really.
Given that we've lived through 30 years of skyrocketing prices to pay for footballers obscene wages, which were justified by the fact that they have short careers. I think we can all, quite justifiably, not give a shit about them now.
fucksakes man, Lineker earns more in one hour on a Saturday night than most earn in a year. Shearer probably does too.
He made more than enough money during his career, that he never had to worry about anything for the rest of his, or his daughters lives.
So what's the cut off point in terms of percentage of earnings under which you can't complain if you get robbed?
Asking for a friend.
