I'm fast falling out of love with football. No, not the game itself but the greedy, selfish, thoughtless, money-grabbing arseholes who run our top clubs. Reading today that, once the title is won, Liverpool will raise Virgil Van Djik's salary to £220,000 per week in a £57 MILLION package.
Now I'm not blaming the player - if the cash is on offer then he's gonna take it. Who wouldn't? But just remember that the shameless gits who own/run Liverpool, wanted to furlough their ancilliary staff until they were literally shamed out of it by public opinion. Of course they had the money to pay their staff properly: the Van Djik deal confirms that but it still didn't stop them trying to freeload on the taxpayer.
Greedy bastards!!!!
It is my eternal hope that the whole financial structure of football crashes and burns with a vengeance. It deserves to.
